A wireframe is a low fidelity representation of a web page that shows the basic elements of the page. They are not interactive, and do not show much detail, but create a simple design that guides the project. Once it starts becoming interactive, it becomes a prototype.
What to Include in a Wireframe?

All elements in the wireframe are usually displayed and organised to consider the following:
- What will exactly be displayed in this page?
- How will the elements of this page be put together?
