## U1W1_Wireframing
Reverse engineering my three favorite websites via wireframing made their motives clearer and the linkage between design and purpose all the more evident. For instance, in sketching out Amazon, I came to see the large focus on user specific experience. The website is tailored to connect users to as much Amazon hardware as possible (Kindle, Fire TV, etc.), at which point they can upload content to such devices. Amazon makes a concerted effort to promote Amazon hardware at the front of the website and user specific content areas all around it (My Kindle, My Amazon Prime, etc.).

I think there are some similarities (strangely enough) between the agile movement and wireframing. Although wireframing would seem like making a grand idea and trying to execute via code (which the Agile movement rails against), I actually believe wireframing is part improvisation sketching for other content creators to comment on. The wireframe presents a framework that can be used to uniquely change the HTML and CSS. Once a web designer has an idea planted in their mind, they have the freedom to alter their idea and improve upon. Overall, I see wireframing as an extremely worthy "start" to web design that lends some structure to a complex process.
