    I have used and liked balsamiq, and found the same weakness as you did, I did come across a very similar project which does allow licking prototypes called flairbuilder. it is currently in beta but I have not had any problems with it http://www.flairbuilder.com/ IThe ability to link pages allows me to start testing interactions much earlier in the process.

    I usually just make very quick sketches of interfaces on paper before doing them to work out how it should look and work. How would you say Balsamiq compares to using paper sketches? Is it just as easy and quick or would this require more effort?

    Hi Dmitry,

    I think making paper sketches still a good fast option when you are discussing about a new interface with colleagues. On the other hand, making sketches with a tool like Balsamiq could take longer but the user experience at the moment of testing could be more realistic.

    Thanks for comments!

    I really like Balsamiq, very cool and easy to use.I do agree that linking would make it perfect. Just a bit more emulating interactivity and it would be fantastic!
