Wireframing

I was tasked with creating wireframes for the backend of a site that Andrew and Aine are working on (for which I also did use cases, as documented here: http://emermurphyworkplacement.blogspot.ie/2013/09/use-cases.html ) 

The programming team needed a starting point to develop the user management system for the site administrators. There was also to be a screen for configuration and reports. I had no information about what kind of reports would be generated so I did not design this screen. The config screen did not need to be complicated - I simply designed it with a radio button to be clicked or not, depending on whether or not the site needed to be offline. I created user management screens, first showing the list of users and then providing options within the individual users.

I used Gliffy.com to create the wireframes. This is an online wireframing tool. It has a lot of options for shapes etc but isn't always user-friendly. Seaghan wanted to use an online wireframing tool but, having used the downloadable version of the Pencil Project, I find that better. It can be very difficult to find the perfect wireframing tool, however.
