Definition from Matthew Weprin
“A rough guide for the layout of a website or app, either done with pen and paper or with wireframing software. The wireframe depicts the page layout and shows how the elements work functionally. It focuses on what a web interface does, not what it looks like. Wireframes can be sketches or computer images.”
