Many times a Web developer may need a handy utility to speed up a process. The follow list of Firefox add-ons can do just that. For helping with Web design, an add-on like ColorZilla can help select the right colors, by using a Photoshop style palette chooser.
And for Web development, the Firebug add-on can provide a full-range of debugging tools.
ColorZilla can help when it is difficult to find the exact color that you are looking for. This handy Firefox add-on provides a Photoshop style color picker and palette browser. If you are stuck on selecting the right color for Web design, this add-on is meant for you. It provides a quick way to match a color found on the Web to a design. And you will not have to open Photoshop to get the right color. It is also wonderful for developing a color swatch.
Firebug can be a great companion for Web development. This add-on offers a comprehensive suite of debugging tools, which allows a Web developer to view code properties on every Web page. With Firebug, you will be able to view and edit the HTML, CSS and JavaScript properties of a Web page. Plus you will be able to view potential bandwidth bottlenecks and HTTP headers. This is an excellent utility if you are looking for an easy to use debugging add-on.
Some say that the Web Developer add-on is a virtual “Swiss army knife.” With Web Developer, you will be able to disable key browser features, such as JavaScript, images, CSS and more. Plus, you are able to view and edit a Web page’s CSS and HTML on the fly.
A debugging tool is included for dynamic JavaScript, which is also good for AJAX debugging. You will get the ability to edit forms and form data. There is also an additional line guide and ruler for measuring out Web pages on a pixel-by-pixel basis.
With Save Complete, a user can save an entire Web page to their hard-drive, without downloading difficulty. If one uses the traditional “Save Page As” option in Firefox, a few things could go missing in the offline copy, such as images or CSS elements. Save Complete is great for archiving purposes, and even better for storing the entirety of a Web page.
Screengrab can help if you want a quick utility to capture a mockup image of a Web page, . Without needing to open up your favorite image editor, this add-on can take an entire screen grab of a Web page, allow you to grab certain portions of a page, or a selection. Other options include “copy to clipboard” and “save as a file.” This is a handy add-on for Web designers who are consistently mocking up Web pages and need quick access to a complete screenshot utility.
These add-ons are great for a novice or casual Web developer, but if you are looking for a professional website design, we have just the right thing.
