“It’s pretty cool, I really love how you can experience a mobile prototype on the actual mobile phone with the app” However, this only makes sense if you can do iteration fast, without having to start over for every small change. Mapping and testing the entire design enables the designer and reviewers to consider to overall UI and flow as well as the details and, to check for requirements and specifications compliance. Having detailed screens and a complete view of the overall end user experience, allows for real-time testing, iteration and validation. The design process: get the best out of your prototypeīased on feedback, the design is further developed into a high fidelity prototype. We, better than anyone, know the key to any successful prototype is to allow for quick design and rapid iteration based on user testing and feedback. The prototyping tool should help him translate his ideas into tangible and clickable designs and allow him to develop those ideas through rapid iteration and collaboration with his team. The issue for me though, was needing to jump back into the design program to make corrections, and then jump back into the prototyping tool again.” “My experience with other prototyping tools wasn’t bad. His new prototyping tool would need to be one that allows him to get his message across in the most efficient way.

Because in the end all prototyping tools will get the message across to the client or customer, if you put that many hours into it. It was time for him to start looking for a more efficient tool that would allow him to make rapid iterations in real-time without having to start over when editing screens or flows.įor Charles, the real value of a prototyping tool comes from its time-saving functionalities and features. The prototyping tool he was using at the time didn’t have dynamic enough features and did not give him enough control over the details of his prototype design. What could’ve been small changes to screens in his web wireframe turned up being long hours redesigning entire screens. On previous prototyping projects, Charles found himself doing a lot of rework because of simple interface tweaks that needed to be made. They start with quick clickthroughs to validate ideas and then develop them into high-fidelity prototypes as the ideas evolve with feedback and testing. Their everyday workflow incorporates prototyping tools to help them start designing fast and right. To translate his team ideas and his own into end user experiences, the designers at TokBox work with different tools. Looking for a flexible prototyping tool to create, iterate and test We had the opportunity to talk with Charles Diggs about his work and, about how he incorporates web and mobile prototyping into his design process.
