Phase 5: Mockup Creation #284
Description
Overview:
This stage applies Web Dev Path’s brand identity to the wireframes, creating visually polished hero mockups. These mockups will display the toggle in full design detail and serve as a reference point for development.
Objectives:
- Translate wireframes into branded designs (colour, typography, visuals).
- Create a hero that communicates trust and clarity.
- Ensure accessibility and visual hierarchy.
- Define interaction states for toggle and CTAs.
Deliverable:
- Mockups of the redesigned homepage hero section, aligned with the brand and style guidelines as well as the approved wireframe structure (including typography, color, UI style, spacing, etc.).
Acceptance Criteria:
- Phase 4: Copywriting Review must be completed before proceeding with this task (Phase 5).
- Must include annotations explaining design intent and accessibility considerations not visually represented (e.g., keyboard focus states, ARIA roles).
- Must include the responsive versions of the design (desktop, tablet, and mobile).
- Messaging must be visually reinforced through appropriate imagery, icons, illustrations, or other stylistic elements.
- Must be dev-handoff ready (e.g., components, spacing, and styles are clearly defined and can easily be inspected).
- Must be presentable and easily shareable within the team.
- Must be presented to and reviewed by the team for feedback.
- Must receive approval before moving to the next phase.
Next Step:
Build the interactive prototype (Phase 6) using the approved mockups.
