What is Wireframe?
A wireframe is a basic visual guide showing the structure and layout of a page or screen. It focuses on content placement and user flow without detailed design.
Definition
A wireframe is a low-fidelity sketch or diagram that outlines the basic structure of a page or application screen. Wireframes show where elements go (navigation, content areas, buttons) without colors, fonts, or detailed visuals. They help teams agree on layout and user flow before investing in detailed design. Wireframes can be hand-drawn, created in tools like Figma or Balsamiq, or built as simple HTML.
