- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Static Mockups
Developers should learn to create or interpret static mockups to collaborate effectively with design teams, ensuring accurate implementation of UI designs and reducing rework
Pros
- +They are essential in agile workflows for gathering feedback before coding, and in projects where visual consistency is critical, such as mobile apps or marketing websites
- +Related to: ui-design, figma
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use UI Prototyping if: You want it's essential for roles involving front-end development, ux/ui design, or product management, particularly in agile environments where rapid iteration and user testing are critical and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Static Mockups if: You prioritize they are essential in agile workflows for gathering feedback before coding, and in projects where visual consistency is critical, such as mobile apps or marketing websites over what UI Prototyping offers.
