Using a Good Graphics Editing Tool
If you are starting out to design and develop your own website, apart from knowing HTML or just use those designing tools that make composing web pages a non-programming effort, you need a good graphics editing tool to spice up your design.
While there are free ready-made graphics you can download, as well as hosting sites that offer some graphics rendering tools to customize a template web design, nothing beats designing your own graphics.
I’ve used a lot, starting with JASC Paint Shop Pro in the early days and finally settled to Adobe Photoshop. Even their older version is just fine and a bargain these days. If there’s one tool a web designer can’t do without, it’s a graphics editing tool. And Photoshop is a favourite among designers out there. What’s your favourite?
