In my experience, Axure has let me make wireframe-looking prototypes
that don't have any HTML issues. My HTML skills are rudimentary at
best, but Axure has let me wireframe as I know how to and literally
just press a button to make a prototype. I won't be able, ever, to
completely ditch Visio, but if you're in a situation where you will
end up doing prototype testing, I highly recommend checking it out. I
wouldn't call the prototypes hi-fi, but "higher-fi."

It's a good, useful tool... check it out.

Take care,
