5 tools for Web-designers

Luckily there are many tools out there for web designers which can help them reduce the pain they have to take while doing their projects.

Some of them are free and others are not; but I bet that you gonna like all of them. Here is a list of top 5 which I have chosen from the lot.

        WebSitePulse Test Tools

      Free online test tools help you minimize website downtime. Instantly test your web server and website from multiple locations.

        Firebug Firefox Extension

    Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of development tools at your ... This is one of the most amazingly useful extensions I've ever used!

        Load Impact


Picture (Device Independent Bitmap)

      If a website goes viral and Digg ( Picture (Device Independent Bitmap)), Twitter ( Picture (Device Independent Bitmap)), and StumbleUpon ( Picture (Device Independent Bitmap)) all converge on it at once, will it be able to handle the stress? Load Impact helps answer that question. It simulates large userload on web servers to determine whether or not they can handle the high traffic load. It comes with a free version and several paid versions.

              Web Developer Firefox Extension

      Web Developer is a robust Firefox ( Picture (Device Independent Bitmap)) extension that no developer should be without when testing a website. It provides a wide range of tests, including testing for broken images, testing layouts in multiple screen sizes, viewing cookie information, and validating mark-up. It’s the ultimate testing companion for Firefox users.

              W3C Validation Services

          W3C is THE standard in all of web validation. The W3C Validator looks into the markup of any website and display errors based on industry standards. It comes in over a dozen languages and a dozen varieties. Here are some of the most important validators:

      - W3C Markup Validation
      -
      W3C CSS Validation
      -
      W3C mobileOK Checker
      -
      W3C Link Checker
      -
      W3C Feed Validation Service

      These tools are designed to make websites as fast and bug-free as possible by detecting problems early. At the very least, they will let a developer know whether or not he or she needs to scream at Internet Explorer 6 for a while.
