Prototyping allows you to explore your ideas or solutions early in the design process before a single line of code is written. The tangibility that a prototype provides allows you to gain valuable insights when put in front of actual users.
Prototypes can be created quickly to flesh out an idea, or they can be more thoughtfully made to simulate an experience. The most common prototype that we produce for our clients are clickable prototypes that simulate a vision for a website, tool, or app. We usually focus on the ‘critical path’ which includes 80% of the primary workflow for your users. This typically is enough to communicate the vision and take into usability testing.
Prototyping and usability testing go hand-in-hand. A prototype design can be iterated on quickly and retested to gain new insights. The outcome of usability testing will give you the confidence to make informed decisions about your digital experience. Additionally, prototypes make for valuable outputs that can be shared within your organization – helping to demonstrate a vision more clearly and provide tangibility to stakeholders to achieve buy-in.
At UpTop, prototyping is a key component of our design process. We can evaluate your project to determine if a prototype would be a good solution, and what features and functionality it might include to have the highest impact.
