Importance of a Wireframe in Web Design
Many web developers have admitted that the correct and fundamental step to start work on any web project is to start with wireframing. Many companies initially in their enthusiasm to complete the project fast jump to photo shop and other areas but realize that they are taking more time and wasting more time in redoing various segments by not following the well-trodden fundamental procedure.
Every customer new or old without practical touch, tells you about his great idea of the site but when actually his idea is put on a wireframe and presented to him he is the first to modify this and suggest changes. Thus what may appear as great final thought of presentation many times gets drastically altered. Using a wireframe at the start to present and clarify ideas is the best starting point for a project.
Always it is best to tackle the fundamentals before coming to the cosmetics. Once the fundamental theme and presentation is developed then the site can be worked on to attract the customers. If the web developer tries to present the owner with a semi-developed site with all graphics and color, many times the owner gets carried away by the side attractions and does not give attention to the basic layout. This can seriously affect the impact of the site on future customers. To avoid this wrong focus from fundamentals it is essential to present the owners with wire frame display at the start. It is important that the client should not miss the focus on the important parts of the theme and get carried away by not so fundamental aspects like color of the particular area which can be easily changed. It is also important to study the likes and dislikes of every customer for whom you have to make the web site. Each customer has his own unique ideas, pet preferences, and favorite colors. Try to accommodate the preferences in the web site right at the wireframe stage. Follow the way the client wishes to communicate his thoughts to you to make a great web site for him.
Every professional nowadays has to work on a time schedule. He has to allocate his time to accommodate all the jobs that he has on hand. It is imperative that the project is completed in time and the customer is fully satisfied. Initial interaction with the customer at the wire frame stage helps you in planning and scheduling the time element so that the customer is fully satisfied with the product. Any potential problem can be solved and settled by mutual agreement at the wire frame stage itself.
Use of available software for various inputs helps considerably not only in saving time but also making a beautiful presentation.
