I could be wrong but I am assuming you will then proceed to doing a prototype in HTML? HTML is time consuming especially when making changes. For instance if you go from a three step process in a form to a two step process and vice versa. Might as well try to iron out all the possible problems before going to the next stage where it is more time consuming to make changes. To me prototyping was always broken into two different deliverables when it comes to the web. The flow like you would do using wireframing (if that is a word) and the graphical look in photoshop. It is ok if you brake your prototypes into different views. This is at least the way I view it. > The wireframe should be a place to get general concepts down. Form fields are part of the concept i.e. what type of information do you want from user, what type of info does the user need to see. Especially if you are building an extranet/intranet/webApp. > What I have done and have understood from others is that the wireframe > should be an initial client meeting tool that helps to get a general idea of > the app. At that point, the prototype kicks in. But wouldn't it be nice to be able to elaborate on it and make it more complete as time progresses and you are still gathering requirements. Might as well record as much info as you can as opposed to limiting it. > Whatever works, this is just my way/understanding that works for me.
