Depending on what you are doing and have a decent amount of design skills I would create your own mockup in Illustrator or Photoshop.

Some would say Onmigraffle or balsamiq are the most popular but if you are worried about the design I would consider you implement designing in the browser because it would result in the best possible output and would be easier when transitioning from the mockup to a working site.
