On this page you will find software reviews and considerations on the tools and resources I use in my everyday website design workflow. When I was starting out, I would have loved a page like this, so I hope you will find it useful.
This website is completely Adobe-free, not a single instant has been spent on an application from the Adobe suite. I know some of you will find this statement pretty weird, given that Adobe is considered to wield industry-standard software, but I find Adobe’s products to be bloated and almost stupid at times. Stupid might be too much, but well, let’s say that they are powerful, but not smart. It’s not my style. If you can find less pricey products that can do the job without giving you endless headaches, I say stick with them.
Anyway, here are my choices for the best website design software. Take the time to leave a feedback and suggest other resources I might find useful.
Enjoy!

This guy here (who runs Astrid Jane, top notch female jeansery) once told me that switching over to Apple devices was something like exiting the MiddleAge. I eventually found the guy knows his way. It actually is like waking up to a world where technology does not need your help to help you out: it makes your life easier and much more beautiful. Those of you sitting on the fence, you won’t know what you’re missing until you switch.

Powered by WordPress
Did I need to specify this? Wordpress powers a significant part of the web today and I am proud to be on board. This website has been crafted from scratch, using Bones as a starting point and adding the various features along the way. The incredible community behind Wordpress.org not only makes coding a pleasure, but also makes you feel part of the framework – and for a lone geek it really feels like home.

Espresso – The Web Editor
In this field, choices are endless. Still, Espresso is my pick. A beautifully designed interface adds visual pleasure to your workflow. And the work certainly flows with Espresso! Thanks to supersmart autocompletion (way above the competition), the coolest navigator you’ll find, and a huge set of addons (smartly called Sugars) you will certainly find Espresso the right tool for your web editing duties. The visual guys will find the CSS panel particularly useful, while those coming from pure-text editors will be able to customize syntax highlighting to their hearts’ content and use custom code snippets. Give it a check, there’s a 15-day trial to taste a cup of web editing the way it’s meant to be.In this field, choices are endless. Still, Espresso is my pick.
