Design concept, prototyping and validation

Ideas put through the mill – testing designs, evaluating user feedback and improving usability
Contact us

The design concept, prototyping and validation are three key steps on the way to human-centred design. They help to flesh out, quickly test and verify the effectiveness of innovative ideas. From the initial idea to the perfected solution – we develop concepts, create clickable prototypes (e.g. in Figma or using vibecoding) and validate them meticulously. With usability tests, expert evaluations or user interviews, we ensure that the product impresses your target group and achieves your goals.

How prototyping with Ergon works

Developing concepts

We help to draw up clear, implementable concepts – based on the needs of your users and the goals of your company.

Rapid prototyping

With fast, clickable prototypes – e.g. in Figma or using vibecoding – you can test design ideas quickly and efficiently.

Usability tests

Usability tests validate the usability and functionality of your design.

 

Obtaining feedback

We collect and analyse the feedback from your users and thus continuously optimise the solution.

Iterative improvements

Repeated tests and optimisations enable us to find the best solution.

Context-based prototyping

Low or high-fidelity – we adapt prototypes to the task at hand and also use vibecoding for particularly fast, tangible results.

“They know what they are talking about – and they know what they are doing.”

From the idea to the tested prototype: Together, we develop sophisticated concepts, test clickable prototypes – e.g. in Figma or using vibecoding – and create validated solutions. Get in touch with us now.

The benefits of prototyping

  • Lower costs, as potential problems are identified and remedied at an early stage
  • Shorter time-to-market thanks to rapid prototyping and validation
  • Fewer risks and greater project success due to early-stage validation
  • Higher levels of satisfaction and better ratings
  • Higher brand value and increased user loyalty

FAQ

Prototyping makes digital concepts tangible at an early stage and enables well-founded design decisions before implementation. These FAQs look at the use of clickable prototypes, the role of user feedback, and how iterative validation helps develop solutions that work.

Glossary

Design concepts improve in quality when assumptions are tested early and solutions refined step by step. This glossary explains the methods and tools that make designs tangible, back up findings with evidence, and reduce risk in product development.

Rapid prototyping

Rapid prototyping means creating prototypes quickly, so that ideas become visible and testable at an early stage. This lets teams check assumptions before significant development effort is incurred.

Low or high fidelity

Low or high fidelity describes how detailed a prototype is. Low-fidelity prototypes are rough and quick to create, while high-fidelity prototypes are closer to the eventual user interface and interaction.

Vibecoding

Vibecoding is a fast, experimental approach to building working prototypes with the help of modern development or AI-assisted tools. In prototyping, it is used to try out ideas quickly in practice.

Expert reviews

Expert reviews are assessments of a design or prototype carried out by specialists. They can identify usability, interaction or consistency problems before any testing takes place with users.

Design validation

Design validation checks whether a design meets its functional goals and users' needs. It typically combines feedback, testing and expert assessment to back up design decisions with evidence.
