Wireframes

The Guide to Wireframing

What are the advantages and disadvantages of sketching wireframes over wireframe software?

Advantages to sketching wireframes over using a wireframe software are:

• Lower Cost
• More Options in the medium ie. pens, markers, pencils, etc
• You don't have to learn any sofware or tools
• Less Structured giving the designer more freedom
• Able to change scale

Cons to sketching wireframes thought are:

• No standardization is assured when sketching due to designer error
• Can't Include Fonts or formatting
• Cant easily add something into the middle of the wireframe or edit
• Limited ability for others to work on the wireframe if needed
• Limited in Detail

Write a paragraph on which type of wireframing style would work best with your project and why.

The best method for wireframing for me and especially with this particular project would be to use a wireframe software. The project I am trying to create has a lot of design elements that reflect specific brands and designers and I feel using a software to help design a website would be the best option. It would help clarify specifics going into the project and allow more details to be seen that may not fit on a sketch or whiteboard. I also am already familiar with Adobe XD a software used for wireframing, making it easier as I don't need to learn anything new.
