UX wireframes can be used as a blueprint for the final design
Now that we better understand our users, wireframes can be used as a blueprint for the final design.
Wireframes are important because they contain content strategy and UX design.
Wireframes should include user research to help create an easy-to-use interface.
With wireframes in place, I can now start designing the UI for the app.
1. Wireframes can be used as a blueprint for the final design
By creating our blueprint for the app beforehand, wireframes are able to serve as a blueprint for the final design.
This is important because it includes content strategy and UX design, which can be difficult to create once you’ve already started on the UI of an app.
Wireframes also help by providing user research so that I’m designing with users in mind.
With wireframes in place, now I am ready to start designing the UI of our app.
Wireframes include valuable information like content strategy and UX design — this makes them essential when creating a successful application interface from scratch (or redesigning)
2. Wireframes are important because they help designers and developers see what content will look like on the page before it is coded
Being able to see and visualize exactly what the outline of the app will look like before any design is added, allows me to ensure that the functionality and flow of the app is perfect and user friendly, before it is designed.
I can use a wireframe to work out where the content should go and what features each page will contain, so that when I design visuals for the app, they all align with one another perfectly.
3. A wireframe helps to identify any potential usability issues or other problems with a site’s layout early in the process
Finding out that there are useability problems with the app after everything is already designed is costly because it means that the app has to be redone.
I can use wireframes as a way of identifying any potential usability issues or other problems with a site’s layout early in the process and avoid having to go back and redesign anything later on down the line.
A wireframe is not just restricted to being used at an earlier stage when designing, they are also useful for designers who have completed their work but need some help deciding what content goes where.
The UX designer will know exactly how each piece should fit together so he/she will be able to identify any gaps that may exist in terms of functionality which might require additional wireframes before going into design mode again.
Wireframing is all about communicating your ideas.
