Wireframes allow for rapid testing

Wireframes allow for rapid testing

So, you have some unique ideas about a future product design, the team is on board, and the client is excited. How can you verify that those ideas will satisfy your users' needs and help them complete their tasks efficiently? Wireframing is the cheapest tool that designers can use for rapid testing, evaluating their assumptions, and adjusting concepts until they meet users' expectations.

You don't need to dwell on images, colors, or interactive elements to get user feedback right away. Wireframes are usually a single-use tool that should be easy to craft and update. You can attach wireframes to surveys, use them while interviewing users, or share them with clients — do whatever you think will help you get feedback, then make adjustments, and test again.

Pro Tip: Sketch fast and don't get attached to your wireframes — they're meant for testing and are part of an iterative process.
