Over the last month I have noticed many ingenious tools/resources for improving the websites that I design or making the process of developing more efficient. “Let’s not keep these to myself,” I thought. It’s easy for great tools to pass you by.

I’m hoping the 5 resources below are new to many of you. If you find them useful/rubbish then comment below with your findings. Here goes, folks:

AJAX-S

A very interesting use of AJAX. Imagine PowerPoint but in web format. Useful for pitches perhaps?

browsershots.org

Comes into its own if you just can’t get hold of a particular browser.

Fagan Finder’s URL info

Maybe more useful after the launch of a site. Keep track of useful info about your website here.

Most Inspired

Getting sick of wading through all those gallery sites? Most inspired has all the major galleries fed onto one page. Marvellous!

Link Thumbnail

A clever use of javascript to show users a screenshot of where the link will take them. Based on css classes so can be adapted for use on all links or just assigned links. Cunning!

I hope these are of some use. If you wish to see more posts like this then shout up below.
