Why Designers Should Know How to Code

Problems:

In designing an application for existing customers, I found that the simplicity of wireframes and InVision prototypes ended up lacking and disrupting any usability testing.

• When users tested prototypes, they would become frustrated and unable to complete tasks when elements in the prototype did not work.
• Creating clickable sequences for InVision prototypes becomes exponentially complex when visual or sequential changes need to be made.
• Can’t test with real data.
