[MCN-L] Rapid Prototyping System

[Beck Tench]

We use Bootstrap for darn near everything.  We generally go from Balsamiq
sketchy frames to Bootstrap to UX to design.  It's especially nice because
that basic look has become an expected aesthetic before things get fancy.
 We don't call it rapid prototyping, though. It's just our process.
Institutional buy-in isn't a problem here, but if it were, I'd be making
the argument that this is just the way the web is built these days.

Wondering if anyone is using something like Twitter Bootstrap to do rapid
prototyping? How are you using it?

I ask because we are attempting to build our own version here at NYPL and
are receiving a little push-back from above. If you do rapid prototyping,
how did you get institutional buy-in?

Thanks in advance!
