Tools
We've started building a collection of tools to speed up the process of web development and design. Right now, we're at the very early stages of this project, but we have big plans for future.
Development and Design Tools
- JS and CSS Compressor
- A JavaScript and CSS compressor that merges multiple files into a single gzip file. Plus, .htaccess code that directs browsers to the new gzip file.
- PHP Class Builder
- A code generator that simultaneously builds an SQL file to insert a table into your database and a PHP Class with all the basic CRUD functions based of the data you specify.
- Font Analysis
- A detailed chart filled with useful font information that is used by website designers and developers to find the perfect font stack for their web design project.
- Count Characters
- A tool to count the number of characters in a textarea as they are being typed. It can help web developers keep meta tag descriptions at a reasonable length.
JavaScript Downloads
- Ajax Class
- A small, easy to use, and reliable AJAX program. It's useful for projects that require AJAX, but none of the extra bloat that may come with a full JavaScript framework.
Guides
We've put together a set of guides for anyone looking to build a website. These guides will include information such as definitions to common words and terms found on the internet, an explanation of the process when creating a website with a web developer, a description of what is need to get a website on the internet, and much more.
