The best way to see how users will interact with your product is to turn your mockups into a prototype. During this phase, It will become more obvious if the flow of your pages don't make sense.
In this post, we’re going to define “prototype,” explain different variations and how to make them, and most importantly, dive into the ways they keep your UX design focused on users.
Prototypes typically created with a mixture of sketches, wireframes or mockups, prototypes depending on the project timelines and these are representations of the design.
Building a prototype is not enough; we have to understand the process involved with constructing a product’s initial drafts. This article will go in depth on everything a designer needs to know, and do, to accomplish that.
Discover the best prototyping tools to upgrade your workflow and give your prototypes an edge.
In this post, we’ll run through how prototyping helps the user experience as well as the common methodologies that people use to create great user experiences.
