Splash Page Revisited

Brought to you by Mister Machine

Created by Michael Enslow / @menslow

It's 2011

Our client sees an example of CSS3 animation...

We gotta have this on our home page!

Demo

We did all we could

We warned them.

We showed them examples.

We said it would cost a lot!

We built it anyway

And it took a long time.

And it cost a lot.

It also...

Performed terribly It wasn't mobile compatible Ditched within the month

We were angry

We told you this was going to happen! Why did you make us do it‽ Clients suck!!

We were sad

Is this our destiny? Do we suck?

Pull yer head out

There's a pattern

People love fancy stuff We love fancy stuff... our judgement gets clouded Fancy stuff become complex when we try to build in the application framework

A Lean Model

Low-res Prototype User Feedback Medium-res Prototype User Feedback High-res Prototype (or application integration) User Feedback
