UI/UX prototyping is the process of creating interactive, low-fidelity or high-fidelity representations of a digital interface to test and validate design concepts and user interactions. It allows designers to visualize and demonstrate the user flow, functionality, and visual elements, providing stakeholders and users with a tangible experience to provide feedback and make informed design decisions. Prototyping is an essential step in the UI/UX design process, enabling iterative design iterations and ensuring the final product meets user needs and expectations.
