Simple wireframe example

All of the important elements of a web page should be represented in your website wireframe. Use simple shapes instead of actual graphics, and label them. These elements include:

  • Navigation: Buttons for users to visit the main sections of your site.
  • Company logo: Can just be represented by a box.
  • Content areas: Where will your different sections of content appear?
  • Search boxes
  • User login areas
