Web design software tips and techniques

Graphic designers design and build web sites. There, we've said it. At one point it was thought that designers simply had creative input into the online look and feel or 'brand' of an online project, whilst more 'technical' developers, or html coders would build the actual site.

But this has certainly changed and, whilst not all graphic designers are involved in website design – many preferring to stay in the print design world – those that do venture into online design have swiftly taken on many new skills.

True, many design agencies will still employ designers primarily for their traditional conceptual skills. But more and more, designers are having to learn to put those skills into use with a more in-depth understanding of the projects they are working on.

Tools such as Dreamweaver and Flash have allowed graphic designers to implement increasingly 'creative' solutions and also to get increasingly involved in the actual development of web sites at a far deeper level than they were once able. For self-employed or freelance designers and those who only design the occasional web project (such as their portfolio site), software tools such as Dreamweaver and Fireworks can be essential.
