A clickable prototype is a set of realistic app screens linked together so people can tap and click through the main flows as if the product existed. Visnoa Systems builds clickable prototypes in 3–7 working days, starting from $1,500, for investor demos, user testing and getting stakeholders to agree on what to build.
Why start with a clickable prototype?
Most product mistakes are visible as soon as someone tries to use the product. A clickable prototype lets you find those mistakes for the price of a few days’ work rather than a few months’ development. It is the fastest, cheapest way to test:
- whether users understand what the product does within seconds;
- whether the main task can be completed without explanation;
- which features people actually look for — and which they ignore;
- how investors and partners react to the concept.
What is included
- A short scoping session to define the flows worth prototyping;
- high-fidelity, responsive screens styled to look like a finished product;
- clickable navigation between screens, with simulated states such as loading, success and errors;
- realistic sample content rather than “lorem ipsum”;
- one revision round and a shareable link for testing.
Clickable prototype vs working prototype
| Clickable prototype | Working prototype | |
|---|---|---|
| Real logic and data | Simulated | Yes, for core features |
| Typical timeline | 3–7 working days | 5–7 working days |
| Starting from | $1,500 | $2,500 |
| Best for | Testing the experience and concept | Testing whether the product is useful |

Who it is for
- Non-technical founders at the idea or pre-seed stage;
- product managers running user research;
- agencies preparing pitch demos for clients;
- businesses that need sign-off from management before investing in development.
How we run a user test with your prototype
If you want help learning from the prototype, we can prepare a simple test script: five to eight realistic tasks, questions to ask afterwards, and a template to record what people struggled with. Five well-chosen users will usually reveal the biggest problems.
What you receive
- A hosted clickable prototype and the source design or code files;
- a screen inventory and flow map you can hand to any developer;
- optional user-testing script and findings summary.
Clickable prototype FAQs
Is a clickable prototype enough to raise funding?
It can help a lot, especially at pre-seed, because it makes the idea concrete. Investors still look for evidence of demand, so pair the prototype with conversations, sign-ups or letters of intent.
Do you build clickable prototypes in Figma or in code?
Either. Coded prototypes feel more realistic and can be partly reused later; design-tool prototypes are quicker to change. We will recommend the right option during scoping.
Can the prototype work on mobile?
Yes. We design responsive screens, or a mobile-first flow if your product is primarily a mobile app.
