Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Unclear Specifications

Reason: Lack of detailed design specs (e.g., missing measurements, unclear interactions, undefined states) leads to misinterpretations and rework.
Solution: Use Mockplus Cloud's annotation and specification features to meticulously document all design details.

2. Inconsistent File Formats

Reason: Developers struggle to integrate designs when assets are in various formats (e.g., PSD, Sketch, Figma) and lack a centralized location.
Solution: Export all design assets in a consistent, developer-friendly format (like SVGs) and manage them within Mockplus Cloud's project space.

3. Poor Communication & Collaboration

Reason: Lack of clear communication channels or version control leads to confusion, delays, and duplicated efforts.
Solution: Utilize Mockplus Cloud's collaborative features for seamless feedback, version history, and real-time updates to keep everyone informed.

FAQs

How does Mockplus Cloud improve my design handoff process compared to email or other file-sharing methods?
Mockplus Cloud streamlines handoff by centralizing all design assets and providing version control. Instead of sending multiple email attachments or dealing with file version confusion, you can share a single, up-to-date link with developers. This ensures everyone works from the same source, reducing miscommunications and errors.
Can developers access and use Mockplus Cloud even if they don't have a Mockplus Cloud account?
Yes, developers don't need a Mockplus Cloud account to access the design files. You can share designs with specific permissions, enabling them to view and download assets without needing to log in or create an account. This simplifies the process and eliminates the need for them to register on another platform.
