The Keyhole Software team is excited to announce the standalone release of MockOla for free, public use. MockOla is a rapid design tool to easily create user interface mockups and wireframes.

Using a drag-and-drop element editor implemented with HTML5 Canvas, users can lay out user interfaces mockups, concept designs, and wireframes. The tool boasts a number of customization palettes, including handy templates for web, tablet, and mobile applications.

Best of all, MockOla is free for individual and enterprise use. Start using the tool at http://mockola.com.

MockOla Use

Our goal was to make MockOla simple and easy to use.

When in the MockOla editor, drag elements from the top editing menu and drop them to the canvas to create your desired mockup as shown to the right. View available shapes and palettes via the dropdowns. Align, group, and rearrange elements using the controls available. The design possibilities are endless with MockOla.

You can create, save, and edit your own designs, in addition to editing the examples available on the MockOla home page. Users can then download the design in PNG format.

About MockOla

MockOla began as an offering of the GrokOla software platform, a collaboration wiki tool for development teams to harness internal tribal knowledge. In addition to MockOla capabilities, GrokOla users can document code solutions, ask questions to experts, and access educational content.

The ability to quickly and easily create user interface mockups in a collaborative setting has been highly valued in GrokOla. Due to its popularity, we have released MockOla to the public as a standalone offering.
