How do movies go about creating computer software or chat programs to use as props?

In Silent Hill, Rose’s husband looks up info about Silent Hill. I assume that website was made especially for that movie?

Do the characters in movies use existing websites, chat programs, or search engines? Or is all of it made up?

I worked for a local ABC affiliate that was owned by these horrible people. They did local commercials like the annoying used car ads that litter late night tv. A pretty common technique was to green screen the device and drop a overlay on it in post production. We used After Effects for this.

I just saw them do this a few weeks ago on Person of Interest. They used some random phone and put iOS on the screen. It happens a lot.
