We used Figma to create digital wireframes for all pages. Every screen was carefully structured and bonded into a clear, smooth prototype.
Wireframes focused on layout, hierarchy, and user flow. This foundation ensured usability before adding visual polish.

All necessary components and elements were included. The goal was demonstrating the final app in maximum detail.
