A prototype helps spot navigation and usability problems at an early stage.
What it means in practice
A prototype is an interactive version of a website or app design that you can click through and test – before the full code is written.
Why it matters for your business
A prototype reveals problems with navigation, forms or the clarity of the offer early. Fixing something at the prototype stage is many times cheaper than changing a finished website.
Examples and good practice
- Test the prototype with a few real users.
- Check key paths: finding the offer and making contact.
- Watch where people hesitate or get lost.
- Make changes before the build.
How Novi handles it
At Novi the website preview on day 4 serves as the prototype: you click through, check and give feedback before the site goes live.
