Wireframes, Prototypes and Mockups
Before we build, we make your product visible in cheaper, faster forms so you can react to it early. Wireframes, mockups and prototypes each show a different level of detail, and knowing the difference helps you give the right kind of feedback.
These artefacts let us test ideas on screen rather than in code, where changes are quick and inexpensive. It is far better to rearrange a wireframe than to rebuild a finished page.
The Three Levels of Detail
Each step adds fidelity, moving from rough structure towards something that looks and behaves like the real thing.
- Wireframe: a low-detail sketch of layout and content, no colours or styling.
- Mockup: a static, full-colour design showing how it will look.
- Prototype: a clickable version you can navigate to feel the flow.
How to Review Them Well
Matching your feedback to the fidelity on screen keeps the conversation productive.
- On wireframes, focus on structure and content, not colours.
- On mockups, comment on look, brand and tone.
- On prototypes, walk the journeys and test the flow.
