Maqetta is an open source technology initiative at Dojo Foundation that provides WYSIWYG visual authoring of HTML5 user interfaces for HTML5 (desktop and mobile). The Maqetta application itself is authored in HTML, and therefore runs in the browser without requiring additional plugins or downloads.

Maqetta allows user interface designers (sometimes known as User Experience Designers - UXD) to perform drag/drop assembly of live UI mockups. One of Maqetta’s key design goals is to create developer-ready UI mockups that promote efficient hand-off from designers to developers. The user interfaces created by Maqetta are real-life web applications that can be handed off to developers, who can then transform the application incrementally from UI mockup into final shipping application.

For team development, Maqetta includes a web-based review&commenting features with forum-style comments and on-canvas annotations.

The HTML pages created by Maqetta typically work across all popular browsers, including IE (caveat: this depends on the JavaScript toolkit you use and coding details). But if you want to run the Maqetta application, you’ll need to use a recent release of modern browsers, all of which support the HTML5 features that Maqetta requires.

Requirements: Modern Browser, Java Version 5+ (for installing locally)
