SEO WEB DESIGN TOOLS & SOFTWARE PRODUCTS
Web 2.0 has brought about a revolution in the world
of web design. In order to keep up with the latest
trends in web design, designers must be able to use a
wide variety of web site design software products. Here
are some of the most common web design tools that Noon-an-Night’s
web designers frequently use:
Adobe Photoshop: Adobe Photoshop is web design tool
of choice for the majority of web designers. Although
the name seems simple, Adobe Photoshop is an extremely
powerful piece of software. Editing photos is only
a fraction of what Photoshop is capable of. For
example, a web designer can use Photoshop to create a
web site layout. The designer can then use Photoshop
to splice the design, so that the design can be hand
coded to be XHTML and CSS compliant. In the hands
of an experienced web designer, the potential of Adobe
Photoshop is virtually unlimited.
Macromedia Dreamweaver 8: Dreamweaver 8 (which will
be upgraded to Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 in the near future)
is another essential tool for web designers. Dreamweaver
is a unique piece web site design software because it
allows you to view a layout’s design and source
code at the same time. Dreamweaver is a great way
for designers to cut out repetitive tasks and maximize
their productivity.
Flash: Although it has still not reached it’s
full potential (due to the current constraints of many
internet connection speeds and search engines ability
to index it), Flash is definitely one of the main components
of the internet’s future. Even though it
is already used on many web sites, it’s role should
increase dramatically over the next five to ten years. Web
designers can use flash to create web sites that are
not only visually stunning, but highly interactive. Using
Flash as a web design tool, designers have complete control
over how a user interacts with a web site.
