Sketch beta development is now dominating life for the product team here at Webstruxure. The Sketch beta plans we started on several months ago are now being turned into actual software by our developers. Aaron, the Sketch team leader, is juggling a multitude of priorities as he keeps the project on track. And I have recently finished getting in touch with as many of New Zealand’s 750 or so web design companies as I could to explain Sketch to them and ask them whether they would like to take part in the Sketch beta development process.
The response has been excellent. Over 10% of those companies have said that they would like to take part in the beta development process, and about another 10% have said that, although they don’t want to take part in the beta, they would like to be kept informed about Sketch.
We have received many extremely valuable comments about the features that designers would like to see in Sketch, and while many of these suggestions won’t be incorporated in the beta, we have taken careful note of them for future releases. And we’ve also got a lot of good feedback about how web design companies are likely to use Sketch, and where they look for information about such tools.
Because of this focus on Sketch, we are going to discontinue this general Webstruxure blog and replace it with a blog devoted specifically to the Sketch beta development process. Here you’ll be able to see detailed feedback on the progress of the Sketch beta. We hope you’ll look out for the launch of this new blog (which will be linked from this page), and follow us as we take the next steps on the journey to the full release of Sketch.
