What is a wireframe?

A wireframe is a simple layout of a page, drawn without colors or final images, that shows what goes where.

Why it matters

Wireframes settle structure and content order before visual design starts. Changing a box in a wireframe takes minutes; changing a finished page takes hours.

Example

A homepage wireframe shows the headline, a row of three benefits, client logos, and a call to action as gray blocks.
