Module 3 of 5Lesson 2 of 2~12 min

Wireframes, screen states and heuristic critique

A screen mocked up only in its ideal state often hides gaps that users will find for you. This lesson helps you produce low-fidelity wireframes that cover every situation a screen can be in, then put them through usability heuristics before any test with users.

Lesson objective

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to produce low-fidelity wireframes that cover every state of a screen, and critique them with Nielsen's heuristics before showing them to users.

Topics covered

  • wireframes
  • screen states
  • Nielsen heuristics
  • heuristic evaluation
  • UX mockups
