How To Make A Wireframe
by | Posted in User Experience Design 5 Comments »This 12-minute video shows new UX designers how to make a basic website wireframe using Omnigraffle 5.0 on a Mac. Windows users will also benefit since you can do a lot of similar things in Visio. The biggest takeaway is to use templates and stencils to speed up your workflow. Having templates and stencils readily available speeds up development time so you can spend more time thinking and less time tweaking. Remember, UX design/IA is good thinking written down. The whole purpose of wireframes is to help the team visualize the system and solve design problems before they start. Please let me know if this video is helpful, and happy wireframing!
