Why you need a wireframe for your website

When I remember my first steps in web design and development, I smile. In my initial enthusiasm, I thought: Designing and implementing a website couldn't be that difficult. 😅Spoiler alert: But it is.

I threw myself into the design process without thinking about pre-planning. Implementing the design in Figma seemed so intuitive to me that I thought I would create the structural structure in the meantime. The result? A page that I rebuilt 5 more times in the end and lost a lot of time.

The naive assumption:

At the beginning of my web design career, the idea of wireframes and sitemaps was simply uninteresting. Why should I spend valuable time doing this? I thought I could design the page layout in the process of implementation. A clear strategy seemed like a superfluous delay on the way to my new homepage.

The hard lesson‍

Reality quickly caught up with me. During the creation process, it became clear that my lack of focus on pre-planning had an impact on the end product. Constant adjustments and changes followed. The navigation was unclear and I had no real concept.

The insight:

That was the turning point where I took a closer look at wireframes and sitemaps. I realized that they are really essential for a strategic website that is designed to achieve your own goals.

From uncertainty to certainty

The change was amazing. I started using Figma and Webflow in combination with wireframes and sitemaps. This enabled me to define a strategy from the start. I was able to visualize the user experience, optimize navigation, and focus on key elements — even before a single pixel was created.

The results were remarkable. Site development was smoother, faster and changes were minimized, and above all, my creativity flourished in an environment characterized by clarity and organization.
