What are wireframes?
Wireframes are a simple way to plan the layout and structure of your website. They are basically a blueprint for your website, which helps you to plan the overall structure and design of your website before you start to create the actual design.
Why do you need wireframes?
Wireframes are important because they help you to focus on the structure and layout of your website, rather than the design. This is important because the design can be changed later, but the structure and layout of your website need to be planned correctly from the start.
