Maqetta is an open source project that provides WYSIWYG visual authoring of HTML5 user interfaces. The Maqetta application itself is authored in HTML, and therefore runs in the browser without requiring additional plugins or downloads. This targeted as a tool for designers to create UI mockups for developers and instead of just creating screenshots of UI, designers can create actual HTML 5 compliant mockups using Maqetta. Those mockups can then be passed over to developers, along with all the underlying source code. Developers can either use that source code directly, or modify it add more dynamic functionalities, while still retaining the source code for key design elements. Things like CSS can especially be used directly.
