# Resource Platform Prototypes

This page will provide links to prototypes we have made to test features and functionality of Just Like Us' resource database platform with users across this programme.

In our approach to the programme we have chosen to do two cycles of prototype creation and usability testing to allow for informed iteration and validation.

N.b. The Figma links below will open the preview versions in a new tab. If you want access to copy elements for your own prototype please let us know.

## Prototype cycle 1

* A low-fidelity Figma prototype designed to test the usability of a flow from selecting a resource to downloading it via a login or signup system. This prototype also allows us to gauge feedback to features such as bookmarking, tags and sharing. See it [here](https://www.figma.com/proto/xDsmIyhlQB3nVMN3jtYsDt/JLU-Prototype-(iteration-1)?node-id=1%3A2&scaling=scale-down-width).
* A folder containing three other prototypes designed to test the usability of filtering and resources. Further information is in the 'Facilitator Notes' file in each prototype's folder. Visit the folder [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1PM77wpmCW8rDKcmw899lA_BBWfyexqta).

## Prototype cycle 2

* An updated version of the cycle 1 resource database platform. Some features have been updated with feedback from cycle 1 usability testing. Visually this prototype is improved, but as our development partners EDD will define the look and feel of the website at large, solidifying any style guide would likely be counter-productive. As such it remains reasonably non-comittal in a visual sense. Check out the updated version [here](https://www.figma.com/proto/dCYDaUoFECGjK3uairktXj/JLU-Prototype?node-id=249%3A3563&scaling=scale-down-width).
