April 10, 2016 — Qui ne s’est jamais retrouvé devant une maquette graphique qui proposait certains composants plutôt difficiles à réaliser avec WordPress, notamment à cause d’une « limitation technique » ? (quelle soit liée à l’outil ou aux connaissances du développeur)

La connaissance technique d’un outil permet au développeur comme au designer de proposer des maquettes graphiques proches du rendu final. C’est une expérience de projet qui permet d’éviter les frustrations aussi bien auprès du client qu’au sein même d’une équipe.

Pour optimiser ces connaissances, il est important d’utiliser les bons outils afin que designers et développeurs échangent et interagissent sans limites (ou presque) pendant la réalisation des maquettes, mais également en phase de recette interne, après le développement.

Nous essayerons en 20 minutes d’apporter notre expérience en agence Web (Alsacréations) mais également au sein d’une startup qui développe des produits de service (WP Media) tout en proposant des outils adaptés.
