Description

If you haven't done wireframing before, you might see it as a bit of a waste of time.

"Why do all that when I can just jump right into building?"

I used to think the same, but now wireframing is my biggest time saver in the building process. A couple hours in wireframing can reliably save you a dozen hours in the building process.


And a little preparation with good wireframes makes everything else more clear and easy. You'll enjoy the work more and get better results.

This course will dispel misconceptions about wireframing so that you can use it for what it's good for - saving time!


You'll learn why Balsamiq is the best tool for the job and how to use it.


We'll wireframe a real-world app idea from scratch, so you can see the practical step by step process.


And then we'll extract even more value from our wireframe by using it to plan a data-model.


Finally, I'll show you bunch of different real-world examples of wireframes I've used at work, and in personal projects.


This course is meant for people with busy schedules - it moves fast, giving you just enough practical tips and mental models to get going on your own.


It's going to give you a new tool in your toolbelt to build faster, plan better, and communicate clearer.

Who this course is for:

  • Designers who want to build UIs faster
  • Entrepreneurs who want to flesh out app ideas
  • Developers who want to build more efficiently
