SharePoint Wireframes

If you spend any­time at all doing inter­face design work you know the value-added from wire­frames early on in the devel­op­ment process. It helps to point the cus­tomer to what’s impor­tant in the early-going, namely, labels, loca­tion of con­tent, nav­i­ga­tion, etc while not wor­ry­ing about the font or what color the back­ground is going to be. It’s this stage that infor­ma­tion archi­tects flex their muscles.

I have cre­ated a wire­frame for MOSS 2007. It is based on the mas­ter page that comes out-of-the-box with Share­Point 2007. If you want to make it WSS-specific, all you really have to do is remove the “My Site” and “My Links” in the top-right nav­i­ga­tion bar.

The two for­mats avail­able are a Visio tem­plate (.vst) and a PDF. I made use of the GUUUI Visio sten­cil kit in Visio 2007, but it should open fine in 2003. If you don’t have Visio you can use the PDF.
