So. Much. Pain points.
Why hasn't this been fixed?
Real-Time tools don't exist yet for the web design industry
Graphic Design -> Photoshop / Illustrator
Filmmaking -> Final Cut Pro / After Effects
Front-end design -> Dreamweaver?
WYSIWYG != WYSIWYG

- Negative Space
- Content Hierarchy

- Color Theory
- Imagery
Developer
- Page Speed
- Code Optimization

VS

Happy Bridge (SDJS)
Creating happiness on that bridge between Web Designers and Web Developers. The old waterfall workflow to create a website from scratch has yet to evolve. The amount of pain points that a creative team must tackle has increased significantly due to the rise of mobile devices. In this talk, we’ll discuss these pain points, the root cause of them, and how we as a web design and development community can work together to fix it.
