Wireframes allow for rapid testing
So you have some unique ideas for a product design, the team is on board, and the client is excited. But how do you verify that those ideas will actually satisfy your users' needs and help them complete tasks efficiently? Wireframing is the cheapest tool designers can use for rapid testing, allowing you to evaluate assumptions and adjust concepts until they meet user expectations.
You don't need polished images, colors, or interactive elements to gather meaningful feedback. Wireframes are typically a single-use tool designed to be quick to create and easy to update. Attach them to surveys, use them during user interviews, or share them directly with clients, whatever helps you get feedback fastest. 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.
