Question 162

Yolanda is the web designer for your company and you are the business analyst. You are working with Yolanda on a new website that your company will host.

You'd like for her to create a mock-up of the website without spending much time on the actual workings behind the web interface. You'd like for her to show the customer how the website will look, some idea of the functionality of the website, and some basic graphics and colors so the customer can see the direction of the project.

What type of prototype are you asking Yolanda to create?

    Correct Answer: D

    You are asking Yolanda to create a horizontal prototype. A horizontal prototype focuses on the user interface by demonstrating the look and feel of the website, including screens, menus, and basic navigation flow. This prototype is useful to show customers how the website will appear and gives an idea of its functionality without delving into the detailed workings behind the interface. This aligns perfectly with the requirement to show the customer the visual direction, basic functionality, graphics, and colors of the project.
