Steps to Create Different Wireframes

The steps to create wireframe components for all three different types of wireframe are the same. Here are the below-mentioned steps that one must follow in order to obtain a suitable & reliable wireframe component.

1. Create a navigation bar with a logo at the left side and navigation bar options at the center, including the sign-in options on the right side.
2. Under the header, add a left-side text container with some decorative text, and beside it place an infographic element.
3. For domain-specific websites, you can create a heading related to the website and under that add a few images that specify the product.
4. At last, the footer must contain all important links including the social media links and under that a copyright message for the website would do good.
5. Note: While creating low fidelity wireframes, choose only black color for text & white color for background. In mid fidelity wireframes, you may switch background colors and text colors between black, white, gray and their contrasting colors. In high fidelity wireframes, choose any theme of your choice and prepare it as a final UI design.

Keeping in mind the above steps, herewith are three examples of wireframes attached with their screenshots and respective steps.

Step 3: Add a button with black text & white background.

Step 4: Add a horizontal line before the navigation bar and after the main content. Add a heading in the centre and under that add 4 boxes for image placing.

Step 5: For the footer, add a horizontal line before it and under that add a heading in the left side stating Links to several social networking sites, and under that 3 ellipses to store social sites images.
