- Clarity: Wireframes answer the critical questions of what a web page is and what users can do on the web page to satisfy their needs. A wireframe is a helpful guide for visualizing the web page’s layout and ensuring that the most important questions are answered.
- Confidence: Clear and easy-to-use website tools increase user confidence in the brand. When a web page has boxes or buttons in unexpected areas, user confidence diminishes. Wireframing makes a website predictable, consistent, and easy to navigate by placing web elements in intuitive positions.
- Simple: Wireframing doesn’t involve too much information, as well as programming or coding. It’s a basic process or black and white sketching to avoid confusion and delays in the initial stages of web design.
- Is the search box big enough to be seen on the page?
- Where should menu options be located on the website?
- Can visitors easily scroll the page up and down?
- Can online users easily see the contact information on the screen?
- Where should the shopping cart be located on the page for easy checkout?
- Where should images and videos be positioned on the web page?
- Where are the best areas for ad placements?
- How are call-to-actions (CTAs) and other buttons positioned on the web page?
- Do users experience navigational problems or trouble finding relevant information on the page?
- Don’t Mind The Aesthetics: Don’t think about aesthetics (like colors) during wireframing because this step involves pure outlining of features and formats.
- Create Functional Blocks: Focus on determining the functional blocks forming your design’s skeleton. Add details in the way a user naturally processes a screen, from left-to-right and top-to-bottom, like the pages of a book.
- Outline: Wireframing should outline content organization, the most prominent placement for key information, and what users should expect to see on the web page.
