What is a Prototype?
A prototype is a simulation of the final product. It’s an interactive mockup that allows users to navigate from page to page and use functionality such as drop down menus.
One of the main purposes of building prototypes is to test whether or not the flow of the website is smooth and consistent.
Prototypes are not the final product! Do not expect it to look like the final product! It does not need to have a high fidelity or be pixel perfect.
"It's easier to use an eraser on the drafting board than a sledgehammer on the construction site."
Frank Lloyd Wright
