Hi guys, do you know that a well produced, quality wireframe is a critical phase in the creative process and could make all the difference while working with different stakeholders? This question is relevant in this part of the world where due process and step by step approach is neglected. The need to create an acceptable blueprint for any website which would aid users accessibility has become germain in this ever innovative world. Please allow me to explore the “what” and “How” of wireframes briefly before talking about the “Why”.


What is Wireframe
Wireframes are the foundation on which to begin building your website or mobile App. It is often a simple sketch that shows the navigation, the main buttons, the columns, the placing of different elements in a Website or Mobile Application. A wireframe is a very basic layout of a web page that includes no color, no imagery and, in some few cases, no text.


How to use Wireframes
Since the goal of any wireframe is to "fit" the elements into a layout, not indicate how elements may actually appear in a final design, only where they will be located, a simple pencil sketch may suffice. In addition, there are some tools that make the process of wireframing easy, these tools include Axure, Balsamiq Mockups, Google Draw, Visio e.t.c. Creating wireframes using software makes the iterative process inherent in web design much less of a chore.


Why Wireframes are Important in Design Process Of Website/Mobile Apps
So, why do designers set out creating the skeleton for their new website or Mobile App project with wireframing? Why don’t they simply jump into the fun stuff by creating beautiful and detailed designs from scratch? The answer isn’t far fetched. Most clients might become problematic in the course of the design process and sometimes the developers themselves lose focus on the project.


Without the distractions of Colour, Imagery, and fonts, designers just focus on the underlying elements of the project. Thus, they have the chance to focus on the most important aspect of design-User Experience- which is essential from Conversion to Customer Loyalty.


Without further Ado, i’ll delve into the 5 reasons Wireframing has been seen as an important part of the Design process for Website and Mobile Apps Development.
