Challenge Overview
Welcome to the "IBM - Discount Mobile Apps HTML Prototype Challenge". The goal of this challenge is to create mobile HTML5 Prototype application based on provided storyboards for client. The prototype must follow best practices for HTML application so we can easily develop the prototype as hybrid application both in android and iphone in the next phase. Please see more details below.
The main task of this project is to create the UI Prototype based on the provided Storyboard design by re-use existing best practices look and feel also the functions of HTML5 mobile.
This UI Prototype will use Responsive Design solution that will works within Mobile Platform. You must use mobile web HTML5 best practices so it will looks good in targetted device. Read more details for UI Prototype Requirements and Flow below.
