Wireframes are an important part of any design process. They are navigation diagrams that can help lead your users to the product you’re planning on creating.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n But, there are a few common mistakes designers make when wireframing. This article provides some tips that will help you avoid these common issues and create better wireframes for your projects.<\/span><\/p>\n Wireframing is a core part of your design process as it helps you plan the structure and layout of your final product.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A wireframe is a skeleton version of your product, where all the major parts are in place, but no actual details or text have been added.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Many designers create wireframes geared to their perception of the product rather than their target audience. However, to create a product that will be successful in the marketplace, you must first define your target audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You cannot expect to find success if you design a too advanced product for your target audience’s needs.<\/span><\/p>\n It’s easy to get carried away with the design aspects of your wireframe. If the wireframe looks awesome, it can be tempting to add more and more graphic elements, but you should avoid this trap.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Creating a product is not about making a pretty picture but rather creating something that will help your users achieve their goals. Your wireframe should make sense to the user and help them accomplish their goals.<\/span><\/p>\n The best wireframes are the ones where your users can easily see how they will experience your product. The navigation and structure of your project should be based on how the user will proceed in using your product.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This can sometimes be tricky, but try to find some way to consider this when you are drawing your wireframe.<\/span><\/p>\n Your wireframe should not be the final product. You need to create a working prototype as soon as possible after creating your wireframe and then revise your wireframe based on its functionality and effectiveness after the prototype has been created.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If you don’t troubleshoot, your final product might not be able to do what it’s supposed to do.<\/span><\/p>\nAbout Wireframing<\/b><\/h2>\n
