Cloud fish believes that wire framing and prototyping is an important step in the design process of building an application
At Cloud Fish we use a mixture of wire frames and interactive mock ups so are clients can see what their applications will look and feel before we start development. Wireframing allows Cloud Fish to define the information hierarchy of the design, making it easier plan the layout according to how to best process the information. It also gives the stakeholders something tangible to see and discuss and it allows Cloud Fish to make changes at earlier stage and thus saving time and cost on later changes
Wireframes are created for the purpose of arranging elements to best accomplish a particular purpose. The purpose is usually being informed by a business objective and a creative idea. The wireframe depicts the page layout or arrangement of the website’s content, including interface elements and navigational systems, and how they work together
