David,
If your prototype needs animation on the page (e.g. an animated
collapsible module), then you'll need a tool like flash, but if not,
you have much easier options.
Creating something genuinely navigable is easy enough (dreamweaver,

I like Axure, but I don't have the wireframes in that tool. Sitemaps have

make it easier but I'm wondering if I've missed any new techniques or tools
