Prototyping is a crucial step in mobile app development that helps visualize and test your app before development begins.
What is App Prototyping?
App prototyping is the process of creating a preliminary version of your app to test concepts, user flows, and functionality before full development.
Types of Prototypes
- Low-Fidelity: Basic wireframes and sketches
- Medium-Fidelity: More detailed designs with basic interactions
- High-Fidelity: Detailed, interactive prototypes
Benefits of Prototyping
- Validate ideas early
- Save development time and costs
- Improve user experience
- Facilitate stakeholder communication
Prototyping Tools
Popular prototyping tools include:
- Figma
- Adobe XD
- Sketch
- InVision
- Marvel
Best Practices
- Start with low-fidelity prototypes
- Focus on user flows
