Oleg, this is intriguing and I have a few questions: 1. Do you see content being just labeled boxes or would they contain more rich UI controls? For example, in your movie service example on AuthorJet, would "Global Navigation" exist as just "Global Navigation"--or would someone be able to drop a tab control into it?
2. Do you see this as a replacement for wireframing or, perhaps, a tool used earlier in the design process. It seems to me that it would work better for the latter, where priority and rough placement is being established. That, however, might require that the result be more fully defined later as a traditional wireframe. One nice thing about your approach is that it seems to be pretty easy to implement in Dreamweaver or any html authoring tool. You could even leverage the Yahoo User Interface Library to provide some components. -Todd On Thu, 13 Mar 2008 08:11:42, John Gibbard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I'd like to hear your comments.
