My main focus at work right now is getting us moving towards better immersive editorial content. We’re a content marketing agency, produce a lot of digital content and print as well. I’m the only UX person left and we also lost some devs. My role is merging more within our creative and editorial team.
I’ve used most of the leading design and prototyping tools and almost all of them lack scrolling actions. Invision Studio doesn’t have it. We haven’t wanted to take on Figma or Framer. I need tools that allow for easy and accurate creation of complex interactions and storytelling features and animations even just for prototyping for devs, or need tools that I can build out actual web pages. I’m a longtime Wordpress user, so anything that gets me into code and css customization is perfect.
I’ve been using ReadyMag for this kind of thing but it has its trade offs. For example... it has a slideshow tool but it can’t be styled. I can build a slideshow module but the actions based on link triggers are limited. Ex: I can create a sequence from item 1 to 2 and back, but not 2 to 3 and so on. I built an immersive content piece in it for a pitch recently and everyone loved it; it went so much further than a static comp to show scrolling effects.
So now I’m looking at WebFlow because it seems more versatile than ReadyMag. Better handoff to devs for heavier customizations. Bit of a learning curve, but it’s going quickly. Seems like there are plenty of animation features to learn.
On account of my agency reducing staff, it seems the right tool to work as a more multifaceted designer / ux / web design / etc.
- Then yeah, you're good with WFgrafician
- If you spend a day on the vid tutorials first, you'll be off and running in no time.monoboy
- The interactions are OK once you get the workflow, class and object naming etc. Took me a bit of time to get it.monoboy
- The Grid layout tool is cool btw, perfect for editorial and tile designs.monoboy
