Wireframe Mockup

Site/App Flows User Flows

Goal - to optimize users ability to accomplish a task with the least amount of steps. Communicates transitions

The path a user follows through an application. Does not have to be linear, can branch out

What pages/screens are needed Microinteractions and responses to user’s actions and errors

Which pages/screens should link to each other

Help to design a navigation experience Often attached to personas

Help to analyze the efficiency of a task
