What is a Wireframe?

What is a Wireframe?

Wireframe components in Figma are those elements that provide a basic structure, or a skeleton of the project. It defines a basic layout for the design and is a blueprint of the further designing that may take place for the UI and UX of the designs. In this article, we will learn how to create basic wireframe components such as header, footer, or main page....

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....

Properties

Wireframe provides a blueprint or a visual layout of the design which we wish to create in future. It represents the entire design in a summarized, or an abstract format, as in a draft which is required before the finalisation of the design. Wireframes involve only the designing part of the project. No prototypes, or UX (User experience) features are added during wire framing of components. It is like a description of what all the project looks like. Wireframe components are of three types: Low Fidelity Wire Frames: These types of wireframes contain only a basic layout of the project, most of the designing elements being in only black & white. Mid Fidelity Wire Frames: They are a bit more advanced than low fidelity wire frames and consist of dark gray, light gray or black and white backgrounds and text. They represent a small part of how the UI design would look like. High Fidelity Wire Frames: They are a set of complete UI designs and represent the exact design which is required before prototyping or creating functionalities of the design. Wireframe components ensure the proper positioning of all infographic elements which are decided during the preparation of low fidelity wireframes. They are further added in the high fidelity wireframes....

Importance of Wireframes

Wireframes are essential before the finalisation of the project. They provide in basic terms what the project constitutes all and how it would look like & what changes can be implemented. Creating wireframe components is required when teams collaborate with each other to provide feedback and work together on a project. Wireframes are the designs which are almost ready to prototype. Wireframes allow a refining of the design and prediction of any changes that require an accurate representation of the design. It also helps in speeding up the designing process, thus making it easier to convert the design into codes. Images & Videos are always to be uploaded during the end of wireframe. Wireframes allow us to choose which place would be the most suitable for uploading images....

Conclusion

Wireframe components allow us to predict, refine, and improve the existing designs by providing a better layout and sketching a skeletal of the project. Using the above ideas and methods to implement, one can easily create interactive wireframe components in order to collaborate with teams and get better & optimized feedback....
