- We might believe our design is awesome, but how do we know for sure? Paper prototype creation and usability testing are fast, cheap, incredibly easy ways to see whether we covered all the angles. The prototype can be created in a day, and then usability tested with real consumers the next day to see how well it works for them, whether they understand the concepts, and what changes you'll need to make before the product's ready for development. There's no need to go to a higher fidelity than a sticky notes on copier paper design. In fact, you'll get more honest feedback from consumers if you keep the interface low-fidelity and sketch-like, because they'll realize you're still open to making changes. Their feedback can be brutal, but it's much better to hear it now than after you've spent weeks or months creating a backhand and an interface, only to realize you have to redo everything.
