Interactive Prototypes
Seeing is believing. Show, don’t tell.
Interactive prototypes can create a reason for people to believe in your vision and get excited. By simulating what the product will be like you can untangle tricky spots, gain buy-in, secure investment, and arrive at shared understanding.
A rapid design prototype is a clickable or tappable simulation of a user experience, limited in its functionality but powerful in its ability to communicate digital concepts inexpensively.
Why prototype your user interface?
There are many reasons to create a rapid prototype, but the main reasons are to reduce costs and improve quality. Here are three key ways clients use rapid prototypes.
Elicit User Feedback
Let users tell you if your idea works, or if you're building the right thing at all. Early feedback checks your concept with real customers, and hedges against painful misses — before you invest big money in building it out.
Present simple mockups to aid moderated interviews, or offer clickable mockups that drive natural user behavior. Share your scenario, and we'll help you determine the right approach.
Proof-of-Concept Prototypes
Build your case by painting a picture. Show stakeholders, prospects, or investors exactly what they're getting in full color and motion.
Realistic mockups and interactions make your vision feel real — provoking the conversation and excitement to get all interests aligned.
Clarity for Development
Ensure your vision goes from design to deployment intact, with the level of sophistication you intend. Prototypes set the level of quality for your developers, conveying the refinement users expect.
Supplement written architecture specs with interactive mockups, so UX gets the same attention as your tech stack.

More about our rapid UI prototyping
-
Before prototyping, we’ll often align on use cases or a click path for the prototype. In the case of user interviews or usability testing, the plan is often informed by the study protocol.
Once we’ve prototyped an experience, we’ll often meet to review how the prototype functions.
-
After the design review session and iterations, we’ll typically deliver:
High fidelity wireframes of key screens with annotations, created in Figma
Meeting notes
Recordings of all meetings & sessions
