5 Essential Tools for Front-End Developers

Below are 5 tools that all front-end developers should look into!

  1. Paletton - Coming up with a color scheme for your website is no trivial task especially if you have a strong coding background, but as not as much on the design side. I use Paletton for every one of my projects to generate interesting color schemes for new projects.


  2. FreeFormatter - You should always make sure that your code is up to current W3C standards. FreeFormatter allows you to copy and paste your HTML or upload a file and it validates whether there are any errors in markup as well as reports on deprecations. This tool (or a similar one) is essential for all developers!


  3. Blueprint - This is an awesome design site where all examples are provided via gitHub. The site provides unique design examples for many creative applications including portfolios and eCommerce sites. Whether you are looking to modify their code or just for some well done design inspiration, this site is worth checking out.


  4. Inkscape - Inkscape is a free graphic software similar to Adobe's Illustrator. The software is easy to use and can be used for professional graphic design applications.


  5. Moqups - Moqups is a paid solution to creating mock designs for web work. It is great for projects with teams as the team can collaborate, review, and edit the designs. Moqups does offer a free plan for single project use.
