Mockup

A high-fidelity design that represents your final product, without the interactivity of a prototype

Why it matters

The mockup is where the design stops being an idea and becomes an opinion others can react to — visual decisions turn inspectable, and “I’ll know it when I see it” stakeholders finally see it.
