Overall Satisfaction with Marvel

I use this to mock up web and mobile websites for my freelance clients. It allows them a sense of how their website will look on different platforms, and gives the design a greater sense of realness as they can interact with the mockup on a range of devices, rather than simply viewing a series of image files on their desktop screen.
  • Though I do not work with other designers often, when I do Marvel makes it easy to collaborate on a project and for each individual to make changes of the product and to make note of those changes for the other designers
  • Gives you design specs, making it easier to create a style guide for developers
  • A wider range of interactions than other apps such as InVision
  • Easy integration with Sketch
  • Would never hurt to have a greater range of micro-interactions!
  • A greater range of project frames/devices
  • I would like to see an easier way to demonstrate responsiveness to clients, rather than having to have separate mockup files
  • Clients will always prefer seeing actual mockups to flat screens, and Marvel is a very affordable way to provide that.
Marvel has replaces InVision for me in terms of quick prototyping for high-fidelity mockups. There is a greater variety of interactions, especially between screens, and overall it seems to just have a sleeker feels. I still use Principle over Marvel for more detailed prototypes. It has a range of microinteractions that Marvel lacks, though I find myself still using Marvel more.
Marvel has quickly become my go-to for quick prototyping. It is very straightforward with a simple learning curve, it is easy to make adjustments to screens and interactions, and it is easy to send designs to clients. I still use other apps for more detailed prototypes, especially those with a large range of micro-interactions, but this is great for simple sites for clients like small businesses or personal portfolios.
