The article doesn’t claim to throw away digital prototypes either (almost) and it’s interesting to explore the basic concepts of wireframe prototyping. A good point Shawn talks about is every web project’s number one enemy, money.
Paper prototyping is a great way to reduce the costs of a digital delivery with a client who has the contemporary mindset, but not the money.
So before diving into the various digital prototyping tools out there, it’s good to have a refresher on prototypes in general and what better place to start, than cut out pieces of paper.
Enjoy!
