What is the difference between a mockup, a wireframe and a prototype?
A wireframe is a rough grey layout showing structure only. A mockup adds real colour, type and imagery so it looks like the finished thing but does not work. A prototype is clickable or functional and lets you test the actual behaviour.
Is it mockup, mock-up or mock up?
The noun is written mockup or mock-up, with mockup now the more common form in design and tech. As a verb it is always two words: you mock up a design.
