What is a wireframe and why should I care?

What is a wireframe? A wireframe is an outline of your future website or app which contains only the most basic information to capture how it will function, and the basic user experience. A wireframe can be as simple as hand-drawn by one person or created in software by many different people throughout an organization.

How wireframing can save time on projects

The process of creating wireframes can help teams gain early agreement on what to do and how they’ll do it. The team can easily provide feedback on what works, where improvements are needed, or if any suggestions need to be added. This can help cut down on lengthy meetings later in projects. There’s a reason that design sprints use low-fidelity wireframes—they’re easier to review quickly!
