Prototype Design Services

A prototype exists to answer a question before it becomes expensive: will people understand this, will investors get it, is this what we agreed to build. The most useful ones are built fast and thrown away.

What We Prototype

Matched to the question you need answered.

Clickable Prototypes

Interactive Figma prototypes covering the real flow, good enough that testers forget it is not built.

Rapid Concept Prototypes

Rough, fast explorations to compare directions before committing to one.

Investor Demo Prototypes

Polished walkthroughs that demonstrate the product convincingly without building it.

Coded Prototypes

Working front-end prototypes where the interaction genuinely cannot be faked.

Usability Testing

Sessions with real users, recorded and reported with the specific changes we recommend.

Build Specification

The validated prototype turned into a specification your developers can quote from.

What You Get

01

Realistic interactions

Transitions, states and micro-interactions so testing reflects the real experience.

02

Real content

Actual copy and plausible data — placeholder text hides most of the problems you are testing for.

03

Session recordings

Recorded tests so your team can watch users struggle rather than read about it.

04

Prioritised findings

What to change, in what order, with the evidence behind each.

05

Shareable links

A link stakeholders can open on any device without installing anything.

06

A path to build

The validated prototype becomes the design foundation rather than being discarded.

Who We Design For

Products with real complexity — where the design job is deciding what goes on the screen, not decorating what is already there.

Design Capabilities Beyond The Screens

What makes a design usable by developers and durable as the product grows.

Design systems

Documented components, variants and tokens rather than a folder of finished screens.

Tokens in code

Colour, spacing and type exported in a form engineering consumes directly.

Every state designed

Empty, loading, error and edge cases handed over with the happy path.

Accessibility

Contrast, focus order, target sizes and screen reader behaviour checked during design.

User research

Interviews and usability testing, so decisions come from evidence rather than internal debate.

Build review

We review the implemented interface against the design and log the differences.

How It Works

Usually two to four weeks from brief to tested findings.

Frame the question

What decision this prototype needs to unblock, agreed in one conversation.

Build

The prototype at the fidelity that answers it, with real content.

Test

Sessions with users from your actual audience, recorded and analysed.

Report and decide

Findings, recommended changes and a clear go, revise or stop.

Answer The Question Before You Build

Tell us what you are unsure about. We will prototype exactly that and test it with real users.

Prototyping Questions

Everything you need to know about our design work.

Five to eight per audience segment finds most usability problems. Beyond that you get diminishing returns — better to test five, fix what you find, and test five more than to run one large study.

The design can, and usually should. A Figma prototype is not production code, but the validated flows and screens become the design foundation for build. Coded prototypes sometimes evolve into the real front end, though we are careful about carrying prototype shortcuts into production.

That certainty is exactly what testing checks. It is a cheap insurance policy — a fortnight of prototyping against months of building the wrong thing. When testing confirms you were right, that is still a useful result.

We can, or you can. Recruiting from your own users is faster and usually more representative. For a new product with no users yet, we recruit against a screening profile you approve.
