Web/Application Design Prototyping
What is it?
It is important for users of your website and web applications to complete tasks efficiently and confidently.
What do you get with the service?
NDIT can help you explore design solutions that meet your users’ needs with the following prototyping services:
- User flow – A user flow diagram outlines the steps that a user has to take with your product in order to meet a goal. This diagram helps identify places to improve efficiency in your product.
- Wireframes – Wireframes are used to map out how key content of your product might be laid out or how key interactions might work.
- Static visual mockups – Static visual mockups show the final look and feel of your product.
- Interactive prototypes – Interactive prototypes allow you to click through and experience actual interactions or your product. It is the closest representation of your final product before the development phase.
Design prototyping may be helpful if:
- Your agency has received feedback that users have difficulty completing tasks on your website or web application, and your agency needs help identifying alternative ways to structure the user flow.
- Your agency wants the user interface to have a more modern, on-brand, and mobile-friendly look and feel.
