WIREFRAMING
What Users Need will sketch out relative placement/prominence of site content and functionality elements before producing a set of annotated wireframes for each page template.
What is wireframing?
The prime purpose of a wireframe is to give out a structure of design so as to carve a layout that best gives the direction to the user with the help of information which provides a thorough understanding and proper navigation of an interface.
The wireframing stage is indispensable as it gives a designer an idea about the layout and user interactions without being overwhelmed with all the colors, visuals and above all, ‘design’.
Why is wireframing an imporant stage?
Below are some points that describe the importance of wireframing in our designs:-
- The wireframe blueprint is a good source to reveal an interface’s information display. It reflects a link between pages, screens and shows the related paths a user will need to navigate the interface.
- Next, a wireframe is undoubtedly a systematic presentation of the information. You will see that all the content is given either in the form of a table, or bulleted list. Pictures are presented as squares or all user profile images are shown in a circle. These constant depictions actually become a visual language that a user subconsciously becomes comfortable with and even gets at ease in digesting such information.
- The best and the most significant aspect of the wireframe is that it is helpful in prioritizing the content. It is the wireframing step in which the designer decides how much space is to be given to each item and what is the place that is best suitable as per the visual hierarchy.
