Wireframing & Prototyping: Test Ideas Before Writing Code
Fixing a UX problem during development costs 10x more than catching it during design. We build interactive wireframes and prototypes that validate every decision before your budget is committed.

Wireframing & Prototyping
What's Included
Everything you get with our Wireframing & Prototyping
Low-Fidelity Wireframes
Structural page layouts showing content hierarchy, navigation patterns, and user flow logic without visual design distractions
Interactive Prototype
A clickable, device-ready prototype simulating real user interactions including page transitions, form behaviors, and navigation flows
User Flow Documentation
Detailed maps of every user journey through your site, showing decision points, conversion paths, and alternative routes
Our Wireframing & Prototyping Process
Requirements Gathering
We document your project goals, user requirements, content inventory, and technical constraints. We also review any existing analytics or user research to understand current behavior patterns and pain points that the new design needs to address.
Low-Fidelity Wireframing
We create grayscale structural layouts for every key page, focusing purely on content hierarchy, navigation logic, and user flow. These wireframes are intentionally stripped of visual design so feedback stays focused on functionality rather than aesthetics.
Interactive Prototyping
Approved wireframes are built into clickable prototypes with realistic page transitions, hover states, form interactions, and navigation behavior. The prototype can be shared via link and tested on any device, giving stakeholders and test users a near-real experience.
Usability Testing & Handoff
We run usability tests with real users to validate the prototype against your goals. Test findings are documented with specific design recommendations. The final, validated prototype is packaged with detailed specifications and handed off to your development team or ours.
Key Benefits
Catch Expensive Mistakes Before Development
Wireframes and prototypes expose navigation confusion, missing content, awkward user flows, and conversion bottlenecks before your development team writes a single line of code. This early validation saves weeks of development rework and prevents costly post-launch fixes.
Align Stakeholders With Something Tangible
Abstract discussions about 'what the site should do' become concrete when stakeholders can click through an interactive prototype on their phone. Prototypes eliminate ambiguity, resolve design disagreements with real interactions, and ensure everyone is aligned on the vision before committing budget to development.
Give Developers a Clear Blueprint
Developers work faster and more accurately when they have detailed wireframes and interactive prototypes to reference. Every interaction, transition, and layout decision is documented visually, reducing back-and-forth questions and ensuring the final build matches the approved design.

Cost of Change Research
Defects found during design cost 10x less to fix than those found during development, and 100x less than post-release
