Developing a website in the modern era involves, in addition
to the obvious technical skills necessary for its realization, the choice of
tools suitable for the objective. Fortunately we have a very large range of
exceptional tools available, which allow us to design and produce a website
even without the need to have advanced skills. Let's see 5 powerful tools
useful for the purpose and immediately usable.
1) WordPress
WordPress is a giant in the field of content management
systems (software that allows you to write, edit and publish dynamic content on
the web). His notoriety is boundless, and is used by high profile brands such
as CNN, Reuters and the Wall Street Journal. Its customizable nature has
allowed the development of countless plug-ins that have extended its potential.
Developers all over the world use WordPress to create
any type of site, from the showcase site to the blog, from portals to
e-commerce.
2) MAMP or WAMP
When you are building a dynamic website, i.e. using a server
side technology to generate static content, you have a suitable server
environment. The same thing happens when you have to use a tool like WordPress
locally (in production you can take advantage of the implicit tools offered by
hosting). Environments such as MAMP and WAMP are ideal solutions for this
purpose: they offer you a local PHP, SQL and Apache environment to develop any
type of web application based on these technologies. While MAMP works with the
Apple operating system, WampServer collaborates with the Microsoft operating
system.
3) GIT
Git is a version
control system, a tool that allows you to keep track of the progress, changes
and changes to the code of your project. Git is an indispensable tool for those
who carry out intermediate-advanced projects. Not only does it allow you to
store your data in a safe location, but it allows you to restore any previous
version in case something goes wrong in the code. A fundamental tool if several
people work on the project, since it allows you to create single and specific
branches for each developer and merge them at the right time. There are many different
solutions for this type of tool, but GIT is now the world standard.
4) Visual Studio Code
Visual Studio Code is
a free, open source editor available for Windows, Mac and Linux that allows you
to generate source code useful
for website design. VSC has excellent features. such as code debugging, a
command line dedicated to GIT controls, automatic completion and above all many
extensions that allow you to integrate the syntax and controls of your favorite
programming language and its frameworks.
5) Bootstrap
Bootstrap is a
"front-end framework" that allows you to use the most advanced
features of HTML and CSS and some Javascript controls useful to greatly lighten
the hard work of a client-side developer. Producing cross-browser, modern and
above all mobile-friendly / responsive templates (which dynamically adapt to
the type of device viewing content) is the prerogative of a tool such as
Bootstrap.
