As a newbie to web design, and with a few new web projects on the horizon, this article alleviates a lot of the anxiety I was having about “where do I start?”

I wonder though, 1) is it necessary to wireframe every single page that will exist throughout the site? — and 2) do you present a few various wireframe options to illustrate possible layouts—along with all subsequent wireframe pages? OR would you present, say, 2 or 3 home page wireframe layouts to the client, and then based on their feedback, flesh out the remaining wireframe pages of the chosen direction? I hope this makes sense.

Thanks!

I think this can be best achieved through a collaborative visual environment where designers/developers and clients can work together to save valuable time.
