Hi,
this is my first post...
recently I started to put together a list of useful web-design & web-programming tools. The idea was simple: I wanted to list on a one single page the most useful web-sites, which make the life of web-designers easier. If you ask the old uncle Google where you can find useful web-design-tools he shows an infinite list, whereby "his" links aren't actually that useful. At the same time really helpful links aren't shown at all... :roll:
In a nutshell, here I'd like to post the current list of useful web-design tools, which was created with the help of many web-designers and enthusiasts from Germany. Of course, I'll appreciate every link coming from the side of the Webmaster-Talk community. Thanks for your help!
PS: I've been searching for a similar topic which has already been opened, but I haven't found one...
