- See a more recent version of my wireframing process in this video: • How to wireframe a web...
Wireframing is the first stage of the web design process, and in this video I show you how I do it and give you some advice! Please remember to subscribe bit.ly/1aE5UOT
If you've ever wondered how to wireframe a website, or if you want to know how to design a website and you've never heard of wireframing, this video is dedicated to you! Yes, you. Wireframing is the process of laying out the bones or the structure of a website to think about how the information will be organised on the page before you start thinking about colours and fonts and other visual things. Using the wireframe process I teach you in this video you'll be able to generate lots of ideas for different ways to arrange your website and be able to decide on the best one from there.
I hope you enjoy the video! Please make sure you give it a thumbs up if you do. I'm still learning how to make tutorials MY way (not just screen casts) so any feedback is much appreciated. I ant these videos to feel like we're sitting in a room together and I'm showing you what to do, rather than you just looking at my screen as I do something. Does that make sense?
If there's something design-related you're struggling with that you'd like a tutorial on next, let me know!

I love this! I am definitely guilty of skipping straight to the design stage way too often, haha.
Karen Kavett Don't worry I think we all are!!
Very useful. Ive been procrastinating building me a website for a while now, not the least bc I couldnt find anyone to explain important steps in a digestible, quick manner. Love your vids, thank you
Here 4 years late lol but great video! I am an SEO Specialist that started a Web Design and Development firm and our designer didn't like being committed to a company so I watched this to understand what goes into a wireframe of a website! Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and techniques. I am new to wireframing and your tips are extremely helpful! Thanks again!
I love this. Very straight forward and easy to understand.
Love the way you work and plan ahead!
Web design has been something I've experimented since I was 13. I really love it. I'm currently in my third year studying Computer Science, and I would really love to go into front end development instead of back-end. However, because I'm studying Computer Science, I'm obviously only learning the coding side of things, not so much the "design". I really want to know more about the design side as well so I can understand the best of both worlds. Your videos are incredibly helpful to me! I draw a lot, and love that, I'm hoping that will help me a bit too. You're an inspiration to me Charli, I really admire you. :)
Chloe Rose that's awesome Chloe!! I'm trying to get my head around 'teaching' videos like this one so that I can start to make some about design principles and stuff because it sounds like it will really come in handy for you to learn design thinking alongside your development skills. drawing will definitely help a lot, cos you'll be instinctively thinking about composition which is a HUGE part of design :)
You're honestly a great teacher, that's why I enjoy your videos; you make things easy to understand. That's incredibly kind of you, yes they will come in SO handy! I enjoy every video you put out there :) Thanks for putting out consistently amazing content :D
Thanks Charlie for your sharing of knowledge!
I'm training to become a web design/developer after teaching design for the past 6 years. The "crazy 8" technique is something I used to use with my students to encourage them to explore design concepts and generate a range of ideas. Great stuff.
Thanks for sharing! I've been watching quite a few wireframing tutorials this week. You explain it every efficiently and I like that.
+Oscar Zezatti glad you found it useful Oscar! :)
Really great process. We're redesigning a page, so I am going to audit the content and then work from that list. The Crazy 8s idea on tabloid paper is fantastic for brainstorming! The bigger the paper, the more space your brain feels it has to get those ideas out!
Thanks for this! This is so useful for my uni assignment at the moment. Love your design videos!
I just loved how well you explained everything.
+Yashwanth Yash thank you!
Very, really, very much grateful to you for this video, it helped me a lot and allowed me to organize information in my head, as well as see how others do the same.
This was so helpful, thank you! I'm actually working on a website myself and this just got me really inspired :)
+HannaCreative awesome Hanna!
So glad I stumbled on your videos! Just getting my head around wireframing and so far haven't found anyone else who doesn't go straight into techy talk I don't understand!
glad I could help Ellie!
I'm thinking about changing careers to UX design. This was a really helpful insight. Thanks. Also, you are very likable and easy to listen to.

Fascinating! Very similar to the process I use in print design. It is helpful to realize the similarities as I'm considering changing sector. Your tutorial style is great!
piney silver yes you're right!! there are definite similarities :) I too switched from print to web design (and still do a bit of print). it was a fun change to make! Wishing you all the best if you do decide to make the change :)
Love this, I really need to redesign my website and this is helping me kick it into gear.
