Wireframes and user flows

Clickable Figma prototypes

Clean handoff to developers

SPLIT Development designs wireframes and clickable prototypes in Figma before any code is written. You see the page structure, user flows and key screens, test them with real users and approve them, so development starts from a plan instead of guesses.

Wireframing and Prototyping FAQ

What is the difference between a wireframe and a prototype?

A wireframe is a simple layout of a page that shows structure and content. A prototype is a clickable version that shows how users move between screens.

Why make a prototype before development?

Changing a prototype takes hours, while changing built code takes days. Testing a prototype with users finds problems before development starts.

What tools do you use?

Wireframes and prototypes are made in Figma, and you get full access to the files.

How much do wireframing and prototyping cost?

At SPLIT Development, wireframing and prototyping are billed from $35 per hour. The estimate depends on the number of screens and flows.

Can you prototype an existing website?

Yes. We can wireframe a new structure for an existing site before a redesign, often after a UX/UI audit.

Can my developers use your prototype?

Yes. Final screens come with specs and states in Figma, ready for any development team.
