The things that I have been missing greatly in my UI mockup workflow are:
• Pixel perfect using Photoshop (usually after I have walkthrough concepts using Balsamiq)
• Creating reusable assets with various style states (such as menu items selected/not selected)
• Taking a design element, such as a table of data, and adapting it effortlessly to other data types (such as different columns)
• I'm using Photoshop CS2 and it's layer management can get out of control with some complex designs
• A closer relationship to CSS styling (borders, rounded corners, gradients, shadows, etc - in particular doing it on just some edges) - I tried the demo of CS6 to see if there were changes in this area (layer effects) - and nope, nothing. Very disappointing.
I think there is a lot of innovation to be had in this area of UI design. However there may be a lot of basics that needs to be covered first before getting to the UI specific feature set.
First impressions with the site...
1. The carousel animation is confusion on the screenshots. I keep pressing right but it toggles from left and right animations.
2. You need a CTA to register interest. You have attention now but no way for capture those who are interested. A wasted opportunity.
3. The screenshot could show a more complex design to make viewers know it can do what they are used to working with.
4. The name Enterface makes me think of entering people's faces.

Would love to see this concept developed further.
