when selecting a web design tool, it’s essential to keep in mind the nature and scope of the project at hand. Some tools offer more advanced features while others are better for working collaboratively as a team.
Plugins – thousands of plugins and integrations exist to streamline and automate the design process, or provide custom plugins to give clients an exceptional experience.
Adobe Dreamweaver
Adobe Dreamweaver is a computer system program that enables users to create visually pleasing websites. Combining ease of use with power, Dreamweaver has quickly become one of the premier choices among webmasters both new and experienced alike. It offers tools for designing as well as developing websites such as code hints and edit linting; plus it comes equipped with pre-built templates designed specifically to suit different project needs.
Dreamweaver’s user interface (UI) was designed to offer an intuitive visual experience that makes working with HTML and CSS intuitively straightforward. Furthermore, Dreamweaver supports various coding languages, featuring a robust code editor with syntax highlighting, autocomplete functionality, responsive design capabilities that help create device-agnostic pages easily, and more!
Adobe Dreamweaver offers web developers an array of useful features, such as its ability to manage files both locally and remotely, synchronize them, as well as support for various HTML tags and CSS styles. First released by Macromedia in 1997 and later acquired by Adobe Systems, Dreamweaver now boasts support for more than 17 language variants.
Adobe XD
Adobe XD is one of the premier interface design and prototyping tools for designers. With extensive features that cater to designers’ individual needs, its popularity rivals that of InVision Studio and Figma UX design software programs. Furthermore, there are plugins available that help customize Adobe XD to meet these criteria.
For example, this software features a repeat grid feature which enables designers to easily duplicate elements horizontally and vertically, saving time by eliminating manual resizing/shifting of content. Furthermore, various font options sync with Creative Cloud accounts, along with animation/transition features.
Adobe XD may present a steep learning curve, but Adobe provides free tutorials and training resources. While they won’t replace more professional training options for beginners, these resources offer a good basis for beginners. In addition, this tool is free to all DU students, full-time faculty, benefitted staff as well and adjunct faculty who request it through catalog requests.
Figma
Figma is a free browser-based design tool that enables team members to collaborate on designs in real time. Perfect for UX/UI designers, web developers and product owners – its features enable users to easily create graphics and layouts without third-party software.
Figma provides simple prototyping capabilities. Users can share a prototype link with any team member who has edit permission, while all comments and reviews remain within the platform itself – eliminating the need for separate review tools such as InVision or Marvel. Furthermore, its frame-to-frame transition feature makes showing design changes simpler.
This software comes equipped with a library of design templates and UI kits created by the community, serving as starting points for designs that can then be modified for individual project requirements. Additionally, there is an array of plugins to automate design tasks and generate assets.
Figma is used by web design professionals across disciplines such as UX/UI designers, Web Designers, and Design Directors. Noble Desktop offers training courses on this software both in-person and online.
Canva
Canva is an increasingly popular graphic design tool among small businesses and individuals alike, offering users access to features and functions to easily create visually engaging visual content without extensive knowledge or expertise.
An intuitive interface and extensive library of templates make Canva an excellent option for anyone seeking to produce professional-looking designs on a tight budget. Furthermore, Canva includes various tools for improving the appearance of designs as well as an automatic resizing feature that automatically fits them to different media formats.
The canvas Elements section is another outstanding feature. Here you will find high-quality photos, videos, and graphics ranging from free options to paid elements that you can purchase for a small fee. Additionally, Canva provides an info button in the top ribbon with detailed descriptions for each element in this library.
Canva not only offers these features, but it also allows users to upload images and logos directly, saving both time and effort when creating multiple design projects at the same time. Furthermore, Canva provides folder options to organize design collections.
Marvel
Marvel is a web design tool that provides all of the core functionalities required to wireframe, prototype, and generate design specs in one convenient platform. Its unified experience encourages collaboration across teams of any size while helping designers bring their ideas to life through interactive prototypes. Marvel also comes equipped with plugins to automate design processes – for instance generating color palette suggestions or placeholder text generation – and cross-platform support and real-time collaboration enable collaboration among remote team members.
This tool supports multiple file formats and offers several ways to build mockups or prototypes from scratch or by importing a Sketch or Photoshop composition. Furthermore, there is an extensive library of templates and assets as well as mobile app access that allows users to interact with prototypes on the go. Plus, monthly subscription plans offer access to unlimited projects!
