Un prototype est un modèle préliminaire. Lorsqu'un projet a pour but la fabrication d'un produit physique, le créateur doit présenter un prototype fonctionnel à ses contributeurs. Cette galerie de photos, de vidéos et d'éléments visuels montre aux contributeurs ce qui a été accompli et ce qu'il reste à faire. Le processus de développement est susceptible de varier d'un projet à l'autre, mais les étapes typiques sont les suivantes :
Validation de concept
Une étude visant à tester l'idée et les fonctionnalités du produit.
Prototype fonctionnel
Un prototype qui présente le fonctionnement du produit final, mais qui n'en a pas l'aspect.
Prototype d'apparence
Une maquette qui ressemble au produit final, mais qui ne fonctionne pas.
Prototype de design
Un prototype dont l'apparence et les fonctionnalités correspondent au produit final, mais dont les méthodes de fabrication sont différentes.
Prototype de production
L'apparence, les fonctionnalités et les méthodes de fabrication sont celles du produit final.

Ces photos et vidéos offrent un aperçu détaillé de l'avancée du projet.
We love to get interactive with our backers and this is why we will post updates on regular base, also, feel free to get in touch with us steve@rocketway.net or Skype: stevevdijk1
How many problems have you previously had to manage and overcome while developing your e-mail campaign? Far more than you would like no doubt!
Building a professional campaign that looks great, and appeals to a wide range of clients, can be a serious challenge even for experienced developers. With today’s variety of software tools that are available to read e-mails, from desktop software to phone and tablet apps with all their individual types of renders, rich html e-mail coding can involve serious testing cycles to make it look good to every recipient. Your campaign can easily turn into one big disaster if you do not have enough html experience and the proper testing tools available. You can easily become frustrated and lose valuable time all for an end product that failed to achieve the quality that it deserved. Make these days history by powering your e-mail development workflow with RocketWay Elements!
What is Elements?
Elements is the bridge between a raw graphic design and the actual coded (responsive) html e-mail campaign. Whether you are an experienced email designer and developer, or the individual in your organisation that oversees the company’s weekly newsletter, with Elements you are guaranteed to be able to convert your design into a bulletproof (60+ clients compatible) e-mail in a matter of minutes!
Create and recreate unlimited structures as you please with Elements easy to use features, enabling you to quite simply drag the desired content into each cell. When you are satisfied with your layout, you can switch back to Elements’ Dashboard to save, share and export your work. Organise your campaigns on a customer level in an easy yet effective way and use our MailHook (one click transfer) to your favourite E-mail Service Provider (ESP) ready to send out whenever you need.
Why are we developing Elements?
We saw demand go through the roof when we first launched our initial e-mail template to the market. With every day that passed, and with every new product we released, we became a stronger brand with very satisfied happy customers trusting in us and our products time and time again.
We developed a basic lightweight solution that made it possible for all customers, even those without any coding skills, to make small customizations that made a big difference. Including our ‘free builder access’ to each product was highly appreciated by our customers. With over 13,000 sales, and years of experience with support requests, we knew exactly what our customers wanted next and what our next priorities should be. Whilst our free lightweight builder was widely used by all, our customers were developing as quickly as we were, and with growing experience and capabilities they were becoming frustrated by the limitations that the free builder imposed. We decided to invest in an all-in-one solution to make our customers lives easier, and their businesses more effective.
This is because Elements enables users to design and edit their campaign visually; it codes itself rather than requiring the designer to script the html coding. You cannot buy time, but you can definitely save it when using Elements!
Features, Updates and Release
This project is our passion and our full time job (well, not really full time, a lot of extra night work is involved), this means Elements costs a lot of private money and we earn Zero. But we will be pushing to keep this project alive and Elements must be improved with ongoing updates and groundbreaking new features. But at this point it's crucial that we are able fund our project and work to the initial release and be able to release the beta. As you can see below the initial Elements release includes a select variety of features, in the next stages we will add feature updates that users will find invaluable.
Features that will be available together with the initial release:

We are a team of 2 with our own expertises, we don't have any other projects running, this means 100% time investment in Elements. With Steve van Dijk for all UI/UX and overall Design and Kanzari Haithem for Development. (Steve started to draw his first sketches on his Commodore 64, where his passion for design was born and Kanzari started coding at the age of 9, we can call him a real code guru). We are fully independent, meaning that this project doesn't need approval from a company or agency, we are fully in charge.
Risques et défis
We are extremely satisfied that the great majority of the work to the initial release is already done. This project has our top priority and our goal is to shake the email industry with this awesome tool.
No project is without risk and challenges but we have the proper knowledge and experience to tackle issues when these may occur. ie. hosting/server issues, post beta bugs, export issues, etc. We developed this entire application from scratch so we know the ins and outs and where to find and fix issues.
We will keep our backers updated on the status of this project as it develops with full transparency. We will be truly grateful for any support in any form and we can’t wait to launch the beta!
We believe that the smallest things in life are very important and sometimes these things can make a big difference. If you are willing support us and our project you will be forever loved and we will credit you in our blogpost about this kickstarter project!
