Clickable prototype
A realistic prototype in Figma or an AI app builder.
A Prototyper turns the research, road map and mock-ups into something customers can click, try and react to. Using tools such as Figma and AI app builders such as Lovable, they build just enough to validate the idea, not the whole product.
Before building the whole estate, the developer builds one show home so buyers can walk around it and say what they like. A prototype lets customers experience your idea before you build it.
Something customers can click and try.
Feedback in days, not months.
