Prototyping Software Development

Refine your concept, identify usability issues, experiment creatively, validate ideas, secure buy-in, and move forward without a shadow of a doubt.

Partnering with entrepreneurs, innovators, and start-ups demands that we hit the ground running and work reactively to produce solutions at the speed they need to break into the market. This mindset is why we’re so skilled at creating prototypes and minimum viable products (MVPs). We transform ideas into functional, tangible experiences that enable early-stage validation to minimise risks and refine concepts before taking them to full-scale development.

With 15 years of experience in UX design, agile development, and creating MVPs, we emphasise transparent communication and collaborative partnerships that enable lean, iterative design. Our objective is to efficiently bring the fundamentals of your concept to life to test and visualise ideas and ultimately secure buy-in from stakeholders. Get the right development team in your corner.

Responsive prototyping in a fast-paced tech market

How well-developed is your idea? We’ll adapt to you. From wireframes to high-fidelity prototypes, we’re ready to apply our skills to your project at whatever stage of development we find it. We focus on iterative development, working in stages on feedback from you and your teams for scaling and feature expansion. This is how we help you visualise your prototype and get it to a stage where you're happy with bringing it forward to full development.

Our approach is always bespoke. We examine your prototype idea and align user-centred design with the real-world needs you’ve identified. Our agile methodology means we can always adapt to your evolving needs and market demands—critical in the fast-paced world of tech innovation.

A UK-based agency for prototype development

Whether you’re a startup with a fresh idea or an established business looking to expand, we collaborate with all types of companies in London and throughout the UK. As a full-service prototype and MVP development company, we create experiences that truly engage your audience, whether testing labs or stakeholders. Our approaches to prototyping:

Rapid throwaway prototyping—building quick, disposable prototypes for immediate feedback.
Evolutionary prototyping—iteratively refining a prototype based on user input until the final version emerges.
Incremental prototyping—breaking down complex projects into smaller parts, each with its prototype, before merging them.
Extreme prototyping (web apps)—a three-stage process involving static wireframes, functional connections, and real services for dynamic testing.

How should your vision to be conceptualised?

From healthcare to fintech, eCommerce, and climate tech, our portfolio of clients is wide-ranging, and we love adapting to new niche markets. The natural creativity of our team lends us to prototyping and MVP development as we’re quick to adapt to new projects and think flexibly about the best solutions to your challenges.

We can work with you to produce a range of different types of prototypes including basic digital skeletons that outline functionality, interactive designs that mimic user experience, detailed static representations, and feature-rich products that closely resemble the final result.

Low-fidelity wireframes
Clickable prototypes
Mockups
High-fidelity prototypes

Start-up MVPs, system validation, investor pitches, product evolution.

Bring your idea to reality without the financial risk. Make business-altering decisions before the locking-in.

The MVP development partner you can trust to demonstrate your vision

When developing a prototype, we focus on early validation with our clients, testing core functionality and balancing performance with user experience. Gathering feedback from you and any relevant stakeholders is important to ensure we refine the design, user flows, and all the details the software needs to convey. This is why we work in feedback loops and prioritise collaboration with you. We use iterative feedback to refine usability and ensure your prototype is completely aligned with your vision, allowing you to move smoothly to actual development.

Tell us about your idea

We use tools like Miro, Figma, and Sketch.io along with our own coding tech stack to bring you prototypes that look and feel like the experience you’re after. We don't just specialise in prototype development. We also create custom solutions to support a range of popular growth ventures for businesses:

The prototype development process

We work with a range of clients with varying needs and at different stages of the software scaling process. Validating core features, testing user workflows for enterprise solutions, high-fidelity prototypes to secure funding, and gathering data for redesigns of existing software are all in our territory. Our process for each project follows the same fundamental steps, always with Myth Support throughout your project:

Understand functional and non-functional needs
Use paper or digital sketches to outline basic ideas
Build detailed, interactive prototypes
Transition from low-fi wireframes to high-fidelity designs
Conduct usability tests
Observe user behaviour to refine the prototype
Move the validated prototype into development

Benefits of prototyping in software development
Prototyping reduces development risks by validating ideas early, saving time and money. It improves communication among stakeholders, designers, and engineers, ensures usability through testing, and fortifies investor confidence by presenting tangible concepts. Prototypes also support iterative refinements to align the product with market needs.
How prototyping helps in software development
Prototyping helps by uncovering usability issues, refining user flows, and validating design concepts early. It ensures stakeholders and teams align on requirements, prevents costly late-stage changes, and speeds up development by providing a clear roadmap for engineers. User feedback during prototyping ensures the final product meets expectations.
What is a prototype in software development?
A prototype in software development is an early simulation of a product's look, feel, and functionality. It can range from simple sketches to high-fidelity, clickable designs. Prototypes allow teams to visualise ideas, test user interactions, and gather feedback, helping to refine concepts before full-scale development begins.
What is rapid prototyping in software development?
Rapid prototyping is the fast creation of early-stage, often disposable prototypes to gather immediate feedback and refine ideas quickly. It focuses on testing core functionalities or designs in short cycles, reducing time to market and aligning the product with user needs and stakeholder expectations.
Why prototyping is important in software development
Prototyping is vital because it allows teams to test and validate ideas early, ensuring resources are invested in the right features. It minimises risks, enhances usability through user testing, and accelerates decision-making. Prototypes also help secure stakeholder and investor buy-in byvisually representingf the concept.
