How long does wireframing take?

For a typical 10-20 page business website, one to two weeks including review cycles.

Should I wireframe my website myself or hire someone?

If working with an agency, it should be part of their process. For DIY websites, even rough sketches help.

Wireframes focus on structure without visual design. Mockups show how the finished page will look with colours, fonts, and branding.

Usually included in the project fee. If quoted separately, expect €500 to €2,000 depending on complexity.
