CSSDesigner

CSS, short for Cascading Style Sheets, was originally invented so that web developers could get an accurate feel for the resulting webpages written in HTML or XHTML  and it is no surprise that, currently, it is heavily used for creating visually pleasing web content and web app interfaces.

While experienced web developers might turn towards the help provided by CSS editors, it is possible that novices will want something a bit more accessible, for example, an application like CSSDesigner.

In a few words, CSSDesigner is a useful program that makes it possible for you to quickly create CSS3 and CSS2 effects.

You wouldn't be frowned upon if the first impression will not be a positive one once you see its interface. Without criticizing it too much, the app's interface is a somewhat outdated, with elements like buttons and the text for the panel names too small in size.

The utility's main features are neatly organized within a panel on the right side of the main window, with drop-down menus.

Besides this, the app also sports a fairly minimalist top toolbar that enables you to start new projects, open and save already existing CSS files and to undo and redo moves. On the left side, you get access to two small panels: Layers and Viewport.

As soon as you get to grips with CSSDesigner, you are bound to discover that the workflow is quite streamlined. You can apply a wide array of effects to the whole project or only to specific elements, work with multiple layers, paint on a virtual canvas and take advantage of the various provided blending modes.

To conclude, CSSDesigner is a helpful tool for web design that provides a wide array of editing features your CSS projects. Clearly, it is not going to win any awards for its looks but, at the end of the day, especially once you get used to using it a bit, it gets the job done.
