Wirefy was created as a tool to help web designers and developers create fast, manageable wireframes. It helps to speed up the journey between sketches and final deliverables. Like the web, it is in constant iteration. This requires a simple workflow and a well-defined collection of atomic elements so that new UIs can be quickly pulled together.

It is our belief that we aren't building pages but rather systems of components. This is why Wirefy has been built to be as flexible and comprehensive as it possible can be. We are giving you the foundation layer to build on. You can style, add or remove components as you see fit.

Our goal is to help you make smarter UX decisions by focusing on the content first rather than the subjective design decisions. With a bit of base knowledge of HTML and CSS, you can start building flexible wireframes without the headache of working through countless calculations.

Creating static wireframes can be great but sometimes clients just don't understand how they function or change based on various devices. Building functional wireframes will help you communicate with clients better and work as a foundation for your fluid designs without losing sight of the importance of the content.

Clone the git repo - git clone git://github.com/cjdsie/wirefy.git - or download it

This framework using Node.js, NPM (Node Package Manager), and Grunt.js to manage the code in this repo. Please make sure that you have these installed to begin with. In order to get started with Grunt, you must install the Grunt command line interface (CLI) globally npm install -g grunt-cli. This will give you the ability to use the grunt development tasks found in the Gruntfile.js file. To preview code locally, you'll need to install Node and NPM, then run the following commands from a terminal window, in the repo directory:

 // If Grunt is not installed yet
 $ npm install -g grunt-cli

 // If Grunt is installed start here
 $ npm install
 $ grunt

Those commands do the following:

• npm install will install the necessary node.js packages to develop on this project
• grunt will run a series of tasks defined in Gruntfile.js, such as concatenating or minifying CSS and JavaScript.

This is the only bit of the Node language will you will need to know to use Wirefy. Everything else is simple HTML, Sass and Javascript.

You can also include the wirefy.min.css file to the head of any project with CDN.
