**INTRO**
Since there were multiple pages/versions/sketches of wireframes from last year... I
thought it might be helpful to start one central digital prototype of
our wireframe files and to work together off of them until we have site
structure and navigation finalized. This also benefits me because I have
been training to learn Figma & Adobe XD.
Figma is free for all (so that's what I used). It is a collaborative web
layout software that will allow us to all view the wireframes, make
notes, move items around.... It does not need to replace WordPress for
design layout, this is just for the wireframe step of our process.
This is not intended to reflect the aesthetic goals of the site at all.
It is just to make sure we all understand the web structure and
navigation before we get into detailed content and design. If we nail
this down, before we start working in Word Press on an actual design, it
should ensure more efficiency and success.
**ACTION**

When you click on the above link you will have 1 of 2 possible views.
1. a series of thumbnails of each page
2. the landing page mock-up
If you got view 1, near the top right there is a share button, right
next to that is an Arrow button. Click that and it should take you to
the landing page.
Once on the Landing page you should be able to navigate around to the varied wireframe pages.
Near the top left there is a talking bubble icon, it allows you to click on anything on any page and make comments.
I am unsure of all the functionality you will have as viewers, but I
think you may also have edit abilities to drag items around and edit
text fields....''
The components I included so far are from the existing wireframe
sketches. I anticipate all 3 of you will have a ton of feedback about
what to add, where to place things... That's the beauty of Figma (so I
am told)...
Note: I left the Partner Universities off of this wireframe because you
said you were going to discuss where to place them and which to
include.... but they will not be forgotten
**GOAL**
My main goal with this exercise is to nail down pages and navigation. I
did my best to work off the original wireframes and to ensure that the
common information is where it should be VS the information specific to
each stakeholder type. This goal could be achieved a number of different
ways, I just took a stab at it so we have a starting point when we talk
next. As I understand it from our call the other day, MacKenzie is
going to take the lead on this research & decision.
**DISCLAIMER**
If this process/app doesn't work out... then no harm done! It didn't
take me long, but I read online it was a good way to kick things off
with wireframes. My goal is to make things easier not harder, so if you
hate it, we will gracefully move on another way :)
The videos I watched made this sound ideal... so now we will see....
