UX prototype

What is a UX prototype?

A clickable UX prototype is an interactive version of a product mockup that allows you to show its functionalities and the user’s navigation flow in practice. It is a high-fidelity prototype of a product, but with no backend. A visual design allows you to see how a given functionality works in the context of the entire product. You can then decide whether it makes sense to send it to developers for coding. The UX prototype can be treated as a standalone project, e.g. to prove that your innovative idea for a new product really works and is worth investing in. It can also be a step in the overall development process of a Minimum Viable Product, e.g. to iron out potential wrinkles and ensure the product sent for coding is exactly what your future users expect.

User experience is one of the most important aspects of product development. The main objective is to create a clear environment for users so they can easily navigate through your product. Every successful app, management system, software, platform, or website has to be accessible to the target end user. Designing such an experience requires not only a great idea but also great presentation; to be able to communicate well with your clients and to channel your ideas into something tangible. Designing a UX prototype, of course, being only the first phase of the whole process; later on you have to seek feedback in order to implement upgrades and fixes.

Every business is looking for new products to increase competitiveness and market share and meet the market’s most pressing needs. Companies want to create novel customer experiences, boost business growth, and launch new business initiatives.

If you build software, for sure you know that you need to pass through several stages before launching the final product. Choosing the right development technique is one of the most important decisions to make, and the way you validate your business idea is another. Product validation sets your software up for success by challenging assumptions, revealing market demand, and defining explicit direction for product growth. IT businesses commonly use a prototype and a minimum viable product to verify whether their business concept will be embraced by target users and stakeholders.
