I really appreciated the fantastic responses to this list (and off list)
with regards to using Axure for prototyping and the learning curves, ability
to import Visio, and whether it produces production ready (and WCAG
compliant) code.
Based on everyone's feedback, I have recommended using this too
Becky, the product you're referring to is Adobe Flash Catalyst (aka
Thermo) and it is expected to go into public beta soon. Here's the

I agree with pretty much everything Becky said about Axure, though I would add
that while it's easy to pick up the basics of Axure, it does take a little more
time to figure out how to put together the interactions. Part of this is
because there are lots of things the software won't let you do

Spend 2 or days just playing around with it. Experiment with Masters and

I've been a huge fan of Axure since making the switch from Visio. Axure
sacrifices some control of the visual-flourishes that Visio allows, but if
you are prototyping in low-fidelity then this is not a problem. In terms of
learning curve, like others have said, it's basically similar to Visio plus
Hi Helen,
Once I started using Axure, I couldn't go back. I'm able to mock up
behavioral examples such as search and dynamic menus much more quickly than
I did in Dreamweaver.

Welcome to the Interaction Design Association
If you're looking to create WCAG prototypes, why not look at the
Polypage jQuery plugin. You can then build your own xhtml/css templates
and maintain complete control of the code. It also gives you a great
starting point for the build as well.

Helen,
I don't think you can import Visio documents. It does produce HTML
code, but in no way is it W3C compliant or reusable for production.
If you're familiar with Visio, then the learning curve will be pretty
quick. The interface is similar to Visio in many ways. I'd expect that

Helen,
Most importantly, Axure does not produce production HTML code (you
can't even use parts of it), it's only meant to be seen on a browser.
Although it has a clunky UI, the learning curve is very fast. The
documentation wasn't very useful for me, so you should explore that
further. Se
Thinking about using Axure for prototyping as there are many great benefits
from a documentation point of view.
However I am wondering about the learning curve and the ability to import
previously documented high level page structures (Visio)
