Prototyping is an important tool for reducing risk in Web site development. It allows you to create a quick model and analyze the results before going further. A prototype is a tangible product that demonstrates how the Web site can support organizational goals, and may be an important factor in garnering necessary support and resources. Prototyping is a great way to bring users into the design process. You can show it at meetings or at community events to get users' advice before you make design decisions.
