I feel like a moron for asking this, because clearly at least 18 people liked it enough to upvote without explanation, but... Why would I want to do this...?

- zachallaun 16y agoWhile I am largely asking the same thing, the only bit of answer I could find came from the video: "As you can see, the wireframe does expose a lot of the structural aspects of the underlying page, which can be useful for analysis."
- jopas 16y agoHi zachallaun, please see my response to mcantor below - hope that clarifies a bit.
- zachallaun 16y agoI can see how someone could use it, then! Cheers on the release.
- keyle 16y agoMaybe to analyse the current website's structure against a wireframe concept for the next version?
- jopas 16y agoSpot on keyle, website redesign is one of the key uses we're pitching Wirify for.
- prawn 16y agoEnables you to easily borrow someone else's layout as 'inspiration' that you can then tweak. Don't discount the number of designers/developers that use another layout (or elements of it) as a base to work from - I've seen many do it. Before there's a "Plagiarising!" response, also keep in mind that the final product in this case usually looks nothing like the original but that an original often serves as a more effective starting point than a blank canvas.
- jopas 16y agoGood points prawn. Certainly if someone was to 'rip' an existing website design wouldn't they just grab the HTML+CSS directly? Wirify is definitely not intended, nor useful, for that.
- prawn 16y agoIn some cases. In others, you might be starting with a simplified wireframe (and these remove identifying brands, colours, etc) or you would screen capture and use it as a layout base in PhotoShop.
