How do you display your creative mockups to clients? Do you email them a package of images? Or maybe a single, poorly compressed PDF? Or do you spend a bunch of time dropping images into HTML wrappers and placing them up on a demo site? I’ve tried all of them and I found that none of them really gave me and my clients what we really needed.

In June 2009, I released an alpha-version of an interface for viewing images in a slideshow-like format called WebSlide. It was great and served its purpose, but still wasn’t enough. While simple, it was still slightly cumbersome to set up if you weren’t comfortable with JavaScript. On top of that servers it was being tested on quickly became quite unorganized and people were forgetting just where their WebSlide revisions were at.

So, in comes the real WebSlide. A hosted application that lets you quickly and painlessly manage and share designs, mockups, and all sorts of your pretty pictures.

Features

• Organize projects by client
• Control project access for multiple user-levels
• Post and review multiple project revisions
• Fast and easy interface for uploading multiple images at once and organizing them
• Email notifications to users when new revisions are posted
• Track comments on each project revision

Demo

Here’s a quick video of me uploading this project revision for WebSlide:

I Want It Now!

WebSlide is currently in beta-testing mode. Registration keys are being given out as more bugs are squashed, so if you’d like to become a beta-tester or be notified when WebSlide is publicly available, please sign up at the WebSlide home page.

Watermelon Sauce is a collaboration of two experienced professionals, myself and Zachary Johnson. We spent almost 2 years on our original identity, but always felt like we needed something that more fit both Watermelon and Sauce. With that, we have our new logo and new Watermelon Sauce website.

My personal blog was left dormant for almost 3 years, so I decided it was time to redesign and reinvent it a bit. I set up an Automator script on my computer and had it take a screenshot every 10 seconds while I worked, in 60 minute intervals.

Chris Coiyer over at CSS-Tricks put out a call for helpful snippets just a few days ago. I submitted a few to him and realized that I never really get around to posting them here. What a jerk I am for not sharing! How about some love? Sure thing…

So, I realized that today is my birthday. I’m not normally one to share personal stuff, but maybe it’s time to switch things up a bit. So, I posted this to twitter to see the reactions:
