[Sigia-l] Visio, wireframes discussion

[Ray Sharma]

Our role is to get a concept across to others how we do it depends on the
user and the tools we use should cater for their needs and the timelines of
any project.

It does not matter what we use as long as the results are understood and the
final product is delivered as expected. I would never say there is one
tool/technology or approach to doing things and I doubt there will be
consensus on this - ever.

What we do have are common methodologies on the type of information we need
to deliver, sitemaps, flow diagrams, wire frames and prototypes. These are
the most important things clients want to see, they don't really care how we
create them and neither should we.

Those experienced among us will use tools and techniques to get the message
across best and in the time allotted. Flipping between paper, Visio,
Freehand, CSS layout, PowerPoint and so on depending on the level of
understanding, creativity and interactivity a client (or your team) need to
understand in delivering their product.
