A simple definition of wireframe can be given as a rough
scratch which demonstrates the position of different elements of website and
how data is going to be displayed in website. It can be built with any
professional tools or can be painted by manually on paper to illustrate the
design of the website. Many web designers prefer to implement it where many
ignore to spend time and start design directly. One can include small things
like placement of social media icons or sign up button to placement of
promotional banner, what things to highlight in wireframe solely depends on web
designer. Building complex web application or website, it is preferable to
start design with prebuilt wireframe which leads you accurately to design
different parts of website and give clear ideas to your clients about design
process and outcome he would get.
Working with clients who are too specific for their website
design and ready to pay good amount for customization of design, working with
wireframe would be good option to build a website which is perfect as per his
needs. As web designer, it would help you making your presentation more
professionally and would help you elaborating your concepts, thoughts and ideas
clearly for design. A good wireframe is one which built with attention to
detail about each and every components of website from deciding its height,
size and exact pixel location where you would place it in website. In other
words, it is solution through which you can solve all doubts of your clients regarding
the design of website. Once you start building design, you can use the same
wireframe for reporting as well explaining your clients which part of it has
been finished and which have remained.
If you are thinking about the time it takes to create
wireframes, it depends on the complexity of customization in design. If you
prefer to draw rough diagram manually, it wouldn’t require more time if you
prefer to draw with some tools, you may need time to get aware about that tools
and features you can use. Drawing
manually or with tools again depends on the client’s requirement, budget and
other needs. There is software available in the market which you can utilize to
speed up the design but have to take care buying any premium one as you
would use the same software regularly for future projects as well, should prefer to
use demo version and get aware about the features. MockFlow, Axure, Pancil
Project, Mocking Bird, Cacoo, ProtoShare are some well known tools for
wireframe design.
