Nearly two years ago I published a post on 15 mac apps web designers should have in their dock.
I thought it was about time I updated this list with any new apps I’ve started using but turns out I’ve been using pretty much the same lot since then.
Here are 5 new apps I’ve been [...]
Arguably the coolest gadget at the minute (and for the last couple of years) is the iPhone. Not only do they look good in your hand, they look good on websites too. It also gets the immediate attention of any iPhone owners out there as they’ll want to know more about what your site does [...]

One thing I love about Twitter is it’s simplicity. The concept is simple, the usage is simple and even the design is simple. As far as your theme is concerned you are restricted to changing a few colours and adding a background, keeping things nice and clean and ensuring the app doesn’t become a mess [...]
