How do you show layouts to the client?

Question

Layouts and prototypes

Interested in how the community shows mockups to clients? What are the ways? I'm using a local server, and I show layouts exclusively in html files, where the image (png) is displayed in the background. I used to show just files, but clients don't understand that.

The only valid way to show layouts.
You can place links and actually assemble a clickable prototype.
At the same time, it allows you to immediately find the jambs of the level "link leading to the page that you forgot to draw"

Answer 2

Yes, I do exactly the same.
Otherwise - the most annoying problem for me - the customer stubbornly looks at png layouts in a reduced form (fit fo screen) and on this basis a lot of unnecessary questions arise. Although, it would seem that it could be simpler and more logical - to expand the png by 100%. It seems that the student should guess. An, no.

Answer 3

I present projects in the form in which they later appear in my portfolio (example zlatova.com/jobs/m200 ).
The main task is to show the course of my thoughts and the stage-by-stage implementation of the task. And of course, the final result.

I recently tried marvelapp.com , everything is very cool, I can’t even believe it, I’m still waiting for a catch))). Convenience, speed at a very high level. And most importantly, it's free. For large loaded projects, I use invision for now. But showing several jpg on marvel is very convenient (there are options for centering the image, resizing, mobile devices and many more features).

Answer 5

correctly shows, for clarity. if for protection, then the cunning through ctrl + u will still pull the background out of the style or the picture from the img tag. For protection, you need to write javascript. yes, yes, and there are such smart people who just steal and say "ho * but" and try to cut from a single layer themselves. most likely they won’t be able to make a mile, but they won’t pay for the spent time either.

I don't give a damn about it at all. Wrote a mini-script that does about the same as yours. Sometimes I just throw a jepeg if the customer is in the subject, for example. Sometimes, when I know what I need, I use various mockups to show how the site looks on the screen of a macbook, for example. It seems to me that this is a question of how it is more convenient for the customer and how it is more pleasant for him)
