    Hi there! My favorite tools for website design and development are: Figma for design: It's a powerful tool that's easy to use and collaborate with others. Webflow for development: It's a no-code platform that makes it easy to create beautiful and responsive websites.

    @mark_curz any particular reason you prefer Figma over Sketch? Was Figma your first design editor?

    I've found a great combination of tools that work seamlessly together. I lean heavily on popular frameworks like React and Vue.js, along with CSS preprocessors like Sass. However, I recently came across madwire web design reviews and discovered Websites 360, a powerful platform that streamlines the entire process of building modern, responsive websites. Their drag-and-drop interface and extensive library of pre-built components have significantly increased my productivity, allowing me to deliver high-quality projects faster.

    At my Web Development Agency, we love using Figma for our design mock-ups, and we primarily work with WordPress for our development. We used to also use ClickUp as our project management tool of choice to handle the organization and execution of our development projects, however we ended up building our own AI Project Management tool built specifically for web development. It takes our clients' non-technical requests and immediately breaks them down into technical tasks and assigns those to our designers and developers so they can start on the projects immediately without having to interface with the client beforehand. It saves both parties a ton of time and money, and is tailor made to our industry as a whole. So, I know I'm biased, but our mDash has also become a favorite tool of ours for project management!

    Hi @brianhurst! Nice, and what else is your team using for development? Are there any specific reasons you've chosen WordPress?

    @paula_u Most of our agency clients are using WordPress websites, we didn't choose their tech stack, generally we inherit it. WordPress powers 45% of all active websites in the US, and it's non-technical user friendly, which is why it's generally preferred for use in Small Business websites, startups, etc. Our platform mDash is built with React.Js / Node.JS. We also work with Shopify, BigCommerce, Next.JS/Sail.JS - it all depends on what we need internally, or what the client requests from us. On the development side, you can consider our agency a "we service all" type.
