But simply describing to them verbally or textually for the targeted feature to be built may be quite challenging for their imagination. Wireframing can be extremely helpful in squaring that circle, as it can be served as a \"show, don't tell\"visual mock-up tool for confirming of system design ideas with customers.  \nWhat is a Wireframe?  \nWireframes are screen sketches of a system, sometimes referred to as a blueprint or skeleton. They are created for the purpose of presenting and explaining system design ideas to customers, which ultimately leads to a consensus on the ideas proposed.  \nWireframes show \"just enough\" information associated with the feature proposed. Each wireframe comprises basic graphic elements that represent the screen components, or the placeholders of screen components. A wireframe depicts screen layout and how screen content is arranged. It focuses on what a screen does and how users will interact with the system to achieve his need, instead of how the final screen will really look like.  \nBefore we go further, let's take a look at a wireframe created based on [youtube.com](youtube.com)  \n[https://www.visual-paradigm.com/learning/handbooks/agile-handbook/wireframe.jsp](https://www.visual-paradigm.com/learning/handbooks/agile-handbook/wireframe.jsp) Page 1 of 8  \nVisual Paradigm Handbook  \nWireframe  \nAs you can see, a wireframe is just that simple and straight forward. Everyone could understand it without difficulties. It helps development team explain how users will interact with the web site easily.  \nWireframe is only a blueprint  \nA wireframe is only a low-fidelity version of a user interface and are not meant to be a representation of real screen. Wireframes are intended to be used to demonstrate the functionalities, user interactions and screen flows, without explicitly specifying how screen components should look like and how the components should behave in order to achieve the highest usability.  \nWireframe examples  \nHere is a web wireframe example for a home page:  \nHere are some wireframe examples for Android apps:  \n[https://www.visual-paradigm.com/learning/handbooks/agile-handbook/wireframe.jsp](https://www.visual-paradigm.com/learning/handbooks/agile-handbook/wireframe.jsp) Page 2 of 8  \nVisual Paradigm Wireframe  \nHere is an iPad wireframe example for an iPad app:  \nHandbook  \nHere is an iPhone wireframe example for an iPhone app:  \n[https://www.visual-paradigm.com/learning/handbooks/agile-handbook/wireframe.jsp](https://www.visual-paradigm.com/learning/handbooks/agile-handbook/wireframe.jsp) Page 3 of 8  \nVisual Paradigm Handbook  \nWireframe  \nFinally, here is a wireframe example for a desktop application:  \nBenefits of using wireframe  \nClarify user interface  \nClients may not understand technical screen design jargons like slider, flip box, bootstrap, etc. Wireframe comprises basic graphic elements that everyone can understand, helping the clients to know how the features will function and how they can interact with the system to achieve what they want.  \n[https://www.visual-paradigm.com/learning/handbooks/agile-handbook/wireframe.jsp](https://www.visual-paradigm.com/learning/handbooks/agile-handbook/wireframe.jsp) Page 4 of 8  \nVisual Paradigm Handbook  \nWireframe  \nEarly consideration of usability  \nUser experience (UX) is an important consideration in every software nowadays. The use of wireframes in requirements capturing brings the consideration of user experience to the beginning of project. Without developing any prototypes or drawing any real screen design, users can still experience how the system will work.  \nCost-efficient  \nIt takes time and expertise to create full-blown, high-fidelity screen designs, which end up causing a large expense. Wireframing is a quick and inexpensive way to create basic screen sketches.
