Clarify the problem, intended users and core purpose of your website or app. Create a focused brief with priorities and features to leave out of the first prototype.

Organise the key screens, navigation and steps users need to complete. Use AI assistance to explore alternatives, then review the structure against your brief.

Develop simple layouts and draft headings, labels and sample content. Check clarity, accessibility considerations and consistency before adding visual detail.

Use suitable design or no-code tools to connect screens into a sample experience. Distinguish simulated actions from working features and use sample rather than sensitive data.

Prepare practical user-testing tasks and record where people become confused. Prioritise changes and review the prototype across desktop and mobile layouts.

Document screen behaviour, content, assumptions and unresolved technical questions. Create a roadmap for the engineering, security and testing work needed before launch.
