2. What is a Paper Prototype Paper prototype is a very powerful and effective usability technique to design and test user interfaces. In this phase, the usability expert designs the wireframes of the complete application/website in a PPT. Each screen is then printed on paper. This is not translated to HTML pages yet at this phase.

4. Why is it Important Paper prototyping helps test the information architecture and design of the website at a very early stage. This saves time and money since it enables developers to test interfaces before they write code or begin development. This also allows for easy and inexpensive modification to existing designs. Iterative usability testing of prototypes leads designers and developers to a progressively bug-free interface, which they can then develop with a fair amount of confidence. Kern Communications
5. When Should it be Done? This test should be conducted after designing the wireframes on paper and before the development of the application Kern Communications
