I played with the DENIM tool a little bit the other day. I think it's got some potential, but there's a bit of a learning curve to it, especially to become proficient enough with it to use in meetings with users.

Thanks for the tips, Chris, and keep them coming. I've been trying to work out how to do user testing and prototyping for a while now, because I don't really have the time or resources to do them well.

You realize you're opening yourself up for some flack for showing OneNote here, right? That's Ok...it won't be from me. Realistically, we all have to use software from varying sources for various reasons.

In the spirit of low-fi prototyping: I have used MS Paint to mock-up the interface for a Notes app several times. (Most any graphics program will work.) I can copy/paste items from other Notes databases, then change the labels/colors/position around. The benefit here is I quickly get something that LOOKS like a real application when I print it out or show it onscreen. But I didn't have to do any work in Designer or any coding to get there.
