Wireframes - From Screen Concepts to User Interaction

Mia will discuss an approach to take Wireframes (screen concepts) and use information architecture principals to move them a step further to display the user interaction and develop user scenarios to build a prototype that reflects what users' need and how they want to interact with the web. Mia will explain how this approach will help designers and programmers to gain a better insight into how the system will work and communicate the understanding of user needs to both users and the business.

  • Difficulty: General
