Useful Web Designing Tools for OSX
Thought I’d share some of the web design tools I couldn’t live without. If your new to developing websites on a Mac, these will be a great addition to your creative flow.
1. Coda panic.com
Coda is one of the best web building applications I have ever used. It offers a ‘one-window’ development environment that has ftp built-in! This makes working directly on live websites so quick and easy, it’s fantastic. You can work on multiple pages as the application uses tabs.
Besides it’s ultra cool UI and fully comprehensive development tools, it has some nifty extras thrown in like terminal access, a DOM Inspector, a Javascript console and useful coding reference books.
It’s a great app that I use daily. If you done haven’t already, go and download the free trial now!

2. skEdit skti.org
skEdit is another great osx development tool. I used to use it exclusively until Coda was released.
In certain situations, I find it really useful to have skEdit and Coda running concurrently, to help cross check multiple pages of code in a hurry. Also worth mentioning is skEdit’s powerful search function, which allows you to search an entire directory for little snippets of code – very useful.
skEdit has been recently updated to v4.01. You can download a free trial here:
