When viewing any website or user interface, visitors expect a visual design experience whose sizing, layout, and clickability don&#8217;t overwhelm or confuse them in any way. Instead, those exploring your website long for visual harmony, evenly distributed elements, a logical visual hierarchy, and of course, an intuitive user flow that makes sense.\u00a0<\/p><p>This is exactly why we love wireframes. Because we know how precious visual design is to web designers (like ourselves), we believe that by learning the significance of wireframes and how to implement them in your design workflow, you will supercharge your capabilities and credence as a web design expert.<\/p><p>And rest assured, Elementor&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/features\/editor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Drag and Drop Website Builder<\/a>\u00a0makes it easy to convert any wireframe or prototype into a WordPress site. This is just one option, of course, as most modern design tools have the option to add links and clickability between your wireframes, aka an interactive prototype mode.\u00a0<\/p><p>It\u2019s truly

Wireframes are a collection of placeholders (black and white outlined shapes) that represent how a website could be designed. Each shape represents a respective design element on the page, such as an image, a logo, menu items, buttons, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Wireframing is the web design and user experience design technique that serves as a low-fidelity mockup to illustrate the arrangement and layout of these placeholder shapes, which collectively form the basic foundation and structure of a web page or digital screen.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, every type of structure that your website will include, whether visual or textual, warrants a stage in your design process that focuses exclusively on its sizing, layout, and proximity to its surrounding page elements. Wireframing is one of the first stages of this multi-sequence process. Later in this post, we\u2019ll discuss each segment of this process and where wireframing falls into place.<\/p>\n<p>As you will soon see, wireframes are an entity in and of themselves in the world of UX and web design. They\u2019re not just important. They\u2019re crucial.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1725b11 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1725b11\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=750,h=480\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/low-fidelity-vs-high-fidelity-wireframes-just-in-mind.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-39716\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=750\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/low-fidelity-vs-high-fidelity-wireframes-just-in-mind.png 750w, https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=300\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/low-fidelity-vs-high-fidelity-wireframes-just-in-mind-300x192.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ff3636 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"3ff3636\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"why-wireframe-website\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7bf783f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7bf783f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why You Should Wireframe Your Website\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0148c38 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0148c38\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As a web creator, one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webfx.com\/blog\/web-design\/wireframing-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">key values in building a wireframe<\/a> is that it conveys layout ideas, content, and overall page-level design of the website you\u2019re creating.<\/p><p>Once you decide to add wireframing to your design workflow, you\u2019ll have enabled yourself to do the following:<\/p><ul><li>Visualize your content\u2019s layout<\/li><li>Save time and effort in your design process<\/li><li>Test for and correct usability issues<\/li><li>Perfect your information architecture<\/li><li>Test and refine navigation<\/li><li>Test usability with user testing and interviews<\/li><li>Perform rapid prototyping of any page element<\/li><li>Evaluate how your page layout applies UX and design best practices<\/li><\/ul><p>Another significant benefit of the wireframing process is that they provide great clarity into how information will be organized on the screen, otherwise known as the page\u2019s information architecture.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db4a6de elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"db4a6de\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"design-workflow\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-34b2fdc elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"34b2fdc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Wireframes Perfect Your Design Workflow\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b8f8911 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b8f8911\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The UX\/UI design process is a multi-step process, and can sometimes be very complicated and overwhelming. Wireframing is one of the very first segments of your design workflow and is a crucial ingredient for clear usability and polished user experience.<\/p><p>When you create a wireframe for a screen you\u2019re designing, you\u2019re allowing yourself to visualize multiple sizing and layout options for the elements on your screen. You\u2019re free to explore different layouts and arrangements by moving elements around to see what works best.\u00a0<\/p><p>It\u2019s also a matter of functionality because you\u2019re devising the visual process of a user flow that needs to take place, which is, in essence, a series of action items. Making sure that each of your screens\u2019 layout and information architecture is based on ultimate clarity is what will make your user flow possible. Creating wireframes to map out this process is the most promising way to eliminate any functionality flaws that you may have otherwise missed.\u00a0<\/p><p>You can even create multiple wireframes of one screen that show the different layout possibilities that you can use to then gather feedback from clients or potential users about which version works best.<\/p><p>Testing different wireframe versions of one screen is a great way to make sure that each segment of your design workflow is as comprehensive and well thought out as possible. When you have a wireframe that you\u2019ve invested in and selected from a variety of options as the best possible layout, your next stage of prototyping will be a smoother, error-free process.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-62bc070 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"62bc070\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"testing\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c3705a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5c3705a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Wireframes Simplify QA Testing<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f7576e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f7576e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>If something doesn\u2019t work on a wireframe, then there is a good chance that it won\u2019t work when you come to design it. But discovering this when you\u2019re already knee-deep in the design of your high-fidelity mockups would be frustrating, to say the least. It would mean starting from scratch every time you notice even the slightest mistake or functionality issue with your prototype.\u00a0<\/p><p>When you\u2019re looking to test multiple versions of your prototype, wireframing will make your life a lot easier. It\u2019s much simpler and quicker to create multiple versions of a wireframe than multiple versions of a high-fidelity mockup.\u00a0<\/p><p>When you\u2019re assessing the functionality of a wireframe, you\u2019re confirming that the layout and sequence of the elements on each screen enable users to complete the necessary tasks. When you\u2019re doing this on a foundational asset such as a wireframe, it\u2019s much easier to do so when focusing on core elements that may or may not need changing.\u00a0<\/p><p>Identifying necessary changes or corrections within a detailed, high-fidelity mockup may not be as simple. This is because it\u2019s more likely for mistakes to fall through the cracks when you\u2019re sifting through a lot of design details and illustrations. It\u2019s best to start at the foundation and progress accordingly as you solidify each stage of the user journey.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3f1ca9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"f3f1ca9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"revisions\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5505aa5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5505aa5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">It's Easier to Make Revisions<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4efe731 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4efe731\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Throughout a project\u2019s design process, clients will often have feedback (more than once) about changes they\u2019d like to see in the designs you show them.\u00a0<\/p><p>These changes can be both minor or major, for example:<\/p><ul><li>Button sizes<\/li><li>Font sizes<\/li><li>Column layout<\/li><li>Menu type (Hamburger, dropdown, etc.)<\/li><\/ul><p>And many more.<\/p><p>It helps to understand the importance of design revisions in the context of clients\u2019 decision-making.

As we know, as web creators, information hierarchy informs your content strategy from A to Z, so it is one of the biggest building blocks of creating a website.\u00a0<\/p><p>One example of a scenario where your client will need to approve a design decision is when you&#8217;re creating an <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/features\/ecommerce\/\"   title=\"eCommerce\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"25931\">E-commerce<\/a> store. Let&#8217;s say your project is to create a clothing store website, and you need to design a series of screens (such as a products <a href=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/blog\/single-archive-builder\/\">archive page<\/a> and single product page) and notification popups for when a shopper views an item and adds it to their cart.\u00a0<\/p><p>Your client may have a strong preference over whether he wants to encourage users to keep shopping after they&#8217;ve added an item to the cart, thereby exiting the single product page and returning to the product archive.\u00a0<\/p><p>If the most crucial action item is for the shopper to keep browsing, the information hierarchy will look something like this:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5dbc18e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5dbc18e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"298\" src=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=720,h=298\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/encourage-browse.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-39717\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=720\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/encourage-browse.png 720w, https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=300\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/encourage-browse-300x124.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-583b7db elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"583b7db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The primary action button is to continue browsing, and the &#8220;go to cart&#8221; option is less prominent.\u00a0<\/p><p>Alternatively, if your client wants to encourage an immediate purchase, where the shopper would continue to his cart as soon as possible, the design (both visually and verbally) may look more like this:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fabf3de elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"fabf3de\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"298\" src=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=720,h=298\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/encourage-cart.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-39718\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=720\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/encourage-cart.png 720w, https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=300\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/encourage-cart-300x124.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0dfc4d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a0dfc4d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Creating these two notification options takes only a few seconds, and presenting both choices to the client not only makes you look more professional, but it also shows that you understand the client\u2019s potential goals.

This is why the heading on the notification screen directly emphasizes the benefit of returning to browse more products. The buttons make the same point. The primary button (on the right side, in the darker color), is the one navigating to the product archive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there is no forced navigation going on, so the user does have the second option (secondary button) to go directly to his cart.

It is only after these low-fidelity mockups are finalized that designers proceed to begin choosing a <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/blog\/website-color-schemes\/\"   title=\"7 Rules for Choosing A Website Color Scheme\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"25935\">color scheme<\/a> and the entire visual design process, otherwise known as the user interface. Wireframes are the designer&#8217;s opportunity in the design process to perfect the core structure and functionality of each component found on their website or digital screen.<\/p><p>There is also a taxonomy for how to represent different design elements on a page, for example, when illustrating a wireframe element for your navbar, you&#8217;ll represent your logo with a simple circle. You won&#8217;t show design elements in detail, you&#8217;ll just indicate where they are and how they are laid out by drawing a square or circle to represent them.<\/p><p>In addition to shapes outlining your design elements, your wireframe will either include lorem ipsum text as a placeholder, or alternatively the actual text that you&#8217;ll write and insert into your website. This includes titles, paragraphs, buttons, etc. which should be shown in the sizing you&#8217;ll use in your high-fidelity prototype\/final product.\u00a0<\/p><p>Once the sizing, layout, and spacing of your elements is confirmed, your wireframe is complete and you&#8217;re ready to progress to the next stage of designing your website: creating mockups.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b91edca elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b91edca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"485\" src=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=720,h=485\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/home-cropped.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-39737\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=720\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/home-cropped.png 720w, https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=300\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/home-cropped-300x202.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-978c147 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"978c147\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"mockup\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ac540b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2ac540b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2.

That being said, high-fidelity mockups are usually static representations of the design, unlike prototypes, which are usually interactive representations. We\u2019ll discuss this shortly. Ultimately, this is why mockups are what\u2019s known as a mid or high-fidelity display of design.<\/p><p>Once you\u2019ve begun designing your mockups, it means your branding, logos, typography, and UI elements have been designed (with room for revisions and changes). In comparison to wireframes, mockups actually resemble or at least look like a finished product or website. They indicate a turning point in your design process since your user interface is starting to manifest itself as a tangible, visual asset.<\/p><p>Another key difference between wireframes and mockups is that wireframes are built using either pen or paper, or any tool that lets you create boxes and outlined shapes on a digital screen. That being said, you can also use vector graphic tools and simply use them to draw black, white, and grayscale shapes and boxes.<\/p><p>When it comes to mockups, you\u2019ll need to use a specialized mockup tool such as Figma, Sketch, Axure, InVision, or others. We\u2019ll discuss our recommendations for wireframe and mockup tools later on in the post.<\/p><p>You may find it super helpful to read a previous blog post of ours that addresses how to convert your mockups and prototypes into a WordPress site.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f2536e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6f2536e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"328\" src=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=720,h=328\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/interactive-prototype-screenshot.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-39738\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=720\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/interactive-prototype-screenshot.png 720w, https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=300\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/interactive-prototype-screenshot-300x137.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-011e5b1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"011e5b1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"prototype\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a066ee elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7a066ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3.

They can even be considered an early model of your design. Prototypes are almost always an interactive (clickable) simulation of your design that includes every design detail as well as every navigation element. The role of a prototype is to allow you to test your design by seeing what it will look like in real life and even see how users will interact with it on the screen.<\/p><p>Both designers and developers alike find great value in prototypes, as both design flaws and glitches in the user journey can easily be identified in a prototype.\u00a0<\/p><p>Examples of issues prototypes can reveal are:<\/p><ul><li>Realizing that image sizes are too big for a section of the screen<\/li><li>Realizing that different headings are not sized consistently\u00a0<\/li><li>Realizing that certain buttons aren\u2019t clickable or link to the wrong screen<\/li><\/ul><p>Another benefit that developers will gain from testing high-fidelity prototypes is assessing whether they can code each design detail used in the prototype, and if so, how. When developers assess a prototype, they can also be smarter about how they\u2019ll need to budget their time.\u00a0<\/p><p>Based on the complexity of the prototype, developers can gauge the amount of time and resources they\u2019ll need to code the design. This allows for greater productivity and efficiency.<\/p><p>As for designers, a strong incentive in building high-fidelity prototypes is that it allows them to test the user journey that they are trying to facilitate for every visitor. Now that your prototype is clickable, you can construct the necessary user journey(s).\u00a0<\/p><p>In addition to checking the functionality of each user flow, making sure that each button or link on each screen leads to the correct screen.\u00a0<\/p><p>But functionality is only half the battle. Each designer needs to confirm (and this often takes multiple rounds of testing) that their target user will be able to understand the possible actions he can take by using the prototype. In other words, you want to make sure that your user journeys are clear and intuitive to your visitors.<\/p><p>If a button, piece of text, etc. is confusing or unclear, you\u2019ll often be able to identify these loopholes when testing your prototype.<\/p><p>Now that we have a better understanding of the importance of each stage of the design process \u2014 both individually and collectively, we can take a deeper look at why wireframes, the most basic and foundational type of prototype, are so worthwhile.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

But really, any prototyping tool of your choice will work equally as well. Your most standard wireframe will include the components shown in the image above.<\/p><p>As you see in the image, every design element is in black and white, with no color or design detail. It\u2019s a simple, old-fashioned drawing that focuses solely on structure and layout.<\/p><p>Some rules of thumb that are good to keep in mind when creating your wireframes are:<\/p><ul><li>As you create your wireframe, think, and note down which <a href=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/widgets\/\">widget<\/a> you will use in Elementor to create this part of your <a href=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/for\/designer\/\">website design<\/a>.<\/li><li>Create an artboard for each screen state. This means that if there is a \u2018Sign up\u2019 process, create an individual artboard for each step (Sign up, create a username, create a password, etc.). This way, there will be no confusion or forgotten elements when you\u2019re designing.<\/li><li>Decide on dimensions before you start building your assets. Each of your artboards should be a consistent size, and all of the design elements should be scaled accordingly. The best practice for sizing when it comes to UX and Web design is to adjust your artboards to represent real device screen sizes. This setting is available in most modern design tools.<\/li><li>Wireframes must not go into too much detail. Think placeholders and only placeholders. Wireframes are the time to design your structure. Once that\u2019s in place, you start thinking about the visuals.<\/li><li>Wireframes don\u2019t include color, font choices, logos, or any real design elements that take away from purely focusing on a site&#8217;s structure.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-083e4eb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"083e4eb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Best Wireframing Tools\n<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-be51dbd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"be51dbd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Some wireframe tools that we like are:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9568564 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9568564\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Pen and Paper\n<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8081195 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8081195\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Many designers begin their wireframing process with a blank sheet of paper and a pencil or black pen.
