Stage One of Website Development
Drawing wireframes prior to choosing a theme is important as it helps you to narrow down the criteria for your theme search. I was struggling with this part a lot since I could not visualize the website without the context of any particular theme. Professor Smith recommended to draw a wireframe and see for myself that it will be helpful, so I decided to find a useful online tool for drawing wireframes. I discovered 'MockFlow', a Google-based online drawing tool that is very easy to use and facilitates in visualizing the blueprint of your future website. To get started, simply go to www.mockflow.com and click on 'Create Account'. Keep in mind you do not need an account if you use Gmail, you can simply log in with your Gmail information. When you're logged in, click on "Create New". I chose "new from scratch' rather than from template or layout since I found it more flexible for my needs. This is a screenshot of my wireframe. Keep in mind you can only have one wireframe at a time to use the site for free, but you can also upgrade and create an unlimited amount of wireframes. Hope it helps!
