Build a basic prototype using the Prototype Kit

This tutorial shows you how to prototype a fictional 'Apply for a juggling licence' service that will:

• ask 2 questions
• show the user's answers for them to check
• show a confirmation page

It will take about an hour to finish this tutorial, after you install the Prototype Kit.

Our prototype will look a bit like this:

Diagram of 6 pages connected together.

Before you start

Before you start, you must install and run the GOV.UK Prototype Kit.

You'll also need a code editor. These two are popular, well established and fairly accessible:

• VS Code
• Notepad++ (Windows only)

Next (open your prototype in your editor)
