Digital Blueprints

Blueprints help teams visualize the overall layout, interactions, and user journey before moving into high-fidelity design or development.

Common Types of Blueprints in Product Design

User Flow Diagrams

• Show the path a user takes to complete tasks within the product.
• Useful for understanding how screens connect and what decisions users make at each step.

Wireframes

• Low-fidelity layouts of screens showing basic structure, content placement, and functionality.
• Focus on layout and hierarchy, not visual style.

Sitemaps

• Visual outlines of all pages or screens in a product, organized hierarchically.
• Help plan navigation and information architecture.

Journey Maps

• Charts that show the user's experience across different touchpoints, including emotions, pain points, and opportunities.
• Useful for aligning product features with user needs.

Prototypes

• Interactive blueprints that simulate how users interact with the interface.
• Used for testing and stakeholder review before development begins.
