To produce the best web design, you need to make sure that your using the right software. Here are our recommended software packages for performing your web design tasks.

Dreamweaver.

Dreamweaver is the perfect package for creating websites. Whether your an amateur or a professional, this program is an absolute must have. You can use preloaded templates, have html code created for you, and insert image, flash and movie files in seconds. If you’re already savy with designing then dreamweaver can provide a stable platform for you to build and preview html, php, asp, cfm, css, java, etc pages. Save all your web pages in a ‘dreamweaver site’ and view all your files in one neat and tidy list.

Fireworks.

If your designing for the web then you should definitely consider Fireworks. With its ease of use and similar functionality to Photoshop and Illustrator, you will be able to create professional, effective graphics in no time at all. Saving images for web use is so simple by using the image preview feature. This let’s you optimise the images to your liking before publishing the file.

Flash.

Every website should have some form of moving, animated or interactive banner. Flash allows designers to create a range of different banners with an in depth tool bar and a huge library of action script. There’s so much functionality that it will take you years before you get anywhere near close to using all of Flash’s features.

We use these programs everyday to create some of the best websites for clients. Other great programs to have a look at are; Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator.
