Introduction
What is Wireframing?
Wireframing is the creation of a simplified visual guide that represents the
skeletal framework of a digital interface.
What is Prototyping?
Prototyping involves creating an early, functional model of a product to test and
refine its features and usability.

Importance of Iterative Design and
Feedback
Iterative Design:
• Involves continuously refining and improving the design based on feedback
and testing.
• Helps in identifying usability issues early in the design process.
Benefits:
• User-Centered Design: Ensures the product meets the needs and
expectations of users.
• Reduced Costs: Early detection of issues can save time and resources.
• Enhanced Usability: Iterative improvements lead to a more intuitive and
user-friendly interface.

Importance of Feedback
Sources of Feedback:
• User Testing: Observing real users interact with the prototype.
• Stakeholder Reviews: Gathering input from project stakeholders and team members.
• Surveys and Interviews: Direct feedback from potential users about their experience.
Implementing Feedback:
• Analyze and Prioritize: Assess the feedback to determine its impact on the design.
• Iterate and Refine: Make necessary adjustments and improvements to the prototype.
• Validate Changes: Test the revised prototype to ensure the issues have been
resolved.
