How to
create a wireframe
Wireframes are an integral part of any product or app design process. But they can take a lot of time and resources to create. Using wireframing tools like Visily you can create mobile and website wireframes with no design skills and in a lot less time.
First of all, why wireframe?
A wireframe is the quickest way to validate your product ideas! It serves as the foundational blueprint for a digital product or website. It’s a framework for further development, that shows the structure, layout, and functions before design or coding starts.
A wireframing tool is made to help expedite this process.

04.Review, feedback, and iterate
Once you’ve got your initial wireframes down, it’s time to move ahead.
Validate the ideas with stakeholders, fellow products, and even potential users. See how your wireframes stack up against usability rules and design best practices, and receive real-time feedback right on your designs by sharing access with team members.
You can also quickly create basic prototype flows (interactive wireframes) to gather user feedback and validate the functionality. You can then simulate the user experience more accurately, giving stakeholders and users a better understanding of how the final product will function. Plus, it is an opportunity to iron out any kinks in the design before moving forward.
05.Finalize and hand-off
Congratulations! You’ve reached the final stage of the process and are ready to see your ideas take flight.
With Visily, you can easily hand off the file to the design team. Just click on the Share button and choose the format you want to export, such as PNG, JPG, PDF, or even export as editable designs in Figma.
But wait, there’s more! If your Visily designs already look good to go, you can take them up a notch by directly handing them off to the development team and letting them inspect them.
