I have been working for a couple months on a new website/app idea. I have finished the design process but now I need to create a user friendly demo to show to people to gather some data/feedback and eventually demo it to investors. I am looking for a good software to design the UI. I'd like to focus on how the buttons, links, labels, text-boxes work together, ignoring the content (it can remain static) Any suggestions? Thanks!

- What do you mean by "best"? Please remove the word "best" and replace with more specific terms, thanks! Also, it is OK if everything is static, for instance a news feed always shows the same news, and nothing can be modified or posted by the user?Nicolas Raoul– Nicolas Raoul ♦2019-01-12 05:29:28 +00:00Commented Jan 12, 2019 at 5:29
- Also, please limit your question to websites, otherwise it is far too broad. Then ask us to reopen.Nicolas Raoul– Nicolas Raoul ♦2019-01-12 05:30:40 +00:00Commented Jan 12, 2019 at 5:30
- It is ok if the website is static, it will only be used as a design proposal. I worry more about it properly showing how the buttons and text-boxes and those (UI) elements work together. The content is irrelevant.elias.dominguez– elias.dominguez2019-01-18 20:23:55 +00:00Commented Jan 18, 2019 at 20:23
- Thanks! Finally, what is your budget? Must it be gratis for instance? And should the website be responsive design, I mean show cleanly on both desktop and mobile, or will you create a separate website for mobile if needed?Nicolas Raoul– Nicolas Raoul ♦2019-01-19 01:18:17 +00:00Commented Jan 19, 2019 at 1:18

Take a look at Adobe XD. It is a drag-n-drop prototyping application for mobile apps and websites. It is intended for designers that have no programming experience, and it really is amazing how powerful it is for creating a professional prototype.
Adobe offers XD for free, so you can download it and do the tutorial. You'll see how easy it is to make something impressive in ten minutes.
- I like how you are able to display how the buttons, textboxes and all those UI elements work together without focusing too much on the content. Perfect for a design proposal.elias.dominguez– elias.dominguez2019-01-18 20:31:22 +00:00Commented Jan 18, 2019 at 20:31

I recently worked on a project where the designers used Invision. So I didn't create the designs, but I was able to comment on the designs and make change requests. The designers were not developers and only did interface design and mockups with invision.
So you could do a mockup without programming anything and present the basic app to investors.
It depends on what technology stack you want to use long term.
Back in the day, I would simply use Visual Studio to develop my wireframes, which allowed me to transition from wireframe versions to functional software very quickly.
