Why in5

If you're like many designers we know, you're able to produce some fantastic designs using InDesign.

But now clients are asking for digital magazines, mobile apps, ebooks, and web banners.

Unfortunately, there hasn't been an easy way to translate your designs into web and mobile experiences—unless you want to learn to code.

Now you can use in5 to export your InDesign layout with rich interactivity—and no coding!

'I’m not sure you know what this means, or how completely excited I am. Game changer.'

- Julie Archibald, Sr. Manager of Presentation Design & Data Vis at Avid
