User Interface (UI)

Today's Mission

User Flow

[toc]

A user flow is the path taken by a typical user on an app or a website, so they can complete a task from start to finish. Before you design screens of an app, you need to understand how users can effectively move through the app overall.

Wireframe = blueprint

[toc]

A wireframe is a skeletal blueprint or framework that outlines the basic design and functions of a user interface (such as a website or application). The goal of a wireframe is to quickly and easily communicate:

  1. The contents of the page
  2. The page structure and layout
  3. The app’s functions

Mockup = wireframe + stylistic

A mockup is the next, more in-depth iteration of the wireframe outline. A mockup is a static wireframe that includes more stylistic and visual UI details to present a realistic model of what the final page or application will look like.

A good way to think of it is that a wireframe is a blueprint and a mockup is a visual model.

A mockup typically includes additional visual details such as:

Mockups are useful tools for understanding and communicating what the final interface should look like and gives stakeholders a chance to preview design and style choices before committing to building the app in a functional prototype.

Prototype = interact

[toc]

A prototype is an early model of a product or design built to test the concept.

A prototype is typically a functional and interactive simulation that includes all the stylistic details intended for the final deliverable. This model allows developers to see how their product works in a real environment and test the usability of their designs.
