subject: Importance Of Developing Wireframes By The Website Designing Companies In India [print this page] When you are given the task of making a website and you begin the exercise of collecting all the information, at the same time you also begin to develop an insight into how the website shall be developed and how the content shall be organized in it? One of the most common ways of simplifying this rather complex aspect of website designing and arrangement of various elements is that of developing the wireframes, also called mock-ups. Web design companies in India and elsewhere in the world, use this method of simplifying the designing process.
Wireframes can be considered as a skeleton of a website. It shows what all parts of a website are connected to what other parts. Some of the important uses of developing these at the planning stage are:
1. These help in the depiction of page layout. It shows what all elements shall be incorporated on a particular webpage, where and of what size. So, this depicts the arrangement of the content of website.
2. Since it can be considered as a skeleton of website, it also shows the navigation structure. In fact, it is used a good deal in developing the navigation structure of the website, using its elements.
3. As the position and navigational connectivity of each element is clear on website, it also helps in identifying the various functions which need to be developed for the various sections of the website. In this respect, these are helpful in establishing functional interconnections.
4. Wireframes or mock-ups enable faster development of the website since all the areas of working are clearly brought forth and the design and development team knows how work-activity shall be undertaken.
5. These connect the informational architecture with the visual architecture. By informational architecture, one refers to all the information which is required to be put in a particular way into the website. And, visual architecture refers to the actual design of the website which the users see. Wireframes are used as bridge between these two by the web design India firms for designing complex websites.
6. These help in easy understanding and planning of interconnections among different parts of a website. With these, it possible to clearly establish which all pages shall show what all information and how is that connected with the other parts.
7. It is possible to develop and execute a comprehensive strategy which meets this requirement.
To summarise the abovementioned points, mock-ups are used for the purpose of creating information design, navigation design and interface design of a website. This can be done using as simple a thing as a pen and paper to far more advanced commercial tools and software which are available from the third parties.
