Treehouse StaffHey there jas0n
As Nick states in the video, while he's working in this rapid prototyping phase, he is just looking to get the elements organized on the page and he is in fact designing by eye. He is doing this to avoid having to make the content fit within grids or predefined design systems. Again, this is good for moving fast in sketching and wireframing as it helps get ideas and multiple iterations out quickly. But when mocking up and finalizing the design you will certainly want to ensure your spacing and layout is following a system and grid.

Treehouse StaffYep! That's correct. Wireframes are just rough representations of your idea. But you can start to perfect as you iterate. I would think of wireframes as blueprints for websites.

10,338 PointsThanks for your reply, I'm new to wireframes and so I guess working with them they are a rough example of what we would like our project to end up looking like.
