Prototyping to succeed. The functional prototype is key before launching a project.
At WonderBits, we know that when a company has an innovative idea, what they desire most is to see it become a reality as soon as possible. However, when turning an idea into a technological product, there is a risk of rushing things. It’s not about speeding up the process, but about validating and perfecting each step. That’s why creating a functional prototype is key before diving into full development; it’s one of the best decisions any business can make.
The prototype is the best way to know if what you have in mind actually works, if it makes sense for those who will use it, and if it’s worth continuing to invest time and resources. And this is where our WonderBits team steps in, helping you turn an initial idea into something tangible, reliable, and ready to move forward.
What is a prototype? It’s not just a pretty model.
Often, when we talk about prototypes, people imagine a static model that only serves to show how a product would look. However, at WonderBits, we go beyond that. A functional prototype is key: it’s a working version of the product that allows interaction, testing its flow, experiencing how its navigation would work, and detecting potential flaws before fully developing it. Discover why a functional prototype is key for validating ideas, reducing risks, and optimizing resources.
Why is this important? It helps avoid unpleasant surprises halfway through the project. Additionally, a prototype is a very powerful tool for presenting the project to investors, partners, or clients, showing them something more tangible than just an idea on paper. This way, you can secure support and funding before committing to a full investment.
What tools do we use to create prototypes?
At WonderBits, we use some of the best tools on the market to ensure that our prototypes are not only functional but also visually appealing and easy to test.
- Figma: Ideal for designing and simulating interactive interfaces. It’s perfect for collaborating with teams, making changes on the fly, and sharing the prototype in real-time.
- ProtoPie: This tool allows us to create more advanced prototypes with animations and realistic simulations, making the user experience as close as possible to reality.
- Useberry: A tool that facilitates user testing directly on the prototypes. It helps us collect real data on how users interact and make improvements before moving to the final development.
These tools enable us to create prototypes that are much more than simple sketches. They are functional versions you can use to validate your idea, convince an investor, or identify key improvements.
How we work with prototypes at WonderBits
Our process is agile and designed to adapt to each client’s needs. The key is ensuring that the prototype reflects the product’s value from the very beginning, allowing for confident decision-making.
- We understand your needs
We meet with you to understand the problem you want to solve and determine the best way to address it. - We create a functional prototype
We use advanced tools to design a prototype that simulates the interface and navigation of the final product. - We test and adjust
We test the prototype with real users and gather feedback. If something isn’t working, we change it on the spot. - We help you present it
Once the prototype is ready, we help you present it to investors, clients, or partners, preparing the presentation and highlighting the product’s strengths. - We move to development
After validation, we scale the prototype into a final product. With this solid foundation, we know we are headed in the right direction.
Why trust WonderBits?
At WonderBits, we don’t just create technology for the sake of it. We build technology that solves real problems and generates value from day one. Creating a functional prototype is key: it’s much more than designing a pretty model; it’s ensuring that your project makes sense, is viable, and has potential.
We are passionate about transforming ideas into tangible, secure solutions. If you have a project in mind and want to make sure it’s on the right track, we are here to help you shape your prototype and guide you through every phase of the process.
Because at WonderBits, we don’t just develop technology. We create trust and turn ideas into reality.
