Wireframes are a way to create the basic design of a website as shown in the picture to the right. They are mainly used to create the basic structure of websites, where the content or menu bar is etc. They are also used to lay out the functionality of a page based on user needs and user journeys. They are used very early in the design of the website so that the designers can decide whether that layout is the best option or not. Click here for more information.

Overall, in my opinion wireframes are very useful as it sets a guideline and sets a basic design for the designers of a website. It is an easy way for people to express how they want to see their website to look. They are very easy and basic to create as they don't require much skill or much time.
