Design
Prototyping that holds up under real users.
We focus on interactive prototypes for stakeholder and user testing. Written scope, your stack, weekly demos — no account-manager layer.
Session recordings show users stuck on prototyping is blocking something else from shipping. We take a fixed window (6-8 weeks for product-wide UI refresh with design system), integrate with Figma and Next.js, and demo progress every week.
Stakeholder opinions matter less than session recordings on key flows.
We won't hand off without a prioritized fix list, not just pretty screens.
Who this is for
- -Engineering leads who want prototyping that builds cleanly in React.
- -Growth leads where prototyping should move signup or demo conversion.
- -Product designers underwater — need prototyping for one critical flow.
- -Founders relaunching and need prototyping before paid traffic scales.
Problems we solve
- -Prototyping estimates balloon because acceptance criteria were never written.
- -A previous vendor shipped prototyping that broke on edge cases in week two.
- -Your team lacks bandwidth to own prototyping while shipping the core product.
- -Integrations around Figma are fragile and nobody owns on-call.
- -Stakeholders disagree on what "prototyping done" means — so nothing ships.
What we deliver
- -Written scope for prototyping with explicit in/out of scope
- -Weekly demo — live or recorded — with decisions logged
- -Acceptance checklist signed before production launch
- -Runbook for the failure modes we expect in month one
- -Handoff doc so your team can maintain without us
- -Working implementation in your repo using Figma and Next.js
How we work
- 1.Week 1: map current state, stack, and what "prototyping" must change
- 2.Week 2: lock scope, acceptance tests, and cut lines
- 3.Weeks 3+: build in your repo with weekly demos
- 4.Final: launch, monitor, handoff docs
Why Futurebits
- -We won't hand off without a prioritized fix list, not just pretty screens.
- -Typical window: 6-8 weeks for product-wide UI refresh with design system — stated in writing before we start.
- -Weekly demos with written decisions — not status decks.
Frequently asked questions
How is Prototyping priced?
Fixed scope for sprints (6-8 weeks for product-wide UI refresh with design system). Broader work runs as a pod with weekly demos. We quote after a 30-minute scoping call.
What do you need from us to start?
One decision-maker, repo or staging access, and honest constraints (timeline, budget, stack). Existing docs help but aren't required.
Can you stay on after Prototyping launches?
Yes — maintenance sprints or a partner retainer. Many teams keep us for the next bottleneck once v1 is stable.
Who on your team works on Prototyping?
The same small team from kickoff to launch — not a rotating bench. You talk to the people writing code or design files.
What does the first week of Prototyping look like?
Access, repo setup, and a written scope draft. No build until you sign off on cut lines and the metric we're targeting.
