If the wireframe is modified during development, which issue is likely to arise?

• A. Increased performance
• B. Inconsistencies across pages
• C. Improved accessibility
• D. Shorter development time

Answer: (B)

Wireframes guide the layout and structure of each page, so changes you make during development must be consistently applied to all pages and templates. If the wireframe is modified but those changes aren’t propagated everywhere, different pages will be built from different assumptions, leading to inconsistencies in layout, navigation placement, and spacing. This breaks the uniform look and feel of the site and can confuse users as they move between pages. Properly managing updates—with a single design source of truth or a design system and good version control—helps keep all pages aligned. Modifying wireframes alone doesn’t inherently improve performance, accessibility, or development time; without careful propagation, it often introduces more rework and debugging to fix the mismatches.
