"Wireframe thinking, not UI polish"

In this clip, Rand Fishkin, co-founder and CEO of SparkToro, shares why wireframing isn’t just helpful—it’s essential for solving the right problems in product development. 💬 “It’s like when an architect shows you blueprints instead of a photograph. You're judging the layout—‘I want the kitchen on the top floor’—not the railing color."
