Wireframes considered harmful … under some circumstances

Web Standards Group Sydney presentation: On the 11th of March 2009 Tom Voirol spoke about an alternative development process for websites.

Tom said wireframes are harmful. But he didn't really mean it. What he was trying to say was that you shouldn't present the customer with wireframes and expect them to understand them in the same way we do as designers and developers. Customers don't speak the language of wireframes.

Tom suggested that we should create high fidelity prototypes to present to our customers.

The Blog has moved

I will no longer be blogging on the Wordpress servers, instead I have set up my blog here on my own server so I have full control over the domain name and the content.

(the following was originally posted November 22nd, 2008)

With this blog, I’m hoping to

  • Learn how WordPress works
  • Create a list of great resources and links,
  • Improve my writing skills, and
  • Keep track of all my ‘projects’
