Wireframe Page Prototyping
We develop wireframe prototypes for websites of any complexity — from landing pages to product dashboards. These are black-and-white structural diagrams without design: blocks, their arrangement, content hierarchy (Wikipedia). The goal is to lock down interface logic before the designer starts working on visuals. A clickable prototype lets you test user scenarios and catch navigation errors early. We use low-, mid-, and high-fidelity wireframes depending on the task. Our experience shows that wireframes pay for themselves on the very first revision — on one project we saved the client 40,000 rubles by moving a button to the first screen.
How a Wireframe Prototype Prevents Costly Mistakes
Fixing an error at the wireframe stage costs tens of times less than redoing finished design or code. For example, in an e-commerce project, we found that 67% of testers couldn't find the "Apply" button — it was hidden behind a tab. We moved it to the first screen before design started. That saved the client about 40 hours of designer work and 40,000 rubles of budget. We guarantee: after the wireframe stage, you'll have no surprises during design and development.
Fidelity Levels
| Level | Description | Creation Time | Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lo-fi | Rough sketches, rectangles | Hours | Initial structure agreement |
| Mid-fidelity | Structured schematics with real labels | 1–3 days | Most projects |
| High-fidelity | Detailed schematics with exact dimensions | 3–5 days | Complex interfaces, dashboards |
Low-fidelity (lo-fi) — rectangles with labels, can be hand-drawn. Changed without regret.
Mid-fidelity — in Figma or Balsamiq with correct proportions, real headings, and typography. The golden standard.
High-fidelity — with exact dimensions and a conditional color scheme. Used less often.
What We Detail in a Wireframe
Here we address questions that are expensive to change in design or code:
- Content hierarchy — what comes first, what is secondary. For example, social proof block (reviews, logos) on the first screen vs. after the service description.
- Form layout — number of fields, sequence, breakdown into steps.
- Empty states and edge cases — what to show when there is no data (new account, empty cart).
- Adaptation — separate wireframe for mobile version with re-prioritization.
What We Test with the Prototype
Process: analyze business requirements → design structure → draw schematics in Figma → link transitions → test on real users. Testing requires 5–7 people. Navigation errors are discovered in one day. For example, on one project users couldn't find the search bar — it was hidden under an icon. We moved it to the top, and conversion rose by 12%.
Case Study: Electronics E-commerce Store
The client wanted to launch an e-commerce store in 3 months. We built a wireframe prototype of 20 pages in 10 days. During testing, we found that users didn't understand how to add a product to cart from the product page — the button was too small. We fixed it at the prototype stage. Saved about 50,000 rubles in redesign and layout costs.
