Early project mistakes carry significant risks.
Prototyping is a vital tool for testing and refining ideas in the initial stages of product development — able to mitigate potential issues and avoid costly mistakes in the long run. With prototypes, you can simulate the user experience, test with real users, and identify potential design issues before development begins.
At Cieden, we guide you in defining information architecture, mapping user flows, and developing high-fidelity wireframes and interactive prototypes. Together, we’ll choose a suitable prototype type based on your needs, run usability tests, and collect immediate feedback, ensuring your future decisions are driven by data, not intuition.
Let us bring your concept from a simple sketch to a market-ready solution at no extra risk!
6 benefits of including UX prototyping in your design process
To pitch your idea to investors
Selling an idea to investors requires a compelling demo. A prototype with tangible elements lets them understand how the solution will work and the potential it holds.
For concept-to-product transition
Hire prototyping experts before fully committing to design and development, when you have a product idea or concept you want to explore, validate, or refine.
Before a major investment
If you're at a point where significant resources, time, and money are about to be invested, prototyping can ensure that this investment goes into a validated, user-approved concept.
During design iterations
Anytime you're making significant changes or iterations to the design based on feedback or new insights, you need to test these changes before finalizing them.
For complex features
When you're introducing new or complex features and need to ensure they are understandable, usable, and valuable to your users.
To solve specific user experience problems
If you've identified user experience problems or pain points in your current product and need innovative solutions to address them.
For market differentiation
When you're looking to set your product apart in the market with a unique user experience or innovative features and need to prototype these ideas for feedback and validation.
Before scaling
Before scaling your product or expanding to new markets, you want to ensure the user experience remains consistent and meets the diverse needs of a broader audience.
