ERGOSIGN Blog

We just kicked off the beta test of our prototyping tool ANTETYPE, which we announced at UPA2010 and first demonstrated at UXcampEurope 2010. 

We have many people signed up, who are already busy testing, but you can still join. So please register for the ANTETYPE-newsletter, we will then send you the download link and login details.

We are now eager to get as much feedback as possible to make ANTETYPE the best design and prototyping app around.

Go green ...

Work on our recently announced prototyping application ANTETYPE is progressing well and we are already using internal beta versions in ERGOSIGN projects. To sweeten the wait until ANTETYPE is released we release the ANTETYPE Color Picker - an Apple Color Picker Plugin for free.

When working with colors in a creative way, the HSB color system is often a much better choice than RGB, since it is modeled after human perception of color rather than technical representation. However, in implementation, RGB or Hex values are usually needed - switching between different color pickers works but still is quite a hassle. So we created a color picker that shows and allows editing of those color systems and representations within one view. Combined with a well-proven visual way of picking a color bast on HSB our color picker brings much-needed ease-of-use to the Apple system color picker.

For further information as well as the download and installation instructions visit the ANTETYPE Blog.

A new case study for SAGE Office Line has beed added to our references.

With the support of ERGOSIGN a new entry to this popular ERP-solution labelled "Control Center" was introduced with a high customizability and a push paradigm enabling users to work more effectively.

Schön einfach: Für die Plattform "NWB Mobile" erhielt der NWB Verlag den AKEP Award 2010 in der Kategorie "Business to Business". Mit diesem Preis zeichnet der "Arbeitskreis Elektronisches Publizieren" (AKEP) des Börsenvereins des Deutschen Buchhandels zukunftsweisende elektronische Entwicklungen in Verlagen und Dienstleistungsunternehmen der Buchbranche aus.

NWB Mobile ermöglicht Steuerberatern jederzeit, z.B. in der Mandantenberatung vor Ort, über ihr Smartphone auf die kompletten Datenbankinhalte des NWB Verlages zuzugreifen. ERGOSIGN unterstützte die Entwicklung dieser innovativen Lösung durch die Gestaltung einer besonders intuitiven Benutzeroberfläche, die von Grund auf für den mobilen Kontext konzipiert wurde. Die Cross Browser-Implementierung der Oberfläche als HTML/CSS-Code erlaubt die optimierte Darstellung auf verschiedensten mobilen Plattformen wie iPhone, Blackberry, Windows Mobile und Android ohne zusätzliche plattformspezifische Aufwände.

Let the games begin!

After a long time of designing and coding we now proudly present ANTETYPE, our brand new, ground-breaking design application that supports user interface designers at every step of their work. See how it works at www.antetype.com

Just in case you are visiting the annual conference of the Usability Professionals' Association over the next days make sure to stop at the ERGOSIGN booth. Located right in the foyer of the hotel "Bayerischer Hof" we have a machine running the latest build of ANTETYPE.

You can let our designers show you the various features or play with ANTETYPE on your own. But make sure to sign up to our Antetype-newsletter so we can let you know about future developments such as beta and final releases.

Looking forward to meet you!
