Using PDF to create interactive prototypes

End-users are the ultimate arbiters of a site or application's success. No matter how skillful or gifted the design and development team, neglecting user perspectives puts our projects in great peril.

Instead, through extensive analysis, usability testing and personas, I seek to understand user needs and goals in such a way that I can advocate for them.

While there's ample opportunity to do so early in a project, I've often observed that once wireframing begins, it's off to the races! In the rush to launch, we sometimes forget end-users. Is there a way to ensure that they get a voice during this always-hectic phase?

There is. Site prototypes are the answer.
