I signed up and was surprised to learn that all the mockups would need to be created in an outside program. I guess that serves a purpose too, to be able to create a clickable thing to show your colleagues, but it wasn't immediately clear to me that an actual mockupping tool isn't included.
This looks very slick.<p>I think you might be leaving some money on the table in terms of the pricing, though-- I imagine that heavy users would be willing to pay more than $19/month for the "Unlimited" plan.
It looks great alot seems to be in place and it's obviously well thought out. The two things I would consider is maybe re-wording the header, I think the objective of that was to fill up the empty space with bigger words, and then have the smaller text as a description. It seems most of the big text is just fluff I think you so reword it to include a quick pitch of what it can do via iphone/website/logo mockup-wise.<p>Furthermore maybe the process to go signup could be one click faster if here was a signup button on the home page.. instead of a "login button/ see pricing plans button" I mean the pricing plan button works as a sign up it just doesn't say so.. maybe that is just me I clicked the login button at the top right since usually the login/signup is at the top right.<p>Good luck with this project!
Great website - very simple + nice interface which is huge for a website like this. I especially like the contributor's functionality where you can send out the mockups for feedback. In the past, where I've been on teams that had to send out jpgs of the designs plus maybe a surveymonkey survey, your website puts it all together for the necessary feedback people need.<p>Even better is the create a "clickable" website part. I didn't really see that until I made an account (though I just looked back and saw it on the homepage). I think it's really important to have this functionality. I used to copy jpgs into powerpoint to try to simulate this somewhat.<p>I agree with the comments about pricing above perhaps being a bit low. When I saw this "Compare" page: <a href="http://mocksup.com/compare" rel="nofollow">http://mocksup.com/compare</a>, it's obvious that Mocksup has a lot more features, but is lot cheaper than the other services (none of which I had heard of). I guess on the one hand low pricing is good, but it's almost too low because it made me think, why would these others be able to price so much higher? That almost made me want to go to the other sites and compare, when I probably would have just signed up with yours right away (I didn't though as I was really impressed with Mocksup). Great stuff over all. I'm a new user.
I like the concept. it's not clear that you have to use an offline editor though, I first thought you could do the mockup work in my browser. maybe I missed this, but can you add notes to the mockups you put online, for example to guide a user through the design? I noticed an "Add note" feature in the screenshot of the editor, but it's not clear if those get copied to the online shared version.
Not only do you not support 1024 wide, you do it with backgrounds on your "how it works" page, so I can't even scroll sideways if I want to. Note: I'm a design/product guy currently on a netbook (i.e. I'm your target market).<p>RescueTime, the company I just stepped down from, has about 8% of its users visiting with 1024 screens. This percentage WAS trending down but has flattened (Netbooks? iPads?).
Nice site and interesting app. It seems like more of a mockup organization system than a tool for creating mockups (like Balsamiq or Mockingbird), which was my initial thought looking at the name. Perhaps you can interface with them somehow?<p>I'm not big on the product name though as my first thought was "oh cool mockups" which then turned to "oh wait it's a typo / misspelling of mockups". It's further confusing because you spell "mockups" correctly throughout your site. You also run the risk of a competitor buying mockups.com and building their own mockup software (logical development option).<p>You've put together a great tool and well designed site, don't sell it short with a typo'ed product name.
Great site. I just use email to send mockups 99% of the time, and sometimes I have them printed in hi-res. Good luck though! I'm sure there are plenty of people looking for something like this.
Nice. Another awesome RailsRumble project being fleshed out and productized.<p>Best of luck Adam! I'll definitely be using this tool to link together photoshop comps to demo clients.
The site looks fantastic, great work. Have you looked into sketchflow? It's kinda/sorta a competitor, and kinda/sorta something you could incorporate into your site. I could see a demand for a nice, easy, secure place to host sketchflow mockups. All they require is an html page and a silverlight xap bundle. (sketchflow is bloody fantastic btw, I think it's going to make some serious inroads into how people make mock ups)
Love the design and the idea seems solid but my first priority would be to put up a video explaining how it works..<p>The pictures, while well designed and thought out seem a little laborious to click through..<p>My attention span on the web is really short and I'm feeling lazy just now so about the only thing that I'd consider doing to learn about a new product/service like the one you're offering is to watch a video about it.
One improvement you could consider;-<p>1. there isn't a inbuilt mockup tool. you could provide some default templates for different browsers, iphone, android, etc. that will really help us developer get straight into mock up.<p>I like the simple, straightforward approach in the web app, just let me focus on the mockup with its versioning & sharing features. Nice!
Tell you what I've always wanted.. You know the awesome Skype screen sharing function? Imagine everyone in on the call being able to draw and write on top of the live screenshare.<p>It'd be a great way to annotate/draw on top of designs live, while simultaneously talking about them with remote participants
In IE7 I get a 406 error when trying to view the examples: This error (HTTP 406 Not Acceptable) means that Internet Explorer was able to receive information from the website you visited, but the information was not in a format that Internet Explorer can display.
An odd comment perhaps, but I initially thought the drop-down selection box was broken and it took me a few seconds to realise that (unlike every other drop-down) the top element stayed selected.
Perhaps contributors should be able to submit their mockups, that way people can discuss the different ones from different people. Otherwise, I wouldn't call them contributors, perhaps observers.
Really cool project and a great design! I would limit the free version a little more though (just 5 mockups, no iPhone support) to make the premium features more compelling!
Allowing such easy changing of the homepage is a great idea - it helps contextualise what the app does into something that might be useful to a user really fast. Good luck!
Something wrong with the font size/line height here. Browser is epiphany 2.30.2 using webkit 1.2.1.<p><a href="http://i.imgur.com/rK3gD.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/rK3gD.png</a>
