In this session I'll be introducing Spezzle, a planning tool that helps you and your customers make Drupal site specifications that will require minimal custom coding.
The platform allows you to collaborate with the community in general or with a set of people on feature libraries, basically functionality recepies for Drupal sites. But besides the feature description there is the possibility to add information about:
the implementation of the feature (e.g. what modules, how you should configure them)
I'll show you my design process, from start to finish- outlining everything from planning and research to client hand-off. I'll show you the time saving techniques I've used both as an in-house designer and a freelancer to get projects done right, and done on time.
We'll cover:
* Research & planning
* Wireframing
* Delivering design comps
* Testing & iteration
* Getting client approval
* The theming process
* Getting copy & content written & in place
* Successful hand-off and launch
