The Guide to Wireframing

What are the advantages and disadvantages of sketching wireframes over wireframe software?

Some advantages of sketching wireframes compared to using software to create them is their wide range in medium that can be used and it's availibilty to use it. You can essentially use any wriitng tool and paper and get an idea down quickly and change it just as quickly. You're only limit is your imagination. However, some disadvantages is that it can be seen as "unpolished" and vague compared to a more streamline, better quality wireframe software. Due to it's more laborous nature, it's much more effort to add changes to your wireframe neatly. It lacks standardizaton and collaboration accessibility.

Write a paragraph on which type of wireframing style would work best with your project and why.

I think the wireframing style of low-fidelity with the use of graphic design software like procreate on my iPad is the best for my project. I think this because my idea still isn't as fleshed out as I'd like and I'm a more hands on person who likes to write out my ideas physically. However by using electronic softwares, I can still write out ideas but do so in a neater manner. By doing a lower fidelity style I can also still consider many different possibilities for my project. Also, my project idea isn't soemthing that I want to be too complicated, so I dont need to do a complicated wireframe layout with all the xtraw whistles and bells. I want to make a simple but helpful art website for UTD ATEC students specifically. What's more fitting for art students than using a more artistic approach by digitally drawing out my wireframe myself?

I forgot to add a section for a FAQ, but that will be included. I'm going to switch out the about us with the FAQ, and keep the homepage about us section.

Supplies

For a connecting page, I could include links to where students can online purchase the supplies or an address for in-person.

Connect

I realized a discussion forum might be out of my skill level, so I might just prototype what it'd look like in my website.
