Phase 5: Mockup Creation

[dami-boy]

Overview:

This stage applies Web Dev Path’s brand identity to the wireframes, creating visually polished hero mockups. These mockups will display the toggle in full design detail and serve as a reference point for development.

Objectives:

• Translate wireframes into branded designs (colour, typography, visuals).
• Create a hero that communicates trust and clarity.
• Ensure accessibility and visual hierarchy.
• Define interaction states for toggle and CTAs.

Deliverable:

• Mockups of the redesigned homepage hero section, aligned with the brand and style guidelines as well as the approved wireframe structure (including typography, color, UI style, spacing, etc.).

Acceptance Criteria:

• Phase 4: Copywriting Review must be completed before proceeding with this task (Phase 5).
• Must include annotations explaining design intent and accessibility considerations not visually represented (e.g., keyboard focus states, ARIA roles).
• Must include the responsive versions of the design (desktop, tablet, and mobile).
• Messaging must be visually reinforced through appropriate imagery, icons, illustrations, or other stylistic elements.
• Must be dev-handoff ready (e.g., components, spacing, and styles are clearly defined and can easily be inspected).
• Must be presentable and easily shareable within the team.
• Must be presented to and reviewed by the team for feedback.
• Must receive approval before moving to the next phase.

Next Step:

Build the interactive prototype (Phase 6) using the approved mockups.
