FAQs

  • What’s the Wireframing course about?

    The Wireframing course was developed in collaboration with Balsamiq, a leading wireframing tool used by designers worldwide. The course will cover the key benefits of wireframing, including how it helps designers and teams visualize and define the functionality of the product and test their ideas with users.


    Additionally, the course will provide practical tips on how to incorporate wireframing into your design process, as well as how to annotate wireframes effectively to ensure all team members can benefit from them.

    The course will also cover key definitions and concepts associated with wireframing, such as layout, content, and user flows. Lastly, the course will provide several use cases for wireframes in different industries, and practical guidelines on how to create wireframes from scratch using wireframing tools and adding copy even if real content isn't available yet.

  • Why does a UX designer need to have wireframing skills?

    A UX designer needs to have wireframing skills because wireframes serve as a visual representation of the skeletal framework of an app or website. Wireframing is an essential component of the design process as it helps designers and teams refine key design elements and identify potential issues before moving on to more detailed stages of design. By creating wireframes, UX designers can test their ideas with users, visualize and define the functionality of the product, and ensure that the final product meets the needs of users.


    In addition, wireframing is a great tool for encouraging collaboration and bringing all team members on board with product development. UX designers can use wireframes to effectively communicate their ideas to clients, developers, visual designers, and copywriters, as well as receive feedback from team members to improve the design.

  • Do I need special software installed on my computer to take this course?

    No, you don't need special software installed on your computer to take this course. You can use your favorite wireframing tool to practice the course. It's worth mentioning that the course was prepared using Balsamiq, so using this tool may make it easier for learners to follow along with the examples and exercises provided in the course. However, as mentioned earlier, using Balsamiq is not a requirement for taking the course, and learners can use any wireframing tool of their choice to practice the concepts covered in the course.
