Mobile App Prototyping Techniques

Mobile app prototyping is one of the essential task to be completed at the very first stage to give the overview of the app to designer as well as developer . At Winklix , we follow agile approach to mobile app development , and hence we follow early approach for prototyping . This article is written solely for the purpose of highlighting the benefits of prototyping at early stages of product app development , so that the end user of the app gets the best experience of the product so far .

Two Stages Of Mobile App Prototyping

The process of prototyping starting after completion of the initial design process and wireframing . Design is to showcase in person what the app is going to look like displaying all the necessary features that need to be prioritize which by using their designing skills . At this stage the mobile app UI and UX also starts to form , following mobile app wireframes . Building a clickable prototype is like flight Onboarding for our designer wherein one will get to know the look and feel of the app looks .

The final step before we take of for developmental process to start on , prototype are must to check interaction we are building are correct and is upto the mark for the problem we are trying to solve with app development .

In a  lengthy process of app making , we follow the process of drawing on a rough sketch , wireframing , prototype , development and then finally final design . Therefore it is necessary to spend as much time as necessary for making such interaction and it is also fact that it might change multiple times but don't regret to do that as everyone learns from mistakes and mistakes improve makes an awesome app .

Advantages Of Early Mobile App Prototyping 

The answer is simple , as soon as we get the prototype , early we will be able to get the user feedback for the same. The benefits to us in number of way for our irritative approach to app design and development . Our team loves to hear comments and deliver the best according to the recent market trends .

Everyone has their own taste of design , and its important to know the concept of every person together with adding the spices with our own chefs . To begin with prototype , we can start user testing immediately - thereby giving overview of how the product fits in the market .

User feedback plays a important role in any of the process and helps to save lots of time and money as by this we will always be able to deliver what user is exactly looking for . This also helps us finding of mistakes at early stages and therefore rectifying it before the development process starts .

Prototype also reduces the communication gap between designing and development team  .
