4 Web Development Tools Every Developer Should Know


No marketing strategy is complete without a digital subset and digital marketing centers around websites. Developers and designers have never been more in demand than today but the only the ones that bring quality to the table will survive. Web designing tools are the most important asset in any designer’s repertoire. Take a look at four web development tools that any web developer will benefit from.

Zeplin

Zeplin is a collaboration tool between designers and developers. It generates style guides and resources easily, saving plenty of time of both designers and developers. After a designer is finished with their work, they can use zeplin to transfer it to the developer through zeplin and even use it to streamline the process, manage breaks, chat sessions etc.

Styleguide

Developers can use styleguide as their CSS. All that’s required of them is to import files inside their HTML and styleguide is synced with the project they are working on. One can manage color schemes, topographies, buttons etc. through styleguide.

Webpack

Developers use webpack as a bundler for modules. They can use it to put together images, markups, CSS, sources and other things in a form that their clients want. Compared to task runners like grunt and gulp, webpack saves a lot of time and effort. Task runners like the ones we just mentioned typically require a good deal of manual work. Webpack doesn’t.

Type genius

Type genius is a tool, developers can use to find fonts that match with the one(s) they are using or want to use. The main function that type genius serves is that it gives a break from the monotony of similar fonts. We can all agree that using the same font everywhere on a website can get quite boring.

So, those were 4 tools that make the life of web designers and developers easy and make their work stand out at the same time. We hope all the developers and designers out there will benefit from this post.
