what is mobile app prototyping?what are the benefits?

 Let us first consider the factor of what is mobile prototyping ?

A mobile prototype is a demonstration of how the mobile app works or it is not a exact app it is just the photos of the app .Weather you are developing the apps for the clients or for ourselves it is always better to have prototyping as the first pointer to do in your checklist .prototyping is nothing but nailing it down of what are the features that your app has and how does the app look like When it comes to the prototyping there are two types . The first one and the most easiest one is the paper prototyping where he prototypes can be created with the help of a pen and a sheet , this is also the cheapest form of prototyping. The second one is the skeleton prototype this is where you can build the mobile application but with out any functionality here you build it to know the high level visual functionality this is a type where you build all the tabs and all the navigation of the apps to only demonstrate how it works but it will not consider any actual functionalityIt is always better to start with the paper prototype and then do the skeleton prototype  where the paper prototype




Why is the prototyping is important?

Consider you have a client where you are updating him with the design and he gives the reviews on them for first time you code the change and the client mind changes again and he asks for another change you still have the patience and recode it but when the changes goes on and on it becomes draining isnt it and also consider the instance where you have launched the app with out the prototype of the app being developed and the user who downloads it and uses it gives a negative review about the user experience you cant go back for each and every review and change it and if the user experience is not good it is obvious that the user might move out of the app so that is how important the prototype can some times become when it concerned to the user experience 


Now that we have mentioned what is mobile prototyping and why is it important lets see


Benefits of the mobile app prototyping 


Chance for the new ideas and also for the improvement of the existing feature

When you create the prototype and the user testing is done or there is a review on it ,there is always a chance of improvement for the existing feature or it can also help to add the new feature which would be always a add on to the user experience 


It is Cost efficient

Let us consider a instance you have almost finished the product and you find a problem with the product and then you go to rectify the problem in this case time money and resource would be a waste .Taking the another instance where you have the prototype developed in the initial phase of the product development and you find the elements that could cause the problem to the product and rectify it,here the time involved to rectify the problem and the severity tn the problem would be less and also the cost,time,resource will be less .Taking both the instance to consideration it is sure that the prototyping is better for the cost effectiveness on the long run


You can involve the clients and stakeholders

It is always a plus if you are involving the stake holders and the clients at the planning process and it becomes easier if the stake holders also becomes the part of the decision and the ideas that we take There are several other reason to involve the stakeholders during the process


The research would be more impactful if we involve the stakeholders

Makes sure that the same research is not done twice 

Can help in forming the strategy for the project direction


UX validation

When you create a app keeping the users engaged is the most difficult thing to do and that is not the case with all the apps some of the apps has the high user engagement and these apps for sure would have done the prototyping first and must have done the user test on the prototype to check how efficient is the usability 


Conclusion

Mobile App prototyping is its own reason for the success of the app when it comes to the user engagement and also it has other benefits that are mentioned above and most of the mobile app development companies in dubai have the best practice of creating the prototypes before getting into the actual process of development

What are the things to avoid while creating the mockup apps?

  The next step is having a rough picture of how it will look and work after you find out what you want your app to do and who you want it to be for. For this, with all the buttons and as much text as possible, you create a mockup, a black and white outline for all of the screens in your app. Final mockups should be performed by a specialist, but in this post, you will get off to a good start with the template. It will help you to understand how the app converts from a word-formulated idea to a smartphone design formulated on screens. In the screen-to-screen interface in which it will actually be viewed, you will get to see how your app looks. You may see items that look fantastic and decide to add a few more, or you may see that there is not enough space on the screen to add all the buttons and features that you want. A mockup is a perfect tool for testing your own design objectively. You can discover that your definition is simply not feasible. The best way to illuminate the prob...
