Mock-up

A Mock-up is a detailed visual draft of a website, app, or product. It’s a key tool in UX/UI (User Experience/User Interface) design, used to present ideas, define layout and structure, and offer an early preview of the project’s visual elements.

Unlike a wireframe, which is a basic outline, a mock-up provides a more polished design featuring realistic elements like colors, typography, images, and graphics. However, mock-ups lack interactive functionality, such as clickable buttons - that level of detail is typically introduced at the prototype stage.
