			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most important parts of designing a website is clearly communicating your ideas for the site layout. Often you have an idea of how you want it to look but you don&#8217;t have the software or design skills to build a decent mockup and sometimes you just need to see your idea before you can tell if it&#8217;s a good one or not.</p>
<p>You may sketch something out, send links to other sites you like and don&#8217;t like or send emails trying to describe your vision. Well there is a much better way!</p>
<p>A wireframe is essentially a blueprint of what your site will look like. And now <a href="http://gomockingbird.com/" target="_blank">Mockingbird</a> has developed a very easy to use web based tool for creating and sharing your wireframes.  Simply drag and drop the different site elements you need (maps, videos, text, toolbars, buttons, and more!)</p>
<p><strong>Here is a screenshot showing a wireframe mockup that we made in about 2-minutes!</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://gomockingbird.com/" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-770" title="Picture 1 copy" src="http://www.modassicmarketing.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Picture-1-copy.png" alt="" width="600" height="430" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li>No web design knowledge needed!</li>
<li>No software to download, work in your browser!</li>
<li>All the user interface elements and web apps you need!</li>
<li>Create multiple pages and links!</li>
<li>Easy to share with your designer or colleagues</li>
<li>It&#8217;s FREE!</li>
</ul>
<p>When developing a  <a href="http://www.modassicmarketing.com/design-web-design.html">website design</a> for our clients, we spend a lot of time on the creative brief and ensuring we develop a site that meets and exceeds our clients vision and expectations. If you have a design or layout in mind, this is the perfect tool to develop and share those thoughts. <a href="http://gomockingbird.com/" target="_blank">Try it now.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We design and layout this 32-page full color catalog for our client, Spray-N-Grow. When you print over 400,000 catalogs 3-times a year, you want to make sure you get everything right. To make sure we get it just right, we perform a detailed square-inch analysis on the catalog. At MODassic we believe in the balance of design and analytic. Therefore, we don&#8217;t just design a great looking catalog and call it a day. We carefully compare each product&#8217;s total sales to the amount of space it is allocated in the catalog. This tedious process provides valuable insight into the adjustments that need to be made.</p>
