Takeaway

Development of a user-focused prototype based on strong personas and journeys, in the form of an UX prototype, such as a Figma project, including wireframes demonstrating the overall design of the UI and the expected UX. Progress your concept to a stage ready for end-user testing, receive user feedback, and list of recommended changes.

This prototype can then be used to provide a clear structure and visual blueprint for your application and creates a strong foundation for implementation of the UI, with a user-centric focus and fewer UI revisions.
