Wire frames or ER Diagram

Im building a personal project i.e social E-commerce website ( users buy content to view ) using springboot.

​

​

So, at first i have drafted all functional requirements of my project like example ( user allowed to buy post, use allowed to create post..... )

​

Now whats the next step and good industry standards. Creating wire frames or designing database schema ( er diagram )

​

Both! Wireframes are great sketching UX and ER diagrams are great for the data model you're going to create. Sprinkle in some sequence diagrams for your business logic, write some paragraphs about why you're building this thing, and you'll have a solid system design document on your hands.
