WordPress for the Designer

I am the first to admit that I am NOT a web developer! I am a designer…which is why I LOVE WordPress and the fantastic theme developers out there! However, through several years I have taught myself css and php to get by…and what I mean by that is…when a client requests certain design changes…I know how to do them.

My GO TO TOOLS are simple: and maybe I am telling you something you already know…
but this is my workflow that works for me 🙂

  • WordPress…I typically search through Themeforest first (and I have my favorite developers there)
  • Filezilla…my FTP and yes I have tried them all.
  • Firebug…OMG…how can anybody live without this?????
  • TextWrangler…it’s FREE and flippin’ GREAT as a text editor
  • FF WebDeveloper/Plugin…again…how can anybody live without this????
  • Rainbow…FF plugin…on the fly hex# color grabs…just right-click.
  • Grab…the best screencap I have found.

Chime in and let me know what works for you! Would love to hear more from others!!!
