Wire Frame Development

Wire frame development for a website is best described by the cage like drawing that outlines the site pages and their relationship with each other. The most important thing to build correctly at the onset of website development is the structure and frame work of the site in relation to the content that each page will carry. SEO inputs are also taken into consideration at this point, and important keywords that would flow from page to page through interlinking.

The objective of wire framing is to hold off graphic design, user interface development, HTML coding and programming until the basic structure of the site is in order. Another purpose of this exercise is to clearly develop the elements of each page, their importance, their placement and how they will link to other pages.

During wire frame development a collection of pages are themed, and the architecture of information flow is designed. Each page is reviewed singularly to gauge the intuitiveness of the page.

In the initial stage of website development, focusing on the wire frame alone will save valuable time and money. The number of iterations required during the user interface development, graphic creation and programming are considerably less if a solid framework of the site is first agreed upon and finalized.

In the event of a site re-design, it helps to know and understand the current website and convert it into a desirable framework through wire framing, to be able to identify the important elements and meet the objectives of re-development of the site.
