It’s a pretty nifty day. My first day blogging, and my first day building my new site amiebaron.com…
After using Dreamweaver and Photoshop for so long, I decided it was time to cut my web development expenses, and test out some other options. So far, I’m thrilled with the performance of Espresso by Macrabbit and Pixelmator (for image editing).
Pixelmator: what Pixelmator lacks in folders for layers, it more than makes up for with a full suite of illustration AND photoediting tools, with a delightful, lightweight, and intuitive interface. Free for 30 days, than just $15. Wow!
Espresso: It’s so much less chunky than Dreamweaver. Magically, my computer (MBP 10.6) has stopped crashing in the middle of web-development, the interface is a delight, it has a clear projects organizer and responsive preview window. Free for 15 days, than $85.
