Jason Santa Maria: A real webdesign application
Jason Santa Maria - A Real Web Design Application
Prominent webdesigner Jason Santa Maria wrote an interesting article the other day about the pro’s & cons of current webdesign tools (such as Photoshop, Fireworks, etc…) and what a true webdesign application (if it were created today) would need. It’s an interesting read, so check it out at:

The author raises a lot of valid points, notably the huge disconnect between designing static pixels in Photoshop & co. and the crafting of HTML markup, CSS styles and how to resolve cross-browser inconsistencies. Jeffrey Zeldman wrote a similar article a while back and makes the point that hand-coding HTML/CSS isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. I’m of a similar opinion.
