Key Vocabulary:
Design: A design is a plan, either written or drawn, that gives instructions for how something should look and function. For example, a design for a dress tells you how that dress would be made, and a design for an iPhone app will show that the app will work. The people who create these plans are designers.
Wireframe: A wireframe is a way of planning the structure and function of a website or application using simple boxes and lines. Each wireframe is like a puzzle that tells you what will go where, and how all the pieces will fit together.
