Kudos to the designer for making it look awesome. And clients/customers will always love to see something that can deliver immediate gratification asap. However, the real danger lies in that it leaves the client/customers with the impression that it is very close to being done when the reality is that what can take hours/days for a designer to mock up, it can take a developer weeks/months to actually code it up. Polished UI's very early in the development phase I find really sets the bar high for disappointment. The seriousness I'm trying to make really depends on the type of product/service a company is delivering. I am more of a fan of establishing function before form. Ted Patrick's posts really enforces this point... http://www.onflex.org/ted/2007/11/managing-ui-development-expectations.php (...although a designer could always refute that the time it takes to code is "Not My Problem") From the perspective of the developer, I find this type of message that “Rapid UI Design is great” to be incredibly dangerous.

Polished UI’s very early in the development phase I find really sets the bar high for disappointment. The seriousness I’m trying to make really depends on the type of product/service a company is delivering.

I am more of a fan of establishing function before form. Ted Patrick’s posts really enforces this point…
