]]> Comment on Wireframes Are Evil by john32mac http://www.reinventnow.com/2006/10/16/wireframes-are-evil/#comment-71 Fri, 24 Nov 2006 20:46:09 +0000 http://www.reinventnow.com/2006/10/16/wireframes-are-evil/#comment-71 Okay, on the wireframes discussion, many of the designers in your links argue that getting wireframes closer to the look-feel of the client site is better. I think that wireframes should NOT look anything like the currently-designed or the to-be-designed site. When the wireframe is mixed (or confused) with design then the funtionality of the wireframe has been missed. Either do a wireframe (black/white boxes and navigational structure) or do a mockup. But don't confuse the two. Please, don't mix them.

But I think there&#8217;s context to be had here (and this is speaking completely in terms of web development). For example, how useful is it for anyone to rewrite database code (since we have all the nice frameworks now) or build a javascript framework (e.g. for ajax work or dom manip) from scratch?

Whether it be in the realm of software development or the sphere of ideas, the wisdom of crowds is alive and well. Tracy asks about the role of the small business in this idea and it is a good question. I wish I had more data so as to provide a break down of contributions made to various projects, whether the majority are backed by bigger companies (say, an IBM) vs. smaller ones (say 37signals size, or smaller).
