Wireframes

2. Understanding Wireframes
Wireframes are outlines or
blueprints that depict the structure
and functionality of web pages or
applications. They focus on layout,
element placement, and interaction
flow, omitting detailed design
elements like colors and images.
Wireframes guide stakeholders in
understanding the basic structure
and user experience of a digital
product early in the design process.

3. Wireframe Example
For instance, a wireframe for a mobile banking app might feature:
●A simplified main screen layout with navigation tabs.
●Placeholder boxes for account balance, transaction history, and transfer
options.
●Arrows illustrating user flow, such as tapping on a transaction to view
details.
●Basic annotations describing functionality like swipe gestures and tap
actions.

6. Steps to Create Effective Wireframes
●Define Requirements: Understand project goals and user needs.
●Sketch and Ideate: Brainstorm layout ideas.
●Choose Tools: Select appropriate wireframing tools.
●Start Low-Fidelity: Focus on layout and functionality.
●Map User Flow: Ensure intuitive navigation paths.
●Maintain Consistency: Use uniform design elements.
●Seek Feedback Early: Collaborate and iterate based on input.
●Refine Iteratively: Gradually add detail and refine.
●Annotate Clearly: Clarify functionality and decisions.
●Prepare for Handoff: Document for developer implementation.

7. Best Practices for Creating Wireframes
●Functionality First: Prioritize functionality over design details.
●Simplicity: Focus on core elements for clarity.
●Consistency: Maintain uniformity for cohesive layouts.
●User-Centered: Design with the user’s journey in mind.
●Label Clearly: Clearly mark interactive parts and annotations.
●Iterate and Collaborate: Seek early feedback and iterate.
●Test Usability: Conduct usability tests for refinement.
●Document Changes: Track revisions and design decisions.
●Prepare for Development: Ensure clarity for developer implementation.
●Stay Current: Keep abreast of industry trends and tools.
