Zeplin is a versatile tool that facilitates collaboration between designers and developers, streamlining the design handoff process and minimizing miscommunication. With Zeplin, designers can import screens from software like Photoshop or SketchUp, attach assets, and create convenient diagrams. This enables them to set a high bar for implementing designs and saves time on back-and-forth communication. For developers, Zeplin offers the ability to better understand layouts and be more assertive by providing ways to export assets and CSS code. It captures CSS styles and optimizes their work, making it practical for prototypes and the layout of web applications. Additionally, Zeplin allows for easy sharing of design specs with clients and provides a succinct set of features for viewing, sharing, downloading, and discussing design assets. It acts as a bridge between design and development teams by reducing the communication gap and enabling feedback from stakeholders through shared boards. Its user-friendly interface makes it easy for engineers and designers to share, discuss, and question designs, ultimately saving time, headache, and mistakes due to miscommunication. Overall, Zeplin is widely used by digital product teams, UX designers, and other departments to collaborate effectively on projects.

We use Zeplin between two departments ( content and tech ). For the tech team to show off their best work, we need to know what the desired results are to be displayed. With Zeplin, the tech team can collaborate with the content team via notes directly on the mock-up. This is ideal for questions and answers that will not get lost in the shuffle, but rather are pinned directly where the question stems from ( point on the design ). This allows for very minimal miscommunication.
  • Allows note to be dropped and pinned directly on the design where the question stems from
  • Removes questions about exact styles with the CSS box
  • Loads extremely fast with the Windows App on a PC
  • Encourages collaboration between team members and departments
  • In the UI, the menu is a bit misleading by not showing all the pages available within a single project
  • Offline notifications are missing ( a must when the app is closed )
Zeplin is well suited for web developers to understand what the marketing team is desiring. For me, Zeplin is the desired resulting display from the code that I am writing. Zeplin takes the guessing of styles, guessing of size scale, out of the equation. Zeplin would be less appropriate to use if I were a beginner web developer, as it does not include any actual code ( other than styles ) in the project.
  • Because Time is Money: Zeplin takes the time to 'guess' what the marketing team wants, out of the equation, causing greater efficiency within the Tech Department
Zeplin is not a fully functional prototyping software system, but having the ability to add notes to help explain what actions are expected allows me to rate it high.
Zeplin has been extremely well timed with updates and support tickets being answered. I have waited no longer than 3 hours in the worst case scenario. Plus, out of the years of use, I have only needed to contact support once!
Zeplin has and easier on the eyes UI, not a cumbersome constructors of projects and easier collaboration.
