There are many ways to design a website. The most skilled among us are best-known for being able to code a website using nothing but a text editor. However, for those of us who are less skilled in this area, the right software tools can make all the difference.
In this article, I’ll explore the benefits of using a simple text editor,as well as look at the value of various website creation applications available for Linux. Remember, just because there are various web editors available for Linux, doesn’t mean that these applications are going to work as expected. I’ll shine some light on what’s working, what isn’t and why.
It All Starts With Graphics
I don’t care who you are, at some level you’re going to need a decent image editor for web design. Based on my own layman’s experience with web design, I’ve found this to be an unavoidable reality. The good news is that modern Linux desktops offer a few different options from which to choose from.
The first application I turn to is called GIMP. Despite any of the perceived shortcomings reported by frequent Photoshop users, this is a great go-to image editor. Plus, if you haven’t tried either application youwon’t need to worry about “unlearning” anything Photoshop-related. GIMP allows web developers running a Linux desktop to make nearly any change to an image you can think of with relative ease. And anything that GIMP is missing, can likely be handled by installing the right GIMP plugin.
