From concept to creation: The power of Wireframing and Prototyping in mobile UI/UX Design

When it comes to the design and development of mobile applications, the application design process is complex and involves many stages. The initial concept could be great; however, a business might not have a properly structured layout and a map that will help to stick to the ideal image during the work. That is why wireframing and prototyping act as the basis of good mobile UI/UX design. But what does it involve? That is, what are these processes, and why is it so important?  

What can be learned about Mobile UI/UX Design from the Concept of Wireframing?

Wireframing is the creation of a visual map, a basic layout, and the application's layout and functionality. Think of it as deciding on the basic layout of where buttons, images, content, etc. will be displayed in your app, equivalent to deciding where the bones of your animal will be located without having to worry about the flesh.  

Wireframing can be described as the blueprint of a building. Would you begin to build a house, say a wall, without a properly planned design or layout or a model to follow? Probably not. Likewise, wireframing helps to align your app’s architecture, which means that there are fewer chances to pay a high amount to redesign structures later. Furthermore, it has also been ascertained that the usability problem detected and solved in the wireframing process can decrease the total development expenditure by up to 30%.  

Prototyping: When it comes to the creation of your app, you must bring it to life once you have developed your app.  

While wireframing helps you get the layout, prototyping adds life to the layout you’ve created. Prototyping is the process of developing a working model for the way your app will be developed. This is where you test the flow, user interactions, and usability of the product before writing a single code line.  

Why is Prototyping essential?

What would happen if you released your app to the public and realized that the users were challenged when it came to maneuvering through it, let alone navigating through it? This way, the issues never get this far, and prototyping assists you in identifying them at this stage. Research shows that $50 per user is wasted on interface mistakes, meaning half of users’ frustration stems from interfaces. In other words, with the help of a prototype, you can find these issues without affecting your users and solve them before they take place.  

How Chaintech Network improve your App Design as per Wireframes and Prototypes? 

At Chaintech Network, we also know that a perfect-looking app is not perfect if its usability is not smooth. Our wireframing and prototyping process is methodical, so every feature of your app is independently created to meet the user’s needs.  

• User-Centered Design

  The user-centered process models we will follow start with understanding your users. Who are they? What are their needs? This knowledge helps in our wireframing and prototyping and the final design of the application, making it not only utilitarian but also appealing to your target audience.

• Collaborative Process

  It also means that we should maintain a good working relationship with our clients when making designs. The wireframes created are discussed with you at different stages, thus enabling some alterations to be made. The above cooperative work empowers the final product to co-relate effectively with your vision.

• Interactive Prototypes

  The fact about us here at Chaintech Network is that we don’t design mere images but construct an earnest working model, which is the layout. This puts you in a position to realize how your app is going to work and make decisions before developing it.

• Efficient Iteration

  Prototyping or wireframing enables us to adopt constant change in our methods and hence be efficient. In this manner, we can ‘nip possible problems in the bud’ as it were, and avoid having to redesign chunks of your project, which would cost both money and time.  

Here's why your App needs Chaintech Network’s expertise  

The mobile application market is quite saturated, and consumers are not tolerant of any issues as a new app grows its audience. The usability of the applications can make all the difference between an application that is selling as planned and one that is slowly moving in the market. Chaintech Network provides wire framing and prototyping services that will avail an impressive and enhanced design of your app to its users.
