I work in design and regularly use "mockups". These are templates that let me see what my design will look like.

I know that "mockup" is widely accepted as a noun, but what is the correct verb from these options for a heading:

  1. Mockup Your Designs Using Our Mockups
  2. Mock-up Your Designs Using Our Mockups
  3. Mock-Up Your Designs Using Our Mockups (capitalized U)

    It's mock up. Two words. Otherwise, you find yourself saying I mockupped my design, which sounds horrendous.

    To continue Peter Shor's point, you could draw an analogy to (probably) more obviously incorrect forms like: I lookupped the word, the traffic buildupped behind the crash, cowboys roundupped the cattle, we setupped the presentation

    Hyphens are not pronounced, so it doesn't matter how you spell it
