This document discusses the importance and process of creating wireframes for web design. It begins by explaining what wireframes are and providing examples from other fields like fashion, architecture, and writing. It then covers how wireframes help structure a website, who can create them, and the typical development process. The document also lists different tools that can be used to create wireframes and provides examples of different wireframe types. It concludes by offering best practices for wireframes such as keeping them simple, using minimal colors, and ensuring stakeholder agreement before finalizing.
Wireframes beyond the basics, not for the weak at heart. In this panel, three experienced designers will share their tried and true tips for making wireframes really work. We'll talk about how to sketch a wireframe on the fly to demonstrate an idea and how to create a standalone wireframe deliverable; when to show a concept and when to describe nitty-gritty detail; how to make a narrative wireframe and how to make a specification wireframe. And best of all, we'll show you plenty of examples.
In the modern day when people develop hundreds of software applications, websites or mobile apps the term UX (User Experience) is getting more and more significant, particularly in the IT industry.

UX design is not a step in the process, it's in everything we do. More than anything it is a project philosophy, not just a set of tools, methods and deliverables.
In this presentation we explain how you can differentiate through design, why user experience design matters as well as share our knowledge around all the activities that helps ensure a great UX/UI design.
This presentation is an introduction to the fields of User Experience and User Interface design that I created for a Google Hangout talk for Saigon CoWorkshop.

Design and its fundamental process have changed with time, growing challenges among the users, devices and different platforms for UI and UX process.
In Design Fundamentals, a day-long thorough workshop, we will try to understand the fundamentals of UI and UX process, and follow the standard process and approaches to create a user-centric design. With basic Design Principles as the the backbone for our design, of course!
A word “design” has a very broad meaning and is used in nearly every business or industry. We always have an intuitive awareness of what this is about though. But when we talk about UX and UI design terms, everything is getting a lot more complicated.
What is UI UX design? Is it a generic term? Or UX and UI are two separate concepts? If they are autonomous notions, so why are they always used together? In this article I want to answer all your questions concerning this topic.

Part C Developing Your Design SolutionThe Production Cycle.docxsmile790243
Part C Developing Your Design
Solution
The Production Cycle
Within the four stages of the design workflow there are two distinct parts.
The first three stages, as presented in Part B of this book, were described
as ‘The Hidden Thinking’ stages, as they are concerned with undertaking
the crucial behind-the-scenes preparatory work. You may have completed
them in terms of working through the book’s contents, but in visualisation
projects they will continue to command your attention, even if that is
reduced to a background concern.
You have now reached the second distinct part of the workflow which
involves developing your design solution. This stage follows a production
cycle, commencing with rationalising design ideas and moving through to
the development of a final solution.
The term cycle is appropriate to describe this stage as there are many loops
of iteration as you evolve rapidly between conceptual, practical and
technical thinking. The inevitability of this iterative cycle is, in large part,
again due to the nature of this pursuit being more about optimisation rather
than an expectation of achieving that elusive notion of perfection. Trade-
offs, compromises, and restrictions are omnipresent as you juggle ambition
and necessary pragmatism.
How you undertake this stage will differ considerably depending on the
nature of your task. The creation of a relatively simple, single chart to be
slotted into a report probably will not require the same rigour of a formal
production cycle that the development of a vast interactive visualisation to
be used by the public would demand. This is merely an outline of the most
you will need to do – you should edit, adapt and participate the steps to fit
with your context.
There are several discrete steps involved in this production cycle:
Conceiving ideas across the five layers of visualisation design.
Wireframing and storyboarding designs.
Developing prototypes or mock-up versions.
219
Testing.
Refining and completing.
Launching the solution.
Naturally, the specific approach for developing your design solution (from
prototyping through to launching) will vary hugely, depending particularly
on your skills and resources: it might be an Excel chart, or a Tableau
dashboard, an infographic created using Adobe Illustrator, or a web-based
interactive built with the D3.js library. As I have explained in the book’s
introduction, I’m not going to attempt to cover the myriad ways of
implementing a solution; that would be impossible to achieve as each task
and tool would require different instructions.
For the scope of this book, I am focusing on taking you through the first
two steps of this cycle – conceiving ideas and wireframing/storyboarding.
There are parallels here with the distinctions between architecture (design)
and engineering (execution) – I’m effectively chaperoning you through to
the conclusion of your design thinking.
To fulfil this, Part C presents a detailed breakdown of the many design
.
This is one of the training course that I conducted in 2016 before I started my company Lava X.
And I thought it will be great sharing it here with everyone.
Presentation explains how wireframing technics which are used mainly by designers, can be used in software engineering process by mobile app developers.
PDF Submission for Checkux prototypes vs wireframes.pdfpetter son
In this comprehensive blog post, we will delve deep into the world of wireframes and prototypes, understanding their unique characteristics, benefits, and when to use each one.
Lecture 2 from the MHIT 603 course on Human Interface Technology. This lecture provides an introduction to Prototyping. Taught by Mark Billinghurst at the University of Canterbury, July 17th, 2014.
Wireframes are a critical starting point to your design. Wireframes help a designers workout complex interactions and cheaply identify challenges. There are holes in the interaction and UI. Keep the sketches loose.
I joined 3 other UX experts to teach and consult hackers and makers about UX at #Startathon Singapore, the largest 24-hour future-driven hackathon/makathon event in Asia.
My talk was on how to use wireframes and prototypes to craft a beautiful and well thought out user experience. In this talk, I compare different wireframing and prototyping tools, and advised on how to choose the right tool.

This presentation is targeted to developers trying to learn enough design skills to fill in gaps when a ux designer is not available to work on a project. A secondary goal is to give developers insight into the design process.
Similar to Importance of Wireframes in Web Design (20)
5. fashion designers
sketch
A fashion designer initially
sketches a concept, crafts
the pattern, apply colors,
works on combinations to
present the idea.
10. first of all
Wireframe helps build the structure of a
website by displaying the basic elements
like Navigation, Header, Footer,
Ad-Inventories, Page Columns, sidebars
and more. Consider wireframes as QUICK
but a ‘thought through processes’ to
architect the page.
11. first of all
First thing for a reviewer is to understand
the purpose of WF, do not expect the
desired ‘web-experience’ from these
drawings. These are mere first level
communications crafted towards
achieving the desired user experience.
13. who should create
wireframe
Technically, a wireframe is created by an
Information Architect (IA) or a
User Experience Designer (UED/UX).
But this does not limit here.
14. who should create
wireframe
I believe a wireframe can be proposed by
anyone in the organization who has the
understanding of websites and the
user-flow.
15. who should create
wireframe
Business head, project leader, product
manager or CEO can draft a wireframe in
any form (digital or paper) to present the
idea to the team and take it forward to
brainstorm.
18. the development
process
Step 1 – Brainstorm session
Step 2 – Creating Wireframes
Step 3 – Reviewing of Wireframe
Step 4 – Getting started with designs
19. the development
process
Wireframes works as a communication
tool for the project between multiple
teams in achieveing the goals.
The team connects better than before.
21. tools you can
work with
- MS Powerpoint - Google Drawings
- MS Excel - Gliffy.com
- MS Word - MS Visio
- Adobe Photoshop - Balsamiq
- Adobe Illustrator - Paper, Pen/Pencil
22. tools you can
work with
No matter which tools you prefer to work
with just consider that wireframes as
foundation to a final website design.
Avoid design details in wireframes.
32. best practices
Keep it simple, to the point and accurate.
Clarity of project is extremely important
while working on the flow.
33. best practices
Try and keep your wireframes in grayscale
or with minimal colors. Overuse of colors
can mislead and distract from the
objective.
34. best practices
When wireframes are sent to stakeholders
for review/approval make sure they are
complete and agreed up on by all of them
who have contributed in the project during
brainstorm.
35. best practices
Make sure all the key elements are
communicated well, like, action buttons,
media players, pagination, image
placeholders, etc.
36. best practices
Do not wireframe for every project. Any
new website or a module in a existing site
would require a wireframe.
37. best practices
For stakeholders, limit your queries within
the scope of the shared wireframes. This
is to avoid confusion and complexity.
38. best practices
For stakeholders, before providing full list
of feedback I suggest you spend more
time on these wireframe, do a complete
analysis and check.
40. wrap up
Wireframes are about ‘how a page should
be built’.
Never expect the desired experience from
wireframes. Wireframes throws you an
overview of page PLAN.
