WebSlide has changed dramatically! Learn More About the New WebSlide

I’ve always found that sending creative mockups for web sites and slideshows to clients is a huge pain. Most people settle for bundling up a PDF and emailing it over to their client. This is absolutely not an acceptable practice. Instead, I’d like to propose a solution: WebSlide.

The Problem

PDFs of design mockups are often poorly scaled, pixelated, and create more confusion than they’re worth (unless we’re talking about logo & print design). Often times, designers will even include an image of a browser wrapped around their mockups.

What? Seriously? Stop it!

And what about sending an email with images as an attachment? Again, this isn’t showing designs for a web site in its natural environment. Why can’t we just show our clients how it will look in their own browser?

The Solution

Why not have an environment that can display your mockups from within the actual intended medium?

Enter WebSlide, a jQuery-based, user-configurable, and user-themeable application that has no server requirements (other than it being a web server, of course).
