What are wireframes?
Wireframes are the form of prototyping most commonly associated with UX design.

“A website wireframe, also known as a page schematic or screen blueprint, is a visual guide that represents the skeletal framework of a website.”
In fact, Jesse James Garrett used the very term ‘skeleton’ at that phase of a project.
