Hi-Fi Wireframe

A hi-fi (high-fidelity) wireframe or mockup is a detailed, polished representation of a user interface that closely resembles the final product. It includes actual or realistic content, real images, exact brand colors, proper typography, spacing, and often interactive elements. Hi-fi designs are created after concepts are validated and serve stakeholder presentations, user testing, and developer handoff.

After validating the basic layout through lo-fi sketches and stakeholder feedback, a designer creates a hi-fi prototype in Figma. The homepage now shows the actual company logo, real product photography, exact brand colors with hex codes documented in a style guide, the Inter font at precisely specified sizes, and working navigation. Product managers can click through the prototype to test the complete user journey before development begins.
