Wireframing is an essential part of a UI design strategy serves as a blueprint for your design, you could design a UI for mobile or website without a wireframe for sure, but having a wireframe designed before works like a planning tool helps you track your workflow and helps you understand the user interfaces better.
What is a wireframe ?
Wireframe is a basic and very simple design that allows you to design upon it and work more easily and faster.
A wireframe is basically a UX design where you start imaging your app or website and how it will be used, a well made wireframe creates a better workflow and puts you and your team ( if you are working with others on your project ) on the same page !
How to build a wireframe ?
To build a wireframe you should always start with a clean mind so you can think clearly about your design.
- Do your research and start imagining your design : think about the first interface the way it will navigate to the second one how the layout should be the buttons and other essential elements.
- Always think about your wireframe as a sketch-like not a final product so make it simple, drafty and don't go into details.
- Choose how to create your wireframe you can obviously use a piece of paper or just go ahead and start creating a wireframe in Figma, Adobe illustrator, sketch or whatever you prefer working on, or you can use your iPad ( we have created a tool that will help you wireframe on the go using only your iPad )
