Progress does not stand still. Almost every day we see the birth of new services and programs designed to facilitate the work of web professionals.
In this article, I would like to tell you about the tools that a web designer needs to successfully and effectively complete their work. This is especially important today, as technology is developing rapidly and you won't get far with Photoshop alone.
The tools and services that I will tell you about in this article will be useful not only for web designers, but also for online entrepreneurs and ordinary bloggers.
Well, are you ready? Then let's start!
Sketch
Sketch is one of the most popular web design tools. He has long been fighting with Photoshop for the palm in the development of web interfaces.
Compared to the brainchild of Adobe, this product has some advantages. For example, such as speed, low resource requirements and focus on web interface design.
Its only drawback is that it only supports MacOS platforms. The product costs $99, but nevertheless, according to user reviews, Sketch is worth the money. As expected with paid services, the developers provide a free trial.
Macaw
Macaw is a tool built by designers for designers. Its main feature is the development of sites without the need to write code. As you know, the boundaries between developers and web designers have blurred a lot lately. And Macaw makes it feel like reality.
With Macaw, you can achieve responsive layout without any knowledge of HTML and CSS. You only need to work on the appearance, after which the application itself will generate the source code.
The undoubted advantage of this software is its ease of use. That is, in just half an hour you can learn how to create adaptive website templates. And what is most surprising, Macaw is absolutely free!
UXPin
UXPin is a complete web designer tool. It is quite versatile and is not limited to any specific functionality.
With UXPin you can design both websites and apps on iOS. You can create both simple project outlines and more detailed interface templates.
If necessary, it is possible to import projects from Photoshop and Sketch. Also, when creating a project from scratch, you can use UX patterns from frameworks such as Bootstrap, Foundation, etc.
Marvel
Marvel is another tool for creating sketches for websites and mobile applications. The main advantage of this service is its ease of use. Here is what the founder of the service has to say about it:
We created Marvel to make it as easy as possible for people to put their marketing ideas into action. Marvel is a flexible tool with which you can make a real interactive prototype of a website or application from simple pictures and sketches.
A feature of Marvel is that when registering, it asks for access to an account on Dropbox. This is necessary for further import of project files. Also, the undoubted advantage of this tool is the free basic package.
webflow
Webflow is another amazing web application that allows you to create beautiful and responsive websites with ease. However, you do not need to have technologies such as HTML and CSS.
The idea of creating Webflow came from two brothers who are jointly engaged in the development of sites. One of them was a programmer and the other a web designer. They came up with the idea of creating such an application with which you can create the appearance and skeleton of the site without knowing anything about programming. Well, they did it very well.
Canva
Canva is one of the best graphic design platforms out there. With this tool, you can create almost any graphic elements.
Canva is especially useful for creating covers for eBooks, infographics, presentations, and more. It is noteworthy that a well-known person in the startup community, Guy Kawasaki, is working on Canva.
This graphics platform is shareware. Among the graphic elements that Canva provides, there are both paid and free options.
Noun Project
The Noun Project can be a great source for finding graphic elements for your website or blog. Also, with the help of this service, designers can earn on their work.
Paper
Paper is one of the best iOS apps for designers. Use it to take quick notes, sketches, sketches, and more.
Also, fifty three, the developer of the application, additionally provides an original and very functional stylus.
Paper will be especially useful when creating quick drafts of a project, as well as in the daily work of a designer.
Astropad
Astropad can be a great solution for Mac web designers. With this application, you can make a drawing board from your iPad or iPhone that will sync with your Mac.
So you can design websites and apps with your stylus and tablet, which is in turn connected to your Mac. Now work will be much more enjoyable, and your wrists will be relaxed from now on.
Iconfinder
Iconfinder is one of the best website favicon services. Its database contains more than 800 thousand graphic elements. The range includes both paid and free options.
It's safe to say that Iconfinder can save you a lot of money when it comes to purchasing icons for your website.
365 Psd
365 Psd is one of the richest repositories of free psd mockups and vector images. Here you can find everything from company logos to images of wildlife and nature.
Freepik
Freepik is another good source of free vectors, icons and images. Almost all materials can be borrowed for free, provided that a backlink is included. The amount of graphics provided is simply impressive.
Adobe Color CC
Adobe Color CC, which is commonly called Adobe Kuler, has long been one of the indispensable tools for designers. Adobe Kuler is a great help in choosing colors and their shades when working on interface elements.
Particularly useful is the function of choosing color schemes. There are about seven of them in total. With the help of Adobe Kuler, you will be much more confident in working with colors and choosing their successful shades.
palette
Paletton essentially performs the same function as the previous service - working with web colors. Paletton is a great alternative to Cooler and has some special features. Beginners can try both options and choose the one they like.
Google Fonts
Google Fonts is one of my favorite services. Many site builders and designers have long appreciated the next product of Google.
As you know, fonts are intellectual property. This means that we must either buy fonts for the site or use free ones.
We are not very fond of buying digital products, so Google fonts can help out a lot in this situation. But this is not at all shameful, since the fonts from Google are very solid. Now they have more than 700 items in their collection. And developers from all over the world have long been addicted to using this service.
In general, if you need fonts for your site, welcome to Google fonts!
Font Squirrel
In my opinion, Font Squirrel is the coolest font service out there. Its advantage over the Google service is a larger collection of fonts.
Installing fonts on a site is not the easiest thing, and therefore I recorded a separate video tutorial on this topic. In it, I clearly show how to download and install fonts from the Google and Font Squirrel repositories. Click on the image below to view the screencast:
tableau public
Tableau Public is a great data visualization tool. With it, you can turn dry data into colorful and visual graphs and charts. Try it. I'm sure visitors to your site will appreciate it.
Logopond
The importance of a website logo cannot be overestimated. It is with the help of it that you can make the first and most lasting impression on your users.
But how to create a logo in the spirit of your company? How to make it not only pleasant and beautiful, but also make the right impression on people?

Logopond is an archive of pre-made and existing logos. Having got acquainted with them, you can learn a lot of useful things and be inspired by the work of successful designers.
Siteinspire
Continuing the topic of inspiration... Sometimes web designers lack motivation and fresh ideas, not only when creating logos, but also in large projects. Whether business there comes so-called creative crisis.
During such periods, the Siteinspire service can be of great help. It is designed, so to speak, to raise the spirit of the artist, as it is filled with magnificent works of the best designers.
You can find ready-made projects by topics, solutions used and many other criteria.
color hunter
Sometimes when creating certain interface elements for my site, I often face the problem of choosing the right color or shade. It can be difficult to figure out which color is best.
At the same time, as a solution, I can often find some good photo or image. A good combination of colors in it I could use on my website. But how to achieve this technically?
The Color Hunter service will help you with this. You just need to upload the image you like and voila! You will immediately receive information about all the colors used in it.
ColorZilla
ColorZilla is a really cool thing. Or rather, an extension. With it, you can find out the designation of any color you like that you met on some site.
After installing the extension, you will see an eyedropper icon in your browser. Clicking on it will activate the tool. Next, you just need to click on the area of the screen whose color you want to know. After that, the designation of a certain color will be immediately copied to the clipboard. And finally, all that remains is to paste it into Photoshop, a style sheet, or any other place. Minimum movement - maximum efficiency)
Resizer
During the development of the site, you have to periodically check its display at different screen resolutions. But is it really necessary to use all existing devices for this?
Not at all. With the help of the new service of the same Google, you can see the display of your site on different devices at once: laptops, tablets and smartphones. You just need to enter the address of your site in the form and press Enter.
With the help of the Resizer service, you can not be afraid to lose sight of one or another part of your audience. As they say, everything is under control)
So, in this article, I told you about 22 services that are very useful for web designers. However, most of the tools I have presented will also be useful for online entrepreneurs and bloggers.
