109 PointsIs it typically right to create functional Mockups on Balsamiq and how can I do it?
Right now I have a static Home page for my work and I want to prototype interaction from the other pages of my future website.
I want to do this on a tool like Balsamiq that shows the Home page and then I can virtualize the other pages on my webpage.
My question is, is it right to do it on Balsamiq or do and shell I do it on another tool?

Balsamiq is a computer aided alternative to doing very basic concept wireframes that you would otherwise draw with pencil and paper. You only have a select group of colours to choose from but there's enough tools, and options to choose from and help you form your web project in your mind to the first prototype. :-)
