When designers need to collaborate with other teams, they can currently turn to products like InVision<\/a> and Zeplin<\/a>. But Ceros<\/a> creative director Jack Dixon said there\u2019s a \u201cpretty interesting gap in the market\u201d \u2014 once you move beyond prototypes and start working with websites that are either live or in staging, the process starts to become fragmented, relying on screenshots and email\/phone\/Google Docs.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why the company (which focuses on powering interactive content \u201cexperiences\u201d<\/a>) is launching a new product called MarkUp<\/a>. The product was created by a team led by Greg DiNardo and Alex Bullington, who joined Ceros last August through the acquisition<\/a> of their polling and market research startup Arbit.<\/p>\n

Dixon, DiNardo and Bullington gave me a quick demo, showing off how users can mark areas of interest on a website, leave comments and tasks, then mark revisions as completed.<\/p>\n

It all looked pretty simple and straightforward, but DiNardo suggested that it\u2019s a real technical challenge \u2014 even more than he and Bullington had expected \u2014 to provide those kinds of features on top of a live site.<\/p>\n

He added that the product\u2019s simplicity was very much by design: \u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019re going to add a million features \u2026 The goal is honestly simplicity, something that graphic designers can kind of live in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eventually, MarkUp could be used not just to solicit design feedback across teams, but also from the public at-large.<\/p>\n

Ceros <\/a> says MarkUp is free to everyone and will function separately from the core Ceros Studio platform. In fact, it\u2019s already being used by designers at the Huffington Post, Cushman Wakefield and Informa.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs of today we want to remove any friction or barrier to entry, so it\u2019s 100 percent free to [everyone],\u201d Dixon said. \u201cGetting the \u00a0involvement of the broadest community and user base is going to be critical for this.\u00a0What we\u2019re learning is that some of the enterprise clients might pay for bigger, more grown-up features [like white labeling]. We can figure out how to monetize later.\u201d<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> An earlier version of this post incorrectly stated that MarkUp would only be free to Ceros customers.<\/p>\n
