Over the years as a web designer and developer, I’ve come across a number of different websites and resources that assist with productivity and inspiration. Below is a list of the top 10 websites I think you should take a look at if you’re web designer and\/or developer. Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a professional who’s been in the industry for years – I’m confident you’ll enjoy looking through the below:<\/p>\n

1) GitHub<\/a><\/p>\n

Mainly for developers, GitHub isn’t just great for collaborating on projects where multiple developers are involved. I am often the only developer on a project and use GitHub as a tool to backup my code.<\/p>\n

2) Wunderlist<\/a><\/p>\n

This website\/app is great for writing todo lists. I use this not only for my working life, but to also keep my personal life on track. It’s pretty similar to the many other todo list apps in existence, but the elegant design drawn me towards this one.<\/p>\n

3) Codrops<\/a><\/p>\n

While great for many things including news and resources, my favourite part of Codrops is their how-to articles and demos. There are a tonne of beautiful CSS experiments and examples on there that any designer or developer could embrace<\/p>\n

4) Web Designer News<\/a><\/p>\n

This site does not publish articles itself, but rather curates them from other trusted sites. It’s great resource for easily hunting down the latest news in the industry.<\/p>\n

5) Stack Overflow<\/a><\/p>\n

This had to be included really. My go to platform for any development or programming related problem.<\/p>\n

6) Scotch<\/a><\/p>\n

A library of super well written articles and tutorials on all things web dev.<\/p>\n

7) CodyHouse<\/a><\/p>\n

Pretty much the same reason as Codrops but different experiments.<\/p>\n

8) Asana<\/a><\/p>\n

Perfect for managing multiple ongoing projects. You can add tasks, sub tasks, attachments, assigned to other people if working in a team, etc.<\/p>\n

9) CSS Winner<\/a><\/p>\n

Awards are given every day to well designed websites. Browsing through the award winners tends to give you great design inspiration for your next website.<\/p>\n

10) Smashing Magazine<\/a><\/p>\n

Full of coding news, tutorials, tips, and more. Reading this daily will sure help to keep you in the know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
