Significance of Wire-Framing in Web-Development

• By iBaroody LLC

What is a Wire-Frame?

• In layman terms, wire-frames are the groundwork
  which is done before implementing the creative
  design.
• Once the site-map has been decided, wireframes
  are designed in order to outline and place
  elements of a website in black and white layouts.
• These elements include site features, page
  elements, conversion areas and navigation.
  Wire-frames allow you to see structural placement
  of all the website elements.

Common practice which should not be common

• Many web development companies in Lebanon and
  other places, tend to leave out the wire-framing
  stage and directly jump on to creative aspect of
  web-development.
• The rationale behind this step is the notion that
  client might not understand the meaning and
  objective of wire-frames. So, why spend time and
  energy on it?
• But, this is like going ahead to build a
  sky-scraper without making sure the location of
  the apartments in it.
• The next slide throws light on several reasons
  why you should not skip the wire-frame stage.

Visually clear display of site-map

• Site maps, especially the larger ones, could be a
  bit vague to understand. Seeing a site-map in a
  wire-frame removes distractions and turns the
  abstract nature of a flow chart into something
  tangible and real.
• It is an important step to ensure that the
  process of web-development which is going to
  begin is aligned according to the clients
  expectations.

5
Crucial to improve usability

• Wire-frames help in identifying the flaws in
  site-architecture, thus paving way for
  development of a website which has user-friendly
  features.
• It showcases page layouts at their core and
  enables everyone to look objectively at a
  websites ease of use, naming of links,
  conversion paths, feature placement and
  navigation placement.

6
Identify scope of content growth

• In the beginning, you might have 10 products to
  sell. But in case you plan to expand your
  business further, there might be an increase in
  your product catalogue.
• This would also mean growth in content.
  Wire-frames identify areas of possible growth in
  content and allows its accommodation without
  affecting site structure, web-design and
  usability.

INTEGRATE CHANGES SEAMLESSLY

• Wire-frames are a great way to buy time to
  accommodate changes suggested by the clients and
  save costs of making changes repetitively.
• Full-design mock-ups require a lot of rework as
  compared to making changes at wire-frame stage.
• One can deal with one element at a time instead
  of combining everything together. Elements can be
  listed as layout, functionality, branding,
  creativity etc.

8
Timely completion of project

• As mentioned earlier, wire-framing allows changes
  at the initial stage of website development. This
  helps save time and complete the project before
  the deadline.
•  Additionally, theres more clarity in terms of
  development, content-creation, functionality.
  Minimum requirements of changes once the website
  is ready proves to be beneficial for web
  development company as well as the client.
