= Pidgin Site Wireframes = Blend Interactive has generated a set of wireframes for the new site. Please have a look and make some comments here to help guide us in the right direction. The purpose of the wireframe stage is to consider the structure and content of the site without any consideration for design; once we've reached some rough consensus on the contents, we can get the designers involved in creating the actual look and feel. At this point we're focusing on where to put things, and why to put them there. I've broken the wireframe document up into sections below, but [http://blendinteractive.com/demo/pidgin/pidgin_wireframes.pdf here's the whole document] if that's easier to read. == User Groups == [http://blendinteractive.com/demo/pidgin/intro.pdf User Analysis] === Questions === * Do these groups accurately represent the expected audience of the site? * Is there anything that should be added to this list? * Other questions/comments? == Site Map == [http://blendinteractive.com/demo/pidgin/sitemap.pdf Proposed Site Map] === Questions === * Anything else that should be added to the site map? * Other questions/comments? == Home Page == [http://blendinteractive.com/demo/pidgin/home.pdf Home Page Wireframe and Notes] === Questions === * What's the best way to describe Pidgin in the shortest amount of text?
