To Create Your Own Website Designs, You Will Need These Tools!

Although Web 2.0 design is different from its predecessors,
practically the same programs are still used in creating
them. Newer versions of course have different features, but
these programs remain essentially the same.

If you would like to create your own website designs, here
are some tools that you will need.

1. Photoshop

- is probably the most ubiquitous graphics-editing software
on the entire planet. It is used by amateurs, web designers
and professional photographers alike. Since it was created
in 1987 by Thomas Knoll, it has since become the market
leader in the web design world.



2. GIMP

- is short for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a
program used for graphics editing just like Photoshop.
Although it is not considered as a clone of Photoshop,
there has been a lot of comparison between the two. GIMP
supports a lot of Photoshop’s files and performs a lot of
tasks that Photoshop can also do. But their great
difference? GIMP is for free and Photoshop is not.

3. Illustrator

- is a vector graphics editor than can be used in creating
logos, typography and other images. Just like other
programs of its kind, it allows images to be resized
without degradation.

4. CorelDraw

- is another vector graphics editor that is widely used by
graphic designers. It has been used by professionals since
its release in 1989.

5. Flash

- is also a vector graphics editor but is more geared
towards creating animated graphics. It can also be used in
creating games and even entire websites.

Thank you for visiting. Please leave a comment. We love to read what you have to say.

Hi Dan and Deanna .. thanks for those 4 choices, and the video. I'll get to photoshop at some stage! I came across Corel Draw in 1989 .. and started using it, but as with all things at that I was changing jobs, thinking of coming back home and life here in the UK - so new things in life, such as Corel Draw wasn't that important! So I never got into it -
Thanks useful info again ..

Hello Peter,

Are you wanting to do it yourself or have someone do it for you?

Out sourcing it is a good way to start. Or if you like the look of a website that is on the internet, ask who do the site. They will be glad to tell you most of the time.

There are templates that you can use to get started with if you want to go that way. They are more general.
