How to Create a Product Prototype: A Step-by-Step Guide

Prototyping is crucial for startups developing web apps or software as it allows them to test and validate their ideas, reduce resources wasted on trial and error, improve efficiency in build times and product development, enable quicker product launches, and provide clear communication of the product idea to teams and investors. However, prototyping a web app isn't always efficient due to disposable prototypes and MVPs.
