Prototyping plays an indispensable part in UI/UX design. To evaluate whether a product or concept is effective and user-friendly, it is important to build a prototype – which eventually helps you save up on the design process and supports development. Before we talk about which prototyping tools are best suited for you and your business, let’s find out what exactly a prototyping tool is and how it adds value to a project.
A prototype is an early sample of any product that is created to test a concept or process. Simply put, prototyping tools allow designers to experience how their project will work once it gets completed. It helps to evaluate new products or concept designs to determine their usefulness in the real world. It is also a method of validating your design by guiding yourself through the product development phase with feedback collected from your target market.
Prototypes can be rapid or high fidelity which enables users to test and iterate their feasibility of products and estimate potential feedback from end-user. Designers use varied types of prototyping tools- both simple and advanced to craft their desired UI/UX. But pinning down the right one for the job is not an easy task.
