Wire Frame

Our team at AppVerra began Tickerwise with low-fidelity wireframes that set out the core layout and the path from market overview to a completed trade. Working in grayscale let us test structure and navigation quickly, spot friction points before any visual styling, and agree on the essentials of each screen before moving into high-fidelity design.
