Top Five Web Design Tools
Just like in most other professions, a web designer’s set of tools is what brings a concept into fruition. There are many applications available to our disposal, but there are some that just stand out from the crowd. The tools in this article are what’s regarded as the most popular tools used for web design.
Last week, you were asked to vote on what you thought was the best web design tool. Close to 280 of you shared your opinion on what the best web design tool is.
In this article, you’ll find the five web design tools that garnered the most votes.
5. Fireworks
Adobe Fireworks is a commercial raster and vector graphics editor hybrid from Adobe that’s available for the Mac and Windows operating systems. Designed specifically for web designers (unlike Photoshop), Fireworks brings you a plethora of tools and options that make full web layout prototyping a breeze.
Among its notable features are: "slices" for slicing and dicing a design mockup into HTML/CSS for rapidly creating prototypes (though you should avoid using auto-generated source code for the end-build), the ability to package an entire site design as a PDF with clickable components for interactive and impressive site prototypes, and optimization tools for making your web graphics as lightweight as possible.
4. Dreamweaver
Adobe Dreamweaver is a commercial application for web development that’s available for the Mac and Windows operating systems. Its featured-packed suite of tools and options include: syntax highlighting and very smart Code Hinting, a built-in FTP client, project management and workflow options that make team work effortless, and Live View – which shows you a preview of your source code. Dreamweaver tightly integrates with other popular Adobe products such as Photoshop, allowing you to share Smart Objects for quick and easy updating and editing of graphics components.
3. Panic Coda
Panic Coda is a shareware web development application for the Mac OS X operating system. It seeks to reduce the amount of applications (such as an FTP client, CSS editor, a version control system, etc.) you need to develop websites and to improve your team’s workflow. Coda’s one-window web development philosophy uses a tabbed interface for text editing, file transfers, SVN, CSS, and even "Books" which embeds web books that are searchable (it comes with The Web Programmer’s Desk Reference but you can add your own).
It’s simple and intuitive interface allowed Coda to garner the Apple Design Awards Best Mac OS X User Experience in 2007.
2. Photoshop
Adobe Photoshop is a very popular commercial graphics editor available for the Mac and Windows operating system. Created for professional photographers and designers, it is the ideal application for manipulating images and creating web graphics. Photoshop has all the necessary tools and options you need such as: Filters – which automatically adds effects to your image or a selected section of your image, extensibility and automation with Brushes, Actions and Scripting, and workflow enhancement features like Layer Comps and the Revert option.
1. Firebug
Firebug is a free, open source in-browser web development tool for the Firefox web browser. It’s many features include: on-the-fly HTML and CSS editing for tweaking or debugging, a Console for logging, analyzing and debugging JavaScript, and an intuitive Document Object Model (DOM) inspection tool to help you quickly see how the elements of a web page relates to one another.
Firebug’s popularity is so immense it’s one of the few Firefox extensions that have its own extensions (like YSlow and FirePHP)!
Notable mentions
Here are other tools that were voted on that are worth a quick mention.
- Adobe Flash
- Web Developer (Firefox extension)
- Aptana
- paper and pen/pencil (for paper prototyping/sketching).
- CSSEdit
- Notepad++
- GIMP

I actually really like Safari’s web page tools, which are very similar to Firebug. I think people don’t take Safari seriously right now, especially Windows users. But the tools in Safari are priceless to me.
Open terminal and type this:
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
Then restart Safari and right click on an element, select “Inspect Element”

Personally I prefer Illustrator to Fireworks. Fireworks’ typography abilities are rather pathetic. What I would much rather see from the app is the ability to style elements the same way I would those very elements with CSS. That would be MUCH more useful to me and that way I’d have all the features I could honestly really need.
However it doesn’t do this and as such I find Photoshop and Illustrator to be much more useful.

I still think that designing with bitmaps is a bit lame. OK, it is easier and I might be influenced by mine print design and Flash experience, but I still find a bit more dificult to incidently resize an element by about 1600% or change the colors of all medium grass leafes in a meadow to brown just to look how would it seem.
Of course Photoshop, Fireworks or a GIMP is essential for the finishing touches, but I still find Illustrator or Xara more comfortable and powerful for main stages of design.

Jacob Gube
March 15th, 2009
@izzat aziz: I’ll have to agree with that. It’s very useful in troubleshooting rendering bugs. To me though, it’s greatest strength is it’s JavaScript logging/debugging features.
@tekket: Replace PSPad with Dreamweaver, and you’ve got my typical set-up! :)
@Web Developer: Coffee (and/or Red Bull) is on my personal list of tools, especially when you’re trying to meet a deadline.
@Doug S.: I agree with you. I used Fireworks for a bit, but found that I’d much prefer Illustrator/Photoshop with Shared Objects than Fireworks.
@Erica: The biggest advantage of Fireworks is that it’s made for web designers, so the options, tools, and workflow is optimized with a web designer’s need in mind. Photoshop is for a wide range of professionals: Photographers, Digital Media Artists, and web designers. Other than that, the (lower) price is also a selling point.

Dreamweaver is ridiculously overpriced and a system hog. It’s simply a text editor, why is it more than $100? I’d rather have Aptana, which seems to be more enterprise based given its parent model, Eclipse.

Best tool, visual studio 2008. Supports every standard spec known to man, a plethora of languages, debugs everything from C++ to ecmascript and for people who do actual work involving the web, its power to create and leverage applications and technologies is unrivaled.

I think all the photoshop user should use Fireworks for website. I have been using photoshop for 3 years for web design purpose, however, after I used FW for about a 1month I just can not live without it. FW can do most of the web design related task faster and quick than PS, further, PS gives much bigger file size compare to FW.CHeck out Feedweaver.net, use it for this blog!

1. I think that Photoshop is much better than Fireworks when creating layouts.
2. I think that Notepad++ or SciTe are the best programs for actual coding.
3. I think that Firebug is the best for debugging and manipulating layouts to your liking.

Dreamweaver is a horrible program that hinders far more than it helps as far as web design goes. Any sort of semi-professional or upward web designer will stay away from it.

Ok, I know I’ll take the arrows for this, but… The King is dead, long live King GoLive. Adobe bowed to their market bungling of GoLive rather than the logic of superior product when it killed GoLive. They should have integrated the good parts of Dreamweaver into the GREAT parts of GoLive for the ultimate authoring application. Don’t tell me I’m wrong unless you’ve built a dozen sites with GoLive and really understand its power. That’s the truth, ’cause I said so!

Jacob Gube
March 16th, 2009
@Daniel Anderson: I can’t say that Photoshop is better than Fireworks, it’s just what I prefer. I know many web designers who use Fireworks because it’s simpler to use and is optimized for a web designer’s workflow. For example, Noura from Noupe uses Fireworks and she loves it. She even made me reconsider Fireworks again (I think the last time I used Fireworks was in the MX family), at least for processing images for the web.
Fireworks can do both vector and raster graphics, so if you do not have access to a whole CSx suite where Illustrator is also bundled but still want to have simple vector graphics editor – then Fireworks is great.
I started with Photoshop, it’s what I learned and it was what I was taught (almost 10 years ago). Same with Illustrator (when I did print/branding work). So I personally prefer Photoshop/Illustrator when I’m doing design work as opposed to Fireworks. For example, I’ll design a logo in Illustrator and use that as a Smart Object in Photoshop.
But to answer your question: I like the versatility of Photoshop – I can use one program to process and manipulate images and create web layouts and interfaces. I also like the more robust suite of tools that Photoshop has. I like its workflow management options like Layer Comps so that I can save and tweak multiple versions of a layout for presenting to clients without affecting the rest of the comps. I can name a few more – but I’m afraid that this comment would turn into the length of a book.
Let me end by saying that if you have access to Photoshop, try it for a bit – and maybe pick up a book about it. And always know that you can always switch tools at any time, especially when you’re just starting out. But don’t change for the sake of change, if a tool works for you and your style of working, and you’re able to accomplish your job with it, you should really consider what the benefits are of switching to another program. It’s better to be an expert on one program than mediocre in many.

Not a big fan of Dreamweaver. I think it makes web developers have less of an understanding of things. But Firebug is a must!

I use PhotoShop to process photos and do any collage work.
Fireworks is the main program I use for actually laying out a design. The ability to create and edit vectors easily and to select objects on screen no matter what layer they are on save me an enormous amount of time. And with the frames feature, I am able to store layouts for an entire site in one file. I truly hate the vector capabilities in PhotosShop and find the type features an absolute pain. PS excels in photo processing and manipulation and for my photography it is the end-all be all.
I then code everything in DreamWeaver CS3-I have been using DW since version 2 and I know what it does well and what it doesn’t do so well at and I use it accordingly. Notepad is great and all, but I need to SEE what I am doing immediately, because I am completely a visual person-Notepad doesn’t provide that immediate visual response that I need. And the coding helps in DW are useful when you don’t have all day to manually code every last bit of html or css.
Firebug and IE Developer toolbar are absolute necessities (IR toolbar particularly for branding SharePoint sites.)

I disagree with the premise of the list. It’s apples and oranges. you cannot say, which is better Dreamweaver or Photoshop, they serve different purposes. I personally Use Visual Studio 2008, and find it to be the best IDE ever, but that’s for .NET. When I used to code Classic ASP, I loved UltraEdit.

Man, Dreamweaver gets such a bad rep. People assume that since you use Dreamweaver, you use the ‘Design’ view and never hand code anything. This simply isn’t true. I never let Dreamweaver write my code, but I do like its power as an editor. I will however agree that it is a bit bloated and slow. I prefer Coda overall, especially in the look/feel department, but still think Dreamweaver is a great app, when used correctly.
Tegan Snyder
March 16th, 2009
Over the past 11 years I used many different software applications while developing or designing websites, but there is one program over all the others that I hold true to my heart. That program is Adobe Fireworks. Designing website layouts and user interfaces in a vector based application with the power of Fireworks really cuts down on the amount of time it takes to achieve the desired result.
I’ve been using Fireworks since version 1.0 and I don’t see it leaving my toolkit anytime soon.
With all that said I still find times where i need the advance features photoshop and illustrator provide, but Fireworks hands down increases my productivity and produces results fast.
Daniel Anderson

I surprised that no one mentions Homesite, which, for me is the best html and css editor of all time. I’ve been using it since it was shareware, before it was bought by Allaire (remember them?), who were bought out by Macromedia, bought out by Adobe – and there hasn’t been an update since version 5.5 eight years ago. Although Adobe still sell it, I guess they’ve given up on it. I’ve just moved to a Mac and I come across people on discussion lists bewailing the fact that Homesite was never ported to the Mac, because, believe me – I’ve tried all of them – there is no Mac editing tool that comes anywhere near the ease of use and convenience of Homesite.

I can’t believe Dreamweaver made into the list, it’s such a heavy app for what it does. I can’t live without Textmate and firebug.
As graphic tools, I keep switching btw photoshop, fireworks and illustrator. I use illustrator for all icons, photoshop to layout the website, move stuff around and effects like shadow. Fireworks is the best tool for preparing images for the web, its compression is far superior than Photoshop and it’s the only app that saves image as PNG 8-bit with transparency which help when design for IE6.

I must say i only ever use fireworks to slice up everything. I always design in photoshop, slice in fireworks and put together in dreamweaver. I can imagine that there probably is less effort in fireworks in comparison, but i don’t think id be quicker. I am superfast with photoshop, and the mac can’t keep up with me. Good old photoshop will always be a winner with me and my web design.

I’ve been using Dreamweaver for years and I like it because of the code highlighting, code collapsing, the clean HTML it produces, and the code auto-completion. However, after all these years, Firebug is in my opinion the best developer tool I’ve come across. The more I get to know it the more I like it. If only there were a version for IE.

Wow, I seriously feel that people who say things like real designers don’t use dreaweaver clearly have little knowledge of its capabilities.
Yes Dreamweaver creates crappy code in design mode but if you are a “real” designer you will only use it in code mode, Notepad cannot manage a full site’s architecture, if you change a file name for a page or move it into a sub-folder, DW will will update all linked pages in one shot, simple things like this would be a huge pain in the ass by hand.

Fireworks is and has always been better, faster, more intuitive and generally more awesome than Photoshop (probably because Adobe didn’t design it, Macromedia did). All Adobe would have to do is open up a few more export options, enable brushes, enable larger file dimensions and it would kick Photoshop off the planet. As it is, Fireworks does 99% of everything I want it to (print, web, etc. design).
Safari 4 has an incredible web developer toolkit built in. Beats Firebug to pieces in my opinion.

Another great feature of Fireworks for working up web designs is I can see the exact position and size of an element. This makes it easier to be pixel perfect, rather than having to zoom in to slice in Photoshop. I hope people will give it a try.

I’m surprised at how popular Dreamweaver is!
Don’t get me wrong, Dreamweaver is a great tool, and it has improved hugely in the latest versions, but it is still quite the behemoth when it comes to coding up a website!
Personally I find the extremely speedy Espresso – http://macrabbit.com/espresso/ – to be a much better tool for Mac, or PSPad – http://www.pspad.com/ – for Windows, simply because of how fast they are and how effectively they reduce the clutter. Both of these programs get rid of all the excess, it’s great.
It’s great to see Coda up there, it is well deserved!
