Wire frames and mockups

For a while now, Ive been using a tool called Balsamiq Mockups. Its an Adobe RIA, and allows you to quickly and simply create visual mockups of almost any web/mobile application. It even features user-contributed "extensions", that provide you with even more UI's from which to base your design. No point in starting scratch methinks.

I recently used Balsmiq for an XPages app and created a base mockups using the IBM's oneui theme. To that end, I've posted an Xpage mockup at mockupstogo (the online user-contrubutions site for Balsamiq) for you to download and use in the Balsamiq tool. For those of you that dont have a license to use to full tool, you can still try the demo version online, and import the mockup into the demo. Simply, launch the demo online (click try it now from the home page) , then go the Mockup Menu, choose Import Mockup, and then paste the contents of the text/xml file below into the dialog box. Enjoy!

You can download the XML file to import here.
