We use the latest and greatest if development tools to create Web site and digital graphics. Below is a list of the tools and their use.

Mozilla FireFox

FireFox (FF) is the most frequently run program on our computers. It is a superior 'Open Source' Internet browser. We like it for it's ease of use and all the available add-ons for it. The common add-ons we use are Firebug, ColorZilla, and FireFTP. We are confident to say that FF is the best available browser available for Web developers.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended

We use Photoshop (Ps) for editing images and photos (That was probably very obvious to some). Almost all the graphics for this Web site were done in photoshop or at least touched up in Ps.

Adobe Dreamweaver CS3

Dreamweaver (Dw) is what's known as an IDE (Integrated Development Environment). It allows us to put all of the different files that make up a Web site into one program and then code them together.

Adobe Illustrator CS3

Illustrator (Ai) is similar to photoshop in appearance but has a very different and handy use. Ai deals in vectors, meaning that everything is represented as mathematical expressions. The main advantage to this is: images created with illustrator can be expand to an infinitely larger size without ever losing quality. Feel free to contact us if you want some more explanation.

Adobe Flash CS3

Animation and interactivity are Flash's (Fl) main trade. Flash is very common in the Web today. It allows us to create animation and interactivity in a Web site. One of the nice things about Fl is security, Fl is nearly completely un-hackable.
