Interactive Prototypes That Prevent Costly Development Mistakes
A prototype costs a fraction of development but reveals the same usability problems. IBM research shows post-development fixes cost 10x more than fixes during design. We build interactive prototypes that simulate real product experiences so you can test, iterate, and validate before committing to code.
higher cost to fix problems after development versus during design -- prototypes catch issues at the cheapest point in the process

Prototyping
What's Included
Everything you get with our Prototyping
Interactive Prototype
Clickable, interactive prototype that simulates real product navigation, user flows, and key interactions for testing and stakeholder review
User Flow Simulation
Complete task flow simulations that let test participants attempt real tasks and reveal where the experience breaks down or confuses users
Prototype Testing Report
Findings from prototype testing with specific usability issues, user quotes, and design recommendations prioritized by severity and frequency
Our Prototyping Process
Scope & Fidelity Planning
We determine which user flows need prototyping and what fidelity level serves each purpose. Navigation validation needs clickable wireframes. Interaction design needs medium-fidelity. Usability testing and stakeholder demos need high-fidelity.
Prototype Construction
We build the interactive prototype in Figma with realistic navigation, transitions, and interaction patterns. Key user flows are fully interactive, allowing test participants to attempt real tasks without hitting dead ends.
Testing & Iteration
We test the prototype with representative users, observing task completion, confusion points, and navigation patterns. Findings drive rapid design iterations within the prototype, which is far faster and cheaper than iterating in code.
Validated Design Handoff
The tested, validated prototype becomes the definitive reference for development. Your team builds from a design that has been proven to work with real users, not from untested assumptions that may require rework.
Key Benefits
Risk Reduction Before Development
Every usability problem caught in a prototype is a problem that does not require development rework. Prototypes let you test assumptions, validate flows, and verify that the design actually works for users before committing development resources. This consistently saves multiples of the prototyping investment.
Stakeholder Alignment Through Experience
Static mockups leave stakeholders imagining how the product will feel. Interactive prototypes let them experience it. This tangible experience dramatically improves feedback quality and accelerates approval because stakeholders can evaluate the actual experience rather than a representation of it.
User Testing at Minimum Cost
Prototypes enable realistic usability testing without building anything. Users can attempt real tasks, reveal confusion points, and provide feedback on an experience that feels real but costs a fraction of production. This is the most cost-effective way to validate design decisions.
