A prototype gives users and stakeholders something tangible to respond to. It can uncover problems, test assumptions and provide a clearer basis for investment, approval or funding.
Start with the problem
You don’t need a detailed brief or a fully resolved concept.
We begin by understanding the problem, who it affects and what a successful outcome would look like. Together, we identify the most important part of the experience to explore.
The idea might be a public service, customer or member tool, internal workflow, data experience or new feature for an existing platform.
Create and test the prototype
Our strategists, designers and developers work together to turn the idea into the simplest prototype that can answer the important questions.
This might be an interactive design, a functional proof of concept or an early product using real content and data. Where useful, we can test it with users to understand whether the concept is clear, useful and easy to use.
A focused product sprint
Most prototypes are developed over approximately two to four weeks.
At the end of the sprint, you will have a prototype you can demonstrate and test, along with a clearer understanding of what should happen next.
If the idea is ready to progress, Digital Garden can develop it into a minimum viable product or complete digital service.
Bring us your idea
You don’t need to know exactly how it should work. Bring us the problem, opportunity or early concept and we’ll help make it real.
