What are
wireframes?
A wireframe is a grayscale block diagram that
illustrates the overall navigation and the blocks
of elements such as content, function and more,
that will go on your screen.

Why Wireframe?
With some levels of
wireframes, clients
won’t get hung up on
font choices or colors
and can concentrate on
position and
functionality.
Wireframes are meant
to be throw away. If they
need to be altered,
throw away or change
quickly to make more
usable.
Testing can start with
even cut out paper, but
different levels of
wireframes are idea to
start testing with.
Wireframing allows you
to make the changes
needed before visual
design starts and make
sure the developers are
ok with the flow and
elements used.

Downside of traditional
Wireframes
While they are suppose
to be throw away, at
times both designers
and clients get attached
and thus they lose the
intended purpose.
While you can test with
paper wires, it quickly
turns to the need for
interactivity.
Hard to test what a
website would look like
on mobile a tablet and
the desktop with paper
or a fixed-width static
image.
This one is the most
dangerous for both
clients and the team.
Once you move to a
higher fidelity wire,
everyone starts to think
of the wires as final.

Why
Like a web page without
any CSS styling, this is
a great way to start
working. Then you can
style around the outline
with confidence.
If you can build it, you
see interactions first
hand, and it makes it
easier to explain to
devs, even if it isn’t
production code.
No guessing if it will
work, or when testing, if
something makes sense
or not.
