[IxDA Discuss] What do you call this?

[Katie Albers]

Well, I don't know if it's useful or not, but what you're showing is 
what I was taught a wireframe is...and it's extremely useful because 
as the specs become more specific they can be added in to the 
wireframe and you can very closely approximate the current status of 
the application/site/product (always being sure to keep a pure copy 
of each stage along the way so you can back yourselves out if 
necessary). In fact, I've never really understood why the 
"visio/omnigraffle/whatever Visually oriented but not functioning 
wireframe is supposed to be better.
