These are some of the questions I have been asked frequently. The answers are below.
Both to capture and clarify application requirements. The screens are by far the easiest medium of communication among various parties collaborating on software project. Often, customers don't really understand what are you talking about until they see the screens. In this way you can quickly prototype multiple alternatives that everyone can understand and evaluate.
Showing the life-looking prototype to the customer or managers can spell disaster. They will percieve "almost finished" application and you can't say or do anything to explain otherwise. The easiest way to avoid this is to have mockups that clearly don't look even close to the real thing.

The most effective way is to create one scenario, name it "Repository", and store each application screen there once as a template. When you work on a real scenario, and you need a screen you have already created, just copy it from "Repository" and tweak the content.
New features: 2-3 times a year.
Small improvements and bug fixes: all the time.
I will gladly listen to any comment or idea you might have. But if it's not something both feasible and *really* great, than it boils down to whether you have paid your copy of my product.

If you are independent consultant or developer, then MockupScreens allows you to prepare bids and proposals much more quickly than you can do today. If you can develop and submit an additional proposal every three months, this piece of software will pay for itself immediately.
And if you work for corporate IT department, then MockupScreens avoids misunderstandings and expensive development projects that result in the wrong system being developed. And we are talking about tiny fraction of the cost of project development!
Once the requirements have been gathered, take the easy route and test your grasp of the users' needs by presenting them with the one thing they understand best. Give them a visual representation of the screens that they'll actually use when the new system is installed. MockupScreens lets you show them what you believe they need, in terms that they'll understand. Users will have an opportunity to tell you what they REALLY want, before program development begins.
Misunderstandings are costly in software development. If you are not careful, you could find yourself aiming at a moving target while scope creeps up on you or even end up building an application that nobody needs or wants. The right thing to do is to use prototypes as a tool to show you where you are wrong - immediately.
Many top-notch software development teams don't have system analysts on board. The task of developing the requirements often falls to the programmer who has the best communication skills. With developers, users, and management speaking their own special languages, there are many opportunities to "get it wrong".
You can ensure your success by creating and presenting visual prototypes, including screen shots or screen mockups. Mockupscreens lets you speed your way through the creation of visual prototypes. You don't need to be an artist to create clear, stunning screens with MockupScreens.
Some people ask me why would they need MockupScreens if they already have a design or programming package with GUI design capability. Well, MockupScreens is completely different because it's designed SPECIFICALLY for this task. With MockupScreens you can:
Experiment interactively with your clients, and quickly visualize scenarios of your application, even before the coding has started.
