The Importance of Wireframes in Application Design

Recently, I joined efforts with two of my good friends and fellow Telerik Evangelists Michael Crump and Jesse Liberty to jointly build an application that would run on Windows 8 and Windows Phone.

Web ASP.NET MVC
MVC design template

We have just uploaded a contribution to Microsoft’s MVC design contest – a web-design template free for all to use with the MVC framework. Our entry is a clean, simple, blue-themed web-design generic enough to fit a broad range of scenarios. Please feel free to download and jumpstart your next project. We thought the contest was a great way to further support our clients in their switch to the MVC.
