Wireframing
Wireframing is a visual design technique used to create low-fidelity, skeletal layouts of digital interfaces, such as websites or mobile apps, focusing on structure, content placement, and user flow without detailed styling. It serves as a blueprint for development, helping teams align on functionality and layout before investing in high-fidelity design or coding. This process is essential in user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design to iterate quickly and gather feedback early in the project lifecycle.
Developers should learn wireframing to improve collaboration with designers and stakeholders, ensuring technical feasibility and clear requirements before implementation. It is particularly useful in agile environments for prototyping, user testing, and reducing rework by clarifying navigation and component placement upfront. For example, when building a new web application, wireframes help define page layouts and interactions, streamlining the transition from design to development.
