Getting Started with Wireframing

Classroom

What You’ll Learn

Wireframes aren't the final medium or design for a website, but they're often an important step to getting there. Anyone can wireframe: product managers, designers, developers, clients. Learn how to use wireframes to communicate your ideas along with some lessons I've learned along the way.

In this class we'll cover:

Planning your content
Language of wireframes
UI patterns
Fidelity
Tools and resources

You'll also get a chance to wireframe yourself!

This class is good for designers who jump into Photoshop too quickly, co-founders who wear a lot of hats, or anyone else in the web industry who wants a better understanding of how to execute this part of the process. No prior experience with wireframing necessary, although a background in the product or web industry recommended.

Computers aren't required unless you prefer 'em. I'll bring pen and paper.
