It\u2019s a useful tool when you have lots of information and content and need to apply some structure beforehand.<\/p>\n<p>There are well-established practices in UI design, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/nngroup.com\/articles\/f-shaped-pattern-reading-web-content-discovered\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">user experience research<\/a> into how people navigate websites and absorb information efficiently. A lot of designers use pre-made<a href=\"https:\/\/adobe.com\/ca\/products\/xd\/features\/ui-kits.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> UI kits<\/a> when designing a website for these reasons since most of the work has already been done.<\/p>\n<div class=\"altpull\">Tip: User Interface (UI) design refers specifically to digital interfaces like apps or websites. User Experience (UX) design refers more broadly to the overall experience your customer has when interacting with your product or service.<\/div>\n<p>Generally, UI design is accepted as a subset of UX design. Wireframing is an important piece of the puzzle for effective UI and UX. Wireframing is the scaffolding for the final structure. It\u2019s there to block out important things like layout, plus any key decisions that you want your users to make along the way.<\/p>\n<h2>Wireframe size guidelines<\/h2>\n<p>There are a bunch of devices out there that people might access your website on. From smartphones to laptops, tablets, and desktop monitors &#8211; and all of the variations within these device groups.<\/p>\n<p>Since <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/search\/mobile-sites\/mobile-first-indexing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google started to prioritize mobile-first websites<\/a> in their results, making sure your website works across all platforms is super important. In industry terms, this is known as website optimization.<\/p>\n<div class=\"altpull\">Tip: To keep things efficient and stop you from having to work backward, it\u2019s recommended to always wireframe your website for mobile devices first.<\/div>\n<p>Generally, there are a few sizes for different platforms\u2019 wireframes. These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A smartphone screen:<\/strong> 1080px wide x 1920px long<\/li>\n<li><strong>A tablet screen:<\/strong> 8\u201d Tablet &#8211; 800px wide x 1280px long <strong>or<\/strong> 10\u201d Tablet &#8211; 1200px wide x 19200px long<\/li>\n<li><strong>A desktop screen:<\/strong> 768px wide x 1366px long<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Starting from these screen sizes is a good way to get a sense of where to block out the important parts of your website, like your homepage, \u2018above-the-fold\u2019 (the first part of your website people see before they scroll), \u2018Call to Action\u2019 buttons, images, headers, your navigation bar, and so on.<\/p>\n<div class=\"altpull\">Tip: A \u2018Call To Action\u2019, or CTA is a term to describe the thing you want customers to do when they\u2019re on your website. If you want to get more sign-ups, the primary CTA on your website might be buttons, banners, or links that lead to your sign-up page.<\/div>\n<p>Thinking of a website functionally will help your decision-making when you\u2019re laying out your wireframe. Ultimately, your website is designed to inform your user and inspire the actions you want them to take. Wireframes can help you figure this out.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"steptwo\">How to create a wireframe<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_24458\" style=\"width: 794px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24458\" class=\"wp-image-24458\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.logojoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220823135903\/mobile-digital-wireframe-example-600x375.png\" alt=\"mobile digital wireframe example\" width=\"784\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.logojoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220823135903\/mobile-digital-wireframe-example-600x375.png 600w, https:\/\/cdn.logojoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220823135903\/mobile-digital-wireframe-example-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.logojoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220823135903\/mobile-digital-wireframe-example-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.logojoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220823135903\/mobile-digital-wireframe-example-350x219.png 350w, https:\/\/cdn.logojoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220823135903\/mobile-digital-wireframe-example.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 784px) 100vw, 784px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-24458\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: careerfoundry.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Now that you know what a wireframe is, you\u2019re ready to start creating them for <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-715453-3009179.cloudwaysapps.com\/blog\/how-to-make-your-own-website\/\">your website<\/a>. Here\u2019s a step-by-step guide to going from zero to a finished wireframe mockup.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Clarify your business objectives<\/h3>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you\u2019re running a Business-to-Business, Software as a Service (B2B SaaS) blog, and your official priority is to make heinously fat stacks through <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-715453-3009179.cloudwaysapps.com\/blog\/lessons-from-looka-affiliates-how-websiteplanet-makes-it-work\/\">affiliate marketing<\/a>. By outlining your business objectives, you\u2019ll have a better idea of what the function of your website should be.<\/p>\n<p>An affiliate marketing blog, for instance, will have different design and layout requirements from a restaurant website.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Determine your website\u2019s primary function<\/h3>\n<p>Your business goals will help you figure out your website\u2019s primary function. This, in turn, will inform your wireframing process. Maybe you want to gear your website towards increasing the views of your blog. If that\u2019s the case, it makes sense to feature blog posts somewhere early on your website\u2019s homepage and make finding your blog easy.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a news site, your posts would be even more highly prioritized, and likely appear as features above the fold of your website, like <a href=\"https:\/\/cnet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNET\u2019s page layout<\/a>, for example.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if you run an e-Commerce website, it wouldn\u2019t make sense to feature your blog posts so early on (or at all). Instead, your wireframe should be geared towards transactional decisions much earlier, like Kotn\u2019s homepage below.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-24459\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.logojoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220823140155\/kotn-website-homepage-600x299.jpg\" alt=\"kotn website homepage\" width=\"784\" height=\"391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.logojoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220823140155\/kotn-website-homepage-600x299.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cdn.logojoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220823140155\/kotn-website-homepage-1024x510.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.logojoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220823140155\/kotn-website-homepage-768x383.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.logojoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220823140155\/kotn-website-homepage-1536x766.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.logojoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220823140155\/kotn-website-homepage-2048x1021.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.logojoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220823140155\/kotn-website-homepage-350x174.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 784px) 100vw, 784px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"altpull\">Tip: Check out successful websites in your industry and create wireframes based on how they manage to place their images, CTA\u2019s, and text. This will help you figure out a wireframe that covers all the strengths of your competitors&#8217; websites.<\/div>\n<h3>3. Start hand-sketching simple wireframes<\/h3>\n<p>The trick here is to <strong>work fast and keep things simple<\/strong>. Block things out low-resolution, without any text or images at all. Most early-stage wireframes are often just simple hand-drawn layout examples with boxes, buttons, and text areas.<\/p>\n<p>A cool way to get your wireframe started is to fold a piece of letter paper into eighths, then sketch out layout ideas on each eighth. From here, you can quickly eliminate ideas that don\u2019t work, and focus on providing the user with the information they need.<\/p>\n<div class=\"altpull\">Note: In wireframe design,<a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-715453-3009179.cloudwaysapps.com\/blog\/how-to-design-a-logo\/\"> logo design<\/a>, brand identity projects, and even advertising campaigns, professional creatives often start with hand-sketched ideas. From famous <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-715453-3009179.cloudwaysapps.com\/blog\/5-famous-logos-that-were-sketched-on-napkins\/\">logos drawn on napkins<\/a> to drawings of <a href=\"https:\/\/eandvgroup.com\/the-cocktail-napkin-hall-of-fame\/#:~:text=12%20Facebook%20Data,Facebook%E2%80%99s%20data%20centers.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook\u2019s data center<\/a>,\u00a0 creative ideas start simple, and wireframes are no different.<\/div>\n<p>From there, start to think more about the content you need to include and where it would go, plus some simple user decision flows.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Start increasing the resolution of your wireframe<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-24461\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.logojoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220823140600\/website-wireframe-example-600x323.jpg\" alt=\"website wireframe example\" width=\"784\" height=\"423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.logojoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220823140600\/website-wireframe-example-600x323.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cdn.logojoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220823140600\/website-wireframe-example-1024x552.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.logojoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220823140600\/website-wireframe-example-768x414.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.logojoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220823140600\/website-wireframe-example-1536x828.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.logojoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220823140600\/website-wireframe-example-2048x1104.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.logojoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220823140600\/website-wireframe-example-350x189.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 784px) 100vw, 784px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve sketched out a basic layout for your website pages, you can start to map them out in more detail. This is often where designers move to digital platforms like <a href=\"https:\/\/miro.com\/ux-tool\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Miro<\/a> and begin adding context to their wireframes.<\/p>\n<p>Now you can begin to lay out your wireframe according to the specific dimensions you want. Again, it\u2019s generally a good idea to map things out for <strong>mobile first<\/strong>. At this stage, you\u2019ll also start to get a better sense of where information will be chunked for your users, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-715453-3009179.cloudwaysapps.com\/blog\/logo-size-guidelines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">size of logos<\/a>, headers, and images.<\/p>\n<p>It also helps keep things minimal and highlight the most important aspects of your website, without the fluff.<\/p>\n<div class=\"altpull\">Web design progression starts from low-fidelity to high-fidelity wireframe and results in the final design.<\/div>\n<p>Here, you can really start to hone in on user decisions and map out your user flows accordingly. Now is a good time to think about whether or not your user journey is conducive to the goals of your website.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Produce a final wireframe mockup<\/h3>\n<p>As you go through the design process, keep asking yourself whether the layout of your wireframe serves your website\u2019s primary function, and contributes to your goals as a business. Be critical about redundant decisions users might make, e.g. multiple button clicks where just one would do.<\/p>\n<p>Your final mockup aims to add as much resolution as necessary to your wireframe before you go and <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-715453-3009179.cloudwaysapps.com\/blog\/how-to-make-your-own-website\/\">build your website<\/a>. Think of this like the dress rehearsal for your website, before it goes live to an audience.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"stepthree\">15\u00a0 Wireframe examples for websites and mobile<\/h2>\n<p>To give you a sense of what the entire front-end website design process looks like, here are a few wireframe examples, from sketches to finished website mockups with beautiful UI.<\/p>\n<h3>Hand-drawn<\/h3>\n<p>All wireframes start as a rough sketch of what you want the layout to look like.
