From a simple sketch to a close-to-life solution with our
UX prototyping services .
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!

When to consider applying for UX prototyping services?
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.

FAQ
What is a prototype in UX design, and how does it differ from traditional product development?
A prototype in UX/UI design is an early version of a digital product — from basic wireframes to fully immersive simulations — used for testing and validating design concepts.
Unlike traditional product development, where the focus is on the final product, UX design prototyping allows for iterative testing before full development. This minimizes risks, saves time, and ensures the final product meets user requirements effectively.
At Cieden, our prototyping approach is informed by prior business analysis, ensuring prototypes align with higher business goals. Using our expertise across various industries and innovative practices like AI design, we deliver prototypes that can meet the unique needs of each project and put them in the leading positions in the market.

At what stage of my project should I consider app prototyping services?
It's beneficial to hire UX prototypers at the early stages of your project when you're still exploring, validating, or refining a product idea or concept. User experience prototyping helps understand user needs, test design concepts, and gather feedback before major resources are invested.
Additionally, prototyping is valuable during design iterations, before major investments, or when introducing new and complex features.
What happens after the prototyping phase? Can Cieden assist with further development?
After the prototyping phase, our role as a user experience prototyping consultant can extend to assisting with further design.
We’ll help you finalize UI/UX design, refine the product based on feedback, and prepare for the final development. Cieden designers collaborate closely with our clients to ensure that the transition is seamless, aligning the development efforts with the project's goals and user expectations.
Can changes still be made after prototypes are finished?
Yes, changes can still be made after the prototypes are finished. As an experienced UX prototyping agency, we approach prototyping as a crucial phase for identifying areas for improvement, and it's expected that adjustments may be needed.
How long does the typical prototyping process take?
Designing a high-fidelity prototype typically takes around 3 weeks, with constant feedback from the design team. Duration may vary based on project complexity and detailed requirements. For rapid UX prototyping, we can shorten the design period to meet tight project timelines.
