The web-design and web-development business is growing rapidly every day. In order to keep up with all the innovations and improvements, one has to be all around the internet all the time, which is, I think, rather impossible. Most of these improvements come in all sorts of plug-ins, templates, and so on, which can be very expensive. However, out of the kindness of their hearts, some people have given the web-developers the opportunity to download and use their work for free, or with a very insignificant fee. Check out the following examples of web-development tools and think about how you can use them in your own project. They can most certainly come in handy.
Airport is a very simple plug-in that gives a piece of text the same effect that texts at airport terminals have. It is a very creative jQuery plug-in and it can be used for various purposes. Give it a look by visiting the web-site.
- Bonsai (http://bonsaijs.org/)
The Bonsai web-site offers the viewer the option to explore various things that can be done with this JavaSript graphic library. You can draw mainly simple shapes (square, rectangle, triangle, circle, and so on), but you can also explore your creativity and use what Bonsai has to offer for a more complex design. Here are some of its best features:
- It has an intuitive API;
- It can deliver SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic) rendering feedback;
- Animation is possible;
- Various filters are available (they can be used to create effects to improve the graphics)
- Bourbon Neat (http://thoughtbot.com/neat/)
Bourbon Neat is very simple responsive grid framework. If you visit their web-page, you can see exactly what you get when you use it if you are a designer and if you are a developer. Having this kind of grid always comes in handy, in my opinion.
The CSSS is for “CSS Slide-Show System”. This is a framework that gives the user the opportunity to create various types of slides. So, if you are using standard HTML or CSS, give it a try. A very good feature that it has is that it supports the usage of arrow keys when sliding through the presentation. This slide-show framework, actually, has the potential to be better than its predecessors.
- Effin Toolset (http://iwantaneff.in/toolset/)
Follow this link above in order to find, probably, all the tools that you need in order to create a web-site. The number of tools is huge. I will list just some of them:
- Packer – with this tool you can pack JavaScript to a very small size;
- Beautifier – with this tool you can format and correct bad JavaScript;
- Scrollbar – this tool can be directly linked to a CSS file and it is very lightweight;
- Cloud-app – this tool generates a 4 letter alphanumeric file ID, then it appends it to a cloud-app URL, and, finally, opens 10 different tabs or windows so that it is possible to see where are all the cloud-apps located.
- Pac-Man – even a version of this video game is available, “if you get bored” as they say on their site.
Keep in mind that all the tools mentioned above are just the beginning of the list. Be sure to visit their site to see for yourself.
- Susy (http://susy.oddbird.net/)
As you can see in the picture above, Susy is a responsive grid for Compass. It is very important to note that this responsive framework can easily be edited to suit anyone’s needs. Sass and Compass, the developers of this responsive grid, have proven themselves to be excellent at what they do. This grid system gives you the options to edit:
- Column names;
- The column weight;
- The gutter;
- The grid padding…
Susy also does all the hard calculation process “herself”.
I think that this is enough to get you started working on a web-project. You should note that, in some cases, these kinds of products tend to cost a sufficient amount of money (as stated in the beginning). In my opinion, these free tools can be of much help. Furthermore, there are examples of free tools that are, actually, an improvement in comparison to the same kinds of tools for which you have to pay money. It is mainly because of this reason that you are advised to constantly search for new free download possibilities. You can find almost everything you need.
