Overview

Wireframing & prototyping for your app

Why wireframing is the key to success
  • Your app idea becomes tangible, you see immediately how the app works and can give feedback.
  • We work with Figma and Whimsical, so you can be there live and follow the development.
  • Through user testing, we find problems early, before we invest in expensive development.

Wireframing & prototyping is the second step in our app development process. We create interactive prototypes, test user flows and validate your app idea with real users.

In this overview, we'll show you how we structure your app, the benefits of professional wireframing and how we can bring your app idea to life together.

Advantages

Why wireframing & prototyping is worthwhile

Well-thought-out wireframing is more than just sketches, it's the key to a successful app.

Early fault detection

Interactive prototypes allow you to find problems in user guidance before we go into design. This saves time and costs.

Better communication

Wireframes and prototypes make your app idea tangible. You can immediately see how the app works and give feedback.

Validation of the concept idea

We test your app idea with real users and collect valuable feedback before we invest in development.

Optimized user flows

Well thought-out navigation and clear paths through your app ensure that your users reach their destination quickly.

Cost-efficient development

Detailed wireframes reduce misunderstandings and ensure more efficient implementation during development.

Fast iteration

With Figma and Whimsical, we can quickly make changes and test different approaches until it fits perfectly.

What is the difference?

Wireframes vs. designs

Wireframing and UI/UX design have different goals. Here we explain the most important differences in simple terms.

Functional approach

Wireframing & prototyping

We focus on how your app works and how users navigate through it.

  • Simple black and white sketches without colors
  • Placeholders for texts and images
  • Overview of all app areas
  • Focus on functionality
  • Quick changes possible
  • Working with Figma and Whimsical
Goal

Test and improve functionality

Visual approach

UI/UX Design

We design the look of your app and integrate your brand.

  • Detailed designs with real content
  • Colors, fonts and icons
  • Integration of your brand
  • Animations and transitions
  • Optimized for all devices
  • Standardized design system
  • Working with Figma and design tools
Goal

Attractive, brand-compliant design

Use cases

When does which approach make sense?

Both steps are important, but they have different objectives. Here you can see when which approach is suitable for your project.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about wireframing & prototyping

Planning an app project and still have questions about wireframing? Here you'll find answers on process, tools, costs and collaboration. If anything remains open, feel free to reach out personally, we'll advise you with no obligation.

Wireframing process & tools

We mainly work with Figma and Whimsical. Figma for detailed wireframes and interactive prototypes, Whimsical for quick sketches and user flow diagrams.

This depends on the complexity of your app. For an app with 10-15 screens, wireframing takes about 1-2 weeks. For more complex apps with many functions, it can take 2-3 weeks.

We work iteratively and adapt the wireframes until you are completely satisfied. This typically includes 2-3 major iterations and several small adjustments.

Prototyping & Testing

Yes, we create clickable prototypes in Figma that you can use to navigate through your app. This allows you to test the user experience before we go into design.

Absolutely! We test our prototypes with real users and collect valuable feedback. This helps us to identify problems early on and optimize the user experience.

You will receive detailed reports with findings from the tests, concrete suggestions for improvement and optimized wireframes based on user feedback.

Costs & offer

The costs depend on the scope and complexity. Wireframing for an app with 10-15 screens starts from around €2,000, including prototyping and user testing from €3,500. We will give you an exact estimate in the professional concept.

Calculate free of charge

We offer wireframing & prototyping mainly in combination with app development, as we can guarantee the best quality and seamless implementation. It is the second step in our development process.

You receive an individual concept with wireframing strategy, initial user flow sketches, prototype ideas and concrete implementation proposals, all non-binding.

Cooperation & Support

We work in an agile and transparent way. You receive regular updates, can give live feedback in Figma and are involved in every step. We use modern tools for collaborative work.

Yes, we create detailed user flow diagrams that also depict complex processes such as onboarding, payment processing or multi-user scenarios. Nothing is too complex for us.

Yes, we will continue to support your project and help with adjustments to the wireframes, new features or the handover to the design team. Good wireframing evolves with your product.
