Content First Prototyping
summary
Argues for starting prototypes with structured words rather than boxes and shows a working stack that turns an Excel spreadsheet into live pages via Jekyll + Foundation + BrowserSync + Gulp, converting rows to JSON/Markdown and HTML templates. Solves the “find and replace” pain of dozens of screens by auto-generating navigable content and updating everywhere from one source; a guided-selling prototype grows from 60 to 300 generated pages for testing and supports real-time collaborative edits on devices.
