The whiteboard represents the initial, free-form brainstorming and planning phase of a web design project.
- Ideation: A designer uses the whiteboard to rapidly sketch concepts, map out sitemaps, and structure information architecture with sticky notes, diagrams, and text.
- Wireframing: Low-fidelity wireframes are drawn to establish the basic layout and hierarchy of the website’s pages before focusing on visual details.
- Collaboration: A shared digital whiteboard, like Miro or FigJam, allows team members to contribute ideas in real-time, no matter their location.
