Smart collaboration with Protoshare
I recently came across a pretty amazing online app that did not make my Top 10 list but nontheless may very well make the next Top 10. In a nutshell, Protoshare is a web-based wireframe application with a dash of collaboration. We’ve quickly adopted it to become our goto when it comes to site planning and organization.
The collaboration feature of Protoshare make this application worth the money. Protoshare easily outclasses their competition with notation tools and the ability to export to HTML so you can actually “click” through the rough draft of a website. With packages starting at $29/mo, the value Protoshare brings far outweights its cost.

Hi Brian, thanks for the shoutout of ProtoShare! I’m glad your team has seen the benefits of collaborative prototyping.
Just a clarification for those unfamiliar with ProtoShare: at this time you cannot export your prototype as HTML, but as you build the prototype, it becomes interactive for people to review it as a real website experience. You can export all the screenshots and specifications into a Word doc, or use a third party tool, like DeepVacuum, if you do need to export it as HTML.
Be sure to contact me if you have any questions or suggestions. Good luck with your projects!

Thanks for the feedback Andrea. The functionality that I speak of and perhaps worded incorrectly was the ability to view the interactive version as HTML (renderable in your browser). This is one of the many features that makes Protoshare so valuable to us. We can get a “live” version of the prototype that is clickable and will take you through the skeleton of the site.
