The simulation is DHTML based, you can also upload the simulation to your website and make it work as part of your site. The simulation is also skinnable, the look and feel of simulation will be the same with current UI theme of the prototype. Here are two samples generated by ForeUI: Website Simulation & Installer Simulation.

Customized Element

You can create your own element and keep it for future usage. The customized elements can have their own behavior too, that means you can create some functional widgets and you can create prototype with fun. You can also wrap your customized element as a library.

Master Page
