Wireframes and mockups have been used to think and define websites or applications before their implementation. But with the coming of the web 2.0, dynamic websites or RIA, you need to think everything from UI to conditional navigation or the type of interactions you want to use. But mockups or even clickable wireframes aren't enough.
Justinmind Prototyper is a powerful wireframing tool designed to build fully functional dynamic prototypes without any coding. At first glance, Justinmind Prototyper looks really powerful. It lets you create Rich Interactive Application prototypes.
You can also integrate real data and simulate their behaviours through datamasters and datagrids. In addition, this application can also be used for simulating real conditional navigation (in other words, functional login pages).
OK, so “powerful” is one thing, but is it easy? Well basically, everything is done through dr ag and drop. From creating mockups to adding interaction and datas, Justinmind is incredibly easy to use. Easy as Powerpoint, the desktop application comes with a wide range of reusable templates, masters and widgets (sketching or mobile widgets).
You can also drag and drop images and elements (videos, flash…) straight from your computer or any other application like Photoshop or Illustrator. You can also create your own interactions by simply drag & dropping events on elements.
Even conditions and data are added using drag&drop, no coding is involved. You can build a dynamic website literally in minute s, and to test, you don't need to export it all as it provides an instant simulation button.
But Justinmind is not just a quick and high-fidelity wireframing software. It also allows to test, comment and validate prototypes. You can add and attach requirements directly to elements or export them.
Once you've commented the prototypes, you can generate your own customised specification documentation (.doc) with webpage images, diagrams, navigation flows, requirements and comments.
Requirements:
· 1GHz processor or higher.
· 512 Mb of system memory (1Gb recomended).

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Working with groups was sometimes hard and you had to ungroup many times, losing all the events that were related with the group. Well, no more! Now you can edit, move and resize any component inside a group without having to ungroup it.
· Grouping elements inside a dynamic panel makes them remain inside the panel.
· Import a prototype now imports all the folders structure as well.
· Bug with link to URL fixed
· Copy and paste between panels
· Add/remove rows/columns in text tables using the contextual menu
· Export to HTML removes unused image files
· Now you can write negative numbers in position properties
· Group in container no longer adds extra space but adjust the size of the new dynamic panel to the selection
· Size of date inputs corrected
· Simulate a master now loads the styles correct ly
· Drop down input widget was not available on startup
· Rounded borders bug in dynamic panels
· Zoom level in events editor now saves the last zoom level selected
· Button to open the reso...
