    Do you think designing a website in Photoshop has now become a waste of time? 0:01
    Should we start designing directly in the browser? 0:05
    Now, I was actually thinking about this because a lot of times you want to present 0:11
    a markup to a client and you can do that in an App like balsamic markups 0:14
    where you actually have the squiggly lines that tell the person that's looking at it-- 0:19
    this is just a markup, it's not actually something that's real. 0:25
    But the squiggly lines that they have in balsamic markups are important-- 0:30
    they communicate that it is a markup. 0:33
    I thought it might be cool to actually put together like a small little CSS file 0:36
    or CSS markup framework basically that would allow you to throw down 0:41
    a border image or something like that, that actually has those squiggly lines in it 0:49
    and then you can design in the browser with the idea in mind 0:55
    that it is just going to be a markup. 1:02
    It's always risky showing client something that you've been working on 1:04
    and not necessarily something that's completely done. 1:08
    Right. >>Because they want to make those changes like extreme 1:11
    and it's not necessarily representational of like your best work. 1:16
    So, that's why I like wireframing stuff up beforehand. 1:22
