Wireframe
Also known as:
wireframes, wireframing, low-fidelity mockupUXDesign
Definition
A low-fidelity layout of a screen: structure, hierarchy and content placement, without visual design, so layout can be discussed before color and type distract from it
Boxes, placeholder text and labels. The point of low fidelity is that it invites changes; a polished mock gets feedback on the polish. The steps after it are the mockup (visual design) and the prototype (behavior).
Wireframe for layout, prototype for behavior.
