Why should I prototype?

38% of people will stop engaging with a website if the content/ layout is unattractive
Improving customer experience can raise KPIs by over 80%

User feedback

Prototypes are excellent tools for gathering user feedback. We conduct user testing sessions with our prototypes to learn how real users interact with our designs, determining what works well and what needs improvement.

Objective alignment

Prototyping helps to ensure that your design aligns with your project objectives and user goals. We build in constant cross referencing against goals and objectives to ensure we make informed design decisions that prioritise user needs.

Risk reduction

Identifying and addressing design flaws and usability issues early in the process reduces the risk of costly errors and redesigns. Our rigorous process constantly questions the inclusion and purpose of design elements to help catch potential problems before they become major obstacles.

Content that is optimised not an afterthought

We run the pre-production stages for visual content alongside prototyping to ensure the content is an integral part of the design. We produce video, photo and digital content that works with the other design elements to promote user engagement and satisfaction.

Save money, time and headaches

We experiment with and refine ideas to determine a priority list of features so that resources can be allocated efficiently during development. Planning a project roadmap including must-haves and nice-to-haves ensures projects stay on time and on budget.

Don’t dilute your brand

Comprehensive planning allows us to execute the evolution of your brand from logos, typography and colours into buttons, cards and assets that build upon your existing visual identity.

The energy and enthusiasm the guys at Rubber Duckers brought to the project was amazing. They've given us the best chance to stand out with a slick website and engaging content.

What prototyping services will help my project?

For years, our team has excelled in sculpting top-tier prototypes and User Interface designs for ventures spanning the UK and beyond. Driven by a passion to translate business visions into tangible user experiences, we engage deeply with our clientele. Together, we shape UI solutions tailored perfectly to meet their unique goals.

Rapid ideation

The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas.
Test and validate multiple ideas early in the development process to identify flaws, usability issues and potential improvements so ensure only refined and developed ideas are carried forward.

User testing

Without data, you're just another person with an opinion.
Prototypes are an invaluable tool for gathering user feedback. We conduct user testing sessions to learn how real users interact with our designs so we can determine what works well and what needs improvement.

MVP design

The only way to win is to learn faster than everyone else.
Minimum Viable Product design is a strategic approach we use when creating a product or software application. The process is focused on delivering the core features and functionality required to meet the needs of early users and gain valuable feedback without the inclusion of unnecessary or advanced features.
