Software Prototyping

Services

A functional prototype is more complex and realistic than a non-functional one. You can use it to simulate how the actual software will behave. It includes basic features and is primarily used to evaluate workflows, logic, and performance. A non-functional prototype is closer to a visual mockup that focuses on layout and design with no working features.

You must understand your business goals, target audience, and design functionality. Our team typically begins projects with a series of workshops involving stakeholders and gathering requirements. It allows us to collect the necessary information about the product concept and develop a prototype that meets your expectations.

We are a full-cycle software development company that builds custom solutions end to end. If a software idea is all you have, we can build a dedicated engineering team for you and assist you at every stage of development. We also provide support services to monitor and optimize software after the release.

Prototype creation is a relatively short stage of software development, taking from several days to several weeks. The duration of your project will depend on the complexity and fidelity of the prototype. For more specific estimates, schedule a free consultation with our team to discuss your case.

Prototype development is one of the core stages to start an engineering project properly. It enables you to visualize your app functionality without full development, test usability, and ensure the selected architecture can meet your goals. This way, a prototype can save you from unexpected expenses and reduce software development risks.

We offer team extension and dedicated team models that can be further customized based on your project stage and specific requirements. With team extension, you can hire several engineers to quickly expand your in-house team with experienced tech talents. The dedicated model means we assemble a remote engineering team fully focused on your project.

The dedicated model is an optimal choice for companies that do not have an in-house engineering team and seek to fully outsource development to a third-party vendor. You may also choose this cooperation model if you plan to outsource a large scope of tasks or a part of a big project.

The fidelity of a prototype, project complexity, and tech stack are the main factors determining the budget for prototype creation. A low-fidelity wireframe with basic visualizations is usually the most affordable option, whereas a functional prototype with real features and a working UI is more expensive as it takes more time and resources to design.

Yes, feedback collection and implementation is the core stage of prototyping. As a client, you will be actively involved in the process and review deliverables to share your ideas and recommendations. For high-fidelity prototypes, we also run usability testing to implement the necessary changes based on user feedback.

After creating the prototype, you test the usability and performance to refine the design. Once you implement the changes, you can finalize the product version and move it to full-scale production. Our engineering team can assist you with custom software development and create a fully functional solution based on the prototype.
