Skip Photoshop

When designing a UI we usually go right from a quick paper sketch to HTML/CSS. We skip the static Photoshop mockup. Here are a few reasons why we skip photoshop:

  1. You can’t click a Photoshop mockup.
  2. Photoshop gives you too many tools to focus on the details.
  3. The text in Photoshop is not the text on the web.
  4. Photoshop puts the focus on production, not productivity.
  5. Photoshop is repeating yourself.
  6. Photoshop isn’t collaboration friendly.
  7. Photoshop is awkward.
