What is a clickable prototype?

A clickable prototype is an interactive model of a website or app, created to test user guidance and functionality before actual programming begins. With a clickable prototype, designers and developers can simulate the user experience (UX) realistically and gather feedback. Clickable prototypes usually contain no real data or complete functionality, but show the structure and navigation of the end product through clickable interfaces. They are a cost-efficient way of spotting errors early on and ensuring that the concept meets user requirements.
