Sup guys, I see many people asking for different stuff, that can be easily found online, and so I want to share some of the websites that I use in my "journey" of creating a new website, or ranking it etc... 1. http://convertico.com/ (Convert your PNG image to .ICO, for those who can't do this via Photoshop etc) 2. http://validator.w3.org/ (Validate your CSS, see what errors your website might have) 3. http://quirktools.com/screenfly/ (Check Your Website in different resolutions) 4. http://browsershots.org/ (See your Website in different browsers) 5. http://www.colourlovers.com/ (See how to use colors on your website in different palettes) 6. http://www.stripemania.com/ (Create diagonal stripes for any of your designs) 7. http://www.DaFont.com (Awesome database of free fonts) 8. http://www.iconfinder.net/ (Icon search engine) 9. http://cow.neondragon.net/stuff/reflection/ (add reflection to your images) 10. http://www.google.com/analytics/ (Track from where your visitors arrive on your website, visit duration, etc) 11. http://getfirebug.com/ (For those who uses Firefox, this is an awesome tool to edit on-the-fly your website and CSS, for those with Chrome, you already have something similar, simply right-click and "Inspect Element" will give you the same options as FireBug does) 12. http://www.cleancss.com/ (Optimize and Clean your CSS) 13. http://www.stylevault.net/ (Inspiration) 14. https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools (Add your sitemaps, see how Google crawls your website etc..) 15. http://www.brusheezy.com/ (Big database of free photoshop brushes) 16. http://www.vecteezy.com/ (Big Database of free vectors) I know these are known by some people, but for the new ones, these sites will help a lot. I will come with more later... Cheers, zoomx
