In the previous, opening article of our ‘Planning your WordPress website<\/em>‘ series, we looked at what<\/em> are visual sitemaps, and how<\/em> they can help<\/a>. In this article, we’re going to look at what ‘wireframes<\/em>‘ are how they can help plan our website.<\/p>\n

What is a wireframe?<\/h2>\n

A wireframe is a rudimentary sketch of a web page, helping visualise the actual elements that will need to be on the page.<\/p>\n

It is NOT a full design mockup (that comes later).<\/p>\n

The purpose of the wireframe is to visually account for all<\/em> the elements that you want to occur on your web page. Think of it like cooking a complex meal: the wireframe <\/em>allows us to list out the ingredients that will go into the dish.<\/p>\n
