UX 101: The Wireframe
If you develop web sites you're probably pretty familiar with the wireframe, and if you're a user experience designer you're probably rolling your eyes at yet another post about what a wireframe is and what it's good for. If, on the other hand, you're not involved in the mucky details of site design and development, wireframes may seem a little mysterious. If that's you, you're not alone. The fact is wireframes are commonly misunderstood by stakeholders, especially when they're new to the web. I regularly have to explain to clients what a wireframe is, how we use wireframes, and sometimes, why they should pay attention to them. If you're new to wireframes, I'm here to get you up to speed on what a wireframe is and how to read one. If you already know all about them, maybe you can use this post to educate your stakeholders.
