Wireframe maker

Boxes, lines and placeholder text. Deliberately crude, because a wireframe that looks finished invites feedback on the wrong thing. This does not try to replace Figma and would be worse if it did.

Building one

From blank canvas to finished diagram

  1. 1Place a browser or mobile frame to fix the canvas you are designing into.
  2. 2Block out the regions — header, content, sidebar, footer — before any detail.
  3. 3Add controls where they belong. Greyscale keeps attention on structure.
  4. 4Annotate anything the layout cannot say on its own.

Where it helps

Good uses

  • Early layout discussions

    Cheap enough to throw away, which is the point.

  • Requirements gathering

    Faster than describing a screen in prose.

  • Developer handover

    When the structure matters more than the styling.

  • Teaching layout

    Grid and hierarchy, without the distraction of colour.

Questions

Asked often

Is this a design tool?
No. It is intentionally lightweight, for structural sketches. For visual design, use a design tool.
Why is everything greyscale?
Low fidelity is a feature. Colour and polish pull feedback towards styling before the structure is settled.
Can I make it interactive?
No. There is no prototyping, no linking between screens and no click-through.
Can I export it?
Project files work now. Image and PDF export arrive with the export phase.
