A: "Blueprints" are complete instructions for developing a website or mobile application. Blueprints are essentially software architecture that include an outline of the site pages or a sitemap, "wireframes" of every page layout, descriptions of the functionality of all features within these layouts, and indicate the flow of the user experience.

Blueprints are often created with MicroSoft's PowerPoint software, which allows for basic diagraming of site layouts with individual slides representing each layout within the site.  An image editor such as Adobe's PhotoShop can be helpful in creating more vivid wireframes (more technically "mockups") that can be pasted into slides withing PowerPoint to illustrate page layouts and functionality.

Without proper blueprints, it it not possible for your Project Manager to completely understand the scope of work you are requesting, and bids will not be produced for tickets issued without adequate instructions.  While full-blown blueprints are not required for small fixes and tweaks, any new application development must be defined with complete blueprints.
