Why Should you Prototyping Now?

Everyone building apps for web or mobile but problem is, issues get highlighted when its too late so try prototyping and its really a game changer.

This is the question that is repeated again and again, in the workplace. Designers, design agencies and start-ups are concurrently designing mobile and web apps but the problem is, issues get highlighted when it is too late, products have been built and money, time has been wasted. Resulting in the customer receiving a product that does not meet their end requirements.

So why should you bother now?

By them, building an online prototype, they can quickly detect design flaws and test thoroughly the design functionality in order to pickup on any errors, bugs and misunderstanding early on, instead of when, the product is finished or nearly completed.

“An online prototype is a great way to compile user-feedback all in one place.”

Enabling users and clients to test-drive the web or mobile app. The client and design team would be able to think through the user’s journey from start-to-end as if the product was live. In this way, prototyping can reduce misunderstandings from both the design team and the client(s) perspective. Resultant in improved design quality and products closer to the customers end requirements. Like this, when a prototype is shown to the client(s) they will have clearer clarity and experience a feel for the functionality of the software and they can propose changes and modifications at this stage rather than at the end when code has been written. As with prototyping, designers are bringing the client/user into the process much earlier.

Thus, resulting in better quality products being delivered to the end user. At this stage all changes, and feedback from all parties can be implemented into the design of the product. Since it is much ‪simpler to make ‪changes to the ‪design before ‪any coding begins and of course, it is far less expensive to rectify problems before any code has been written and development started. By prototyping the client will save time and money and the design team will sign off the project on time resulting in higher user satisfaction.

“Prototyping is indispensable into-days’ fast moving digital design industry where nothing stands still to count back 3, 2, 1.”

There are interactive prototyping and design collaboration tools like Savah that streamlines feedback right to the design screen to allows create quick prototypes for web or mobile apps without writing a any line of code.
