Wireframing is a visual guide that represents the skeletal framework of a website using interface elements and navigational systems. It connects conceptual structure to visual design and varies in fidelity resembling the final product. Wireframing is used to make rapid prototypes and measure design concepts, providing a 10,000 foot view of the product flow, parts, and visual design. It is an iterative process that incorporates early user feedback. Common page types include landing, dashboard, gallery, list, and forms pages. Usability standards and templates help streamline the process, with the goal of rapidly iterating so development can begin.

- 9. WHAT IS WIREFRAMING? If all else fails: h<p://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSxF-‐pISj1w
- 10. WHAT IS WIREFRAMING? Wireframes connect the underlying conceptual structure, or information architecture, to the surface, or visual design of the website and are measured in terms of “fidelity” or how closely they resemble the final product !
- 11. WHY DO WE USE WIREFRAMING?
- 12. WHY DO WE USE WIREFRAMING? To make rapid prototypes of pages, while measuring the practicality of a design concept!
- 13. WHY DO WE USE WIREFRAMING? To get a 10,000 foot view on our product! – Flowcharts: How do we want it to work?! – Sketches of product: What are all the parts we need to build?! – Visual designs: Make it sexy!
- 14. IT’S AN ITERATIVE PROCESS!! Get stakeholder’s buy-in and feedback! – Incorporate early user feedback into design! – Prepare user stories before you wireframe! • Keep the end user at top-of-mind! • Helps to make sure the information, navigation & flows make sense!
- 15. KNOW THE BASIC PAGES Landing! Dashboard! Detail! Gallery / List! Forms!
- 16. LANDING
- 17. DASHBOARD
- 18. GALLERY
- 19. LIST
- 20. DETAIL
- 21. FORMS
- 22. SOME ELEMENTS OF A WIREFRAME…
- 23. INTEGRATE USABILITY STANDARDS! Save yourself the headache / extra work later ! – People are “used to” the iOS platform, including the look and feel… ! – Makes the dev legwork easier, but it’s also help to make the user’s experience frictionless! – iOS Usability Standards!
- 24. WRAPPING IT UP…
- 25. WIREFRAMING WRAP-UP Wireframing is a minimalist’s sport – goal is to rapidly iterate so you can start building!! – Does our product have all the necessary pieces? ! – Do the engineers know what they need to build? !
- 27. WIREFRAMING TOOLBOX Templates are your friend ! – And so is paper – seriously. Sketch it out first.! – Ain’t no shame in ppt or google drawing (makes it easy to share with your peeps)! – Balsamiq, Keynotopia, GoMockingbird, Prot.io, Omnigraffle! – Smashing pumpkin for fancy pants and freebies!!
