Which app should I use to create wireframes?

Wireframes in Miro: Exploring New Ideas is for learners who are ready to build a solid foundation in UX design by adding wireframing to their toolkit. With Miro's powerful features, you can create app and website wireframes in minutes.

In this 1-hour Guided Project, you will create a set of low-fidelity wireframes for a health and wellness app. This will be done in the context of the UX design process to give you a fuller perspective of when and where to use wireframes. As part of this, you will use the tools within Miro to create a basic design direction diagram and a high-level sitemap to inform the design of your wireframes.

To appropriately prepare you for this Guided Project, all that is required is an interest and motivation in UX design.
