Ever have those "massive sigh of relief" moments at work? I've been working on client wireframes and comps with one other designer under the expectation that we had a TON of work to do to finalize by first week of December to hit a mid-January launch. Full overhaul of a huge section of the site, new modules, content templates, etc. It was overwhelming to put it mildly. Vacation next week for both of us made it even more challenging.
Turns out, all we can do by January is deliver new content in existing templates they already have. Client and our team was instantly happy with a phased approach for new stuff that we can stagger out through April 2021.
It's as if I was in the garbage compactor scene in Star Wars, awaiting my imminent fate, and then the machine just stopped and we immediately knew were weren't about to die. I can't even start to tell you how relieved I am. And, bonus, we got all our wires done in the past two weeks and are now ahead of the game and able to collaborate far better with these clients with a lot more breathing room.
- In many projects I convince the clients to skip wireframes, if you have good user stories you can go directly to high fidelity comps, saves tons of timegrafician
- ^learned this a decade ago when presenting wireframes 1st then the client thought it was the final design and rejected the offer as "too simplistic" lolgrafician
- ^0 concept about wireframes.
@mg33 that's nice, lots of time to overthink everything to a babylonian level, and rush into finishing everything in the last week.sted - enjoy the stress relief what looks like comes at the best time :)sted
- "0 concept about wireframes." huh?grafician
