Cheap and fast interactive web prototypes with Apple Keynote
Apple Keynote has become my favorite rapid prototyping tool for putting together iPad and web interfaces, and testing them with real users. It quickly replaced all my previous prototyping tools, and I am constantly discovering new tricks and hacks to prototype more productively.
First, let me thank you for all the feedback that you provided about the iPad keynote prototyping. I hope that the hundreds of developers who downloaded the theme template are finding it useful.
As promised in the last post, here are some additional assets (all created in Keynote) that I’ve been using to rapidly prototype web applications and demo them within my presentations.
Once you download the Keynote template file ( link at the bottom of this post), install the file “Web Theme.kth” into <UserName> -> Library -> Application Support -> iWork -> Keynote -> Themes. Alternatively, you can double click the file to open it in Keynote, and choose file -> Save Theme. This will create a theme in Keynote that you can reuse to create new presentations, as shown below.

I am really looking forward to using this. I am working on my first iPad application and I use Keynote a LOT on my Mac for clients…I love Keynote, it’s very easy to use. Looking forward to doing this!

I’ve just tried doing the same thing in OpenOffice presenter, and it works! Which is really exciting.
(Maybe it works in powerpoint as well?)
