Research<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Website design prototyping<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> starts with gathering the information. Look at the other sites in your industry (or even outside of it but similar or related to your business in other respects). Most likely, you\u2019ve visited them a gazillion of times before but as soon as you start planning your own site you will see them through a different lens. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use this research as a source of inspiration as well as for \u201cwhat-not-to-do\u201d warning signs to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">create a website prototype<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that will be the best fit for your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Step 2. Sketch<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now start bringing your ideas to life. You don\u2019t need any special art skills or tools for this \u2014 just scribble the main elements of your future website pages on a sheet of paper. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are the main things to keep in mind when sketching:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Sketch out all ideas that come to your head <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014 even those that seem ridiculous might inspire a good idea once you see it on paper.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Make it a fast exercise<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 the more you think about it the more likely it is you will get caught up in the details.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Annotate<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 a lot and everything that comes to your mind about the future page interactions of functionality. The chances are, if you don\u2019t write it down this very second, you will forget it at a later stage.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Use the placeholder copy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 you\u2019ll figure out the semantics later. For now, while you <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">create a website prototype<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, simply use clear labels for all pages and the biggest sections and Lorem Ipsum for everything else.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Focus on a bigger picture<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 where should the menu live? What will a product page template look like? Don&#8217;t dive too deep into the details while <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">creating a prototype<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Step 3. Define scope<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of what exactly you want your prototype to demonstrate and make a list of all pages you will need for it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps you just want to focus on a path to purchase? Then you will most likely need the following pages: a homepage, search results and\/or a category page, a product page, a cart page, a checkout page, and a purchase confirmation page. If you want to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">build a prototype<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for a whole website go ahead and list all pages it will feature. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tadam! The prep job is done, now you are ready to start <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">web page prototyping<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It\u2019s easy and a lot of fun \u2014 that is, if you use a good <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">website prototype builder<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/app.weblium.com\/signup?utm_source=en_blog&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=banner_article\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-20566\" src=\"https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2.2-800x178.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2.2-800x178.png 800w, https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2.2-320x71.png 320w, https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2.2-768x171.png 768w, https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2.2-418x93.png 418w, https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2.2-1080x240.png 1080w, https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2.2.png 1518w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_choose_the_best_website_prototyper\"><\/span><strong>How to choose the best website prototyper?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is<strong> not an easy decision<\/strong> given the <strong>number of solutions<\/strong> available on the market.
