prototype

If you are having trouble figuring out what you want to build, how you want it to look, or how to demonstrate the idea, consider a frontend prototype.

A frontend prototype is a preliminary model for a web application, and its typically used for experimentation or demonstration. Companies often use prototypes to test a concept or a process. Sometimes they are also used for early sales and marketing use - think trade show displays  or for market testing and requirement gathering.

In addition, prototypes are a very valuable tool for rallying financial support either from within the organization or from outside investors. Prototypes can be an inexpensive way to demonstrate the feasibility of an idea while lowering the risk of investment, and they typically increase your chances for a sizeable development budget.

Typically, all we need to build a prototype is a wireframe and one workflow or user story. A fully functioning database or API is not always required, depending on how you plan to use the prototype. Usually the prototype is a temporary solution for concept design and development, and data accuracy is not the highest priority at this stage.
