A short week here at SUMO HQ. Seems like everyone else is a half-step behind due to the 3-day weekend. It’s hard to believe it’s the beginning of June (although the weather in Philly leads you to believe it’s August). The first half of the year is over, and Summer just flies by, so I fully expect to see the Halloween merchandise out at Target next week…

Visual designers rejoice: Now there’s a way to design working web app prototypes that aren’t your usual stiff, scribbly, black and white, low-fidelity layouts with the same-old same-old UI gadgets.

InVision allows you to express yourself – go as a low- or high-fidelity as needed – using the design tools you’re already comfortable with. Create your designs as you like, then connect them using InVision, without any code.

On this very special edition of the Friday Five, we’re celebrating our first year in business as SUMO Heavy Industries. Just think, only a year ago we were working out of the back of a coffee shop and now today we’re an international conglomerate with 26 worldwide offices and a staff of over 1,500. (Ok, I made that last part up, but it’s been quite a ride this last year.) We’ve had some ups and downs, we’ve learned a whole lot along the way and we’re excited about the future of our business and our industry.
