    Hi. Great list.
    There is a small error, though – the name on the link for #11 and #12 is the same – the one for #12 is wrong – it’s the same as for #11. Should be fixed :)

  • http://arbent.net Angie Bowen

    Great list, some of these I hadn’t heard of and will definitely give them a try. Stumbled and bookmarked.

    BTW, #12 should be labeled Browsershots instead of Easy Web Form Builder.

  • Jacob

    Some of these items are so good, they’re pretty much required, however, some of these things, such as the rounded corner generator, webs, sampa, and are a step away from pure evil.

    With so many tools available online, it’s difficult to know which ones will benefit your website most. From CSS tools to em calculators, many applications have been developed to help minimise the amount of coding required by the designer. Colorzilla in particular is a good website that allows you to select any colour off a browser. Thus saving you a lot of time without having to open up the initial template design.

    Great article.

    Great list. One most useful tool for “Hex to RGB Converter” It ‘s used to find out the color codes of each colors its impractical to remember those codes and you require a tool which can give you exact code of color that your prefer.

    It is so nice ,all link
