Graphic & Web Design Tools That Will Explode in 2015

Every designer has a collection of tools that they find indispensable to doing their job. Some of these tools are popular ones that you will likely find in every designer’s toolbox, while others are not so well known. In this article, we will take a look at 9 graphic and web design tools that are set to explode in 2015.

Webydo

A B2B hybrid platform that combines both web design and development in one, Webydo is a great choice for designers looking to create website designs without needing to hand write code or rely on a web developer to help them. One of the most exciting features in Webydo is the ability to create “pixel-perfect responsive web designs” that work great on a variety of devices.

Webydo allows designers to begin with an existing design or layout or to start from scratch with a drag and drop interface. You simply design in the web editor and it writes the code for you. Popular site features, like animated carousels, can also be added without needing to write code, making Webydo is a tool that could quickly become a favorite for many designers.

Invision

If you need a better way to present your ideas and design work to clients, one that goes beyond just static images of interface designs, then Invision may be exactly what you need. This prototyping tool allows you to turn your designs into interactive prototypes. Transitions and animations, along with real-time design and collaboration capabilities and version control and sync capabilities, make Invision a multi-faceted tool that may fit a number of needs for designers.

Ink

Responsive web design has become a best practice and many websites now support a variety of devices with a responsive layout – but what about emails? Ink allows you to easily create “responsive HTML emails that work on any device.” They go on to add that their emails work in “even Outlook”, a sore point for many designers who have to work on HTML emails and who struggle to make them work well in Outlook!

Ink, which was created by the company ZURB, offers a number of templates on their website so that you can begin using the system, and sending responsive HTML emails, quickly.

Infogram

If a picture is worth a thousand words, than a good infographic could be priceless! Infogram is a “data visualization product” that allows you to quickly and easily turn your data into infographics, charts, and even interactive visualizations. There are over 30 interactive chart types available in the system currently; covering a wide range of data visualization needs for websites, presentations, and other instances where a picture will explain much more than text alone.

Infogram offers a free account with a host of features, but paid accounts open up even more functionality. For designers or agencies, there is even a white label option that allows you to add your own logo and brand this solution with your own company’s identity.

Pixlr

While Adobe Photoshop is an industry standard tool that many designers swear by, some of those designers may not want to pay the monthly fee to license that software. For them, Pixlr may be worth a look!

If you’ve used Photoshop before, then the “Pixlr Editor” will be very familiar. Pixlr even opens .PSD files and retains all the original layers, making it a great alternative to Photoshop. Another good use of Pixlr is for clients who have very simple image editing needs (resize, crop, etc.). I recommend this to my clients all the time, allowing them to get all the functionality they need without having to worry about another software license to maintain.
Note: Pixlr and Creative Market are both Autodesk products.

Rinse

One of the most effective ways to get your ideas or message across online is through storytelling. Rinse provides photographers with a unique way to display a portfolio of their work and tell the stories behind that work. Basic accounts allow you to upload one story, while Advanced accounts, which are by invitation only, allow up to 10 stories to be shared.

While Rinse is undoubtedly a great resource for photographers looking to share their work, it is also a wonderful site for fans of stunning photography and can offer inspiration to other designers on how images can be used to tell compelling and powerful stories online.

Material-UI

Material Design is Google’s visual language, including specifications on animation, style (color, icons, images, typography), layout, components, patterns, and more . Material-UI is a “CSS Framework and a Set of React Components that Implement Google's Material Design.”

The Material-UI website includes example projects for you to look at, as well as instructions on how to begin using this visual language in your own projects.

Frameless

If you need “an easy way to preview prototypes on iOS devices”, then Frameless for iOS 8 is here for you. With a transparent UI and customizable gestures (swipe, tap with three fingers, shake the device, etc.), Frameless is perfect for prototyping and previewing any HTML content in a native context.

Typegenius

This tool is pretty straightforward. In fact, the text on their homepage sums it up pretty succinctly by saying “Find the perfect font combo for your next project.” Select a starter font from the drop down list of available choices and the site will give you some examples of fonts that pair well with that selection. They even include a visual example of the two fonts being used together in a design so you can see how they look side by side.

This is a potentially very helpful tool for combining font choices, and as more fonts are added to their system, this tool will become even more valuable and give designers even more combinations to review and consider!

Skillshare

This website is “a learning community for creators.” Classes are offered in a variety of topics, including many different design disciplines, and those classes include short lessons and hands-on projects to help you learn the materials. You can also share your work with the community on Skillshare, a nice feature for learners who want more than just some video tutorials.

Free Skillshare accounts give you access to a number of classes, but for a small fee (currently $8/month), you will have unlimited access to all the classes they offer. Additionally, in line with their focus on “community”, for every annual membership they sell on the site, they donate a free membership to a student in need.

What Else?

Now it's time for you to make some predictions. Which graphic and web design tools do you think will take off in 2015? Leave a comment below with your prediction.

Web Applications of india

Web Applications: What are They? What of Them?

Web Applications or Website Widgets

Over the past decade or so, the web has been embraced by millions of businesses as an inexpensive channel to communicate and exchange information with prospects and transactions with customers.
In particular, the web provides a way for marketers to get to know the people visiting their sites and start communicating with them. One way of doing this is asking web visitors to subscribe to newsletters, to submit an application form when requesting information on products or provide details to customize their browsing experience when next visiting a particular website.
The web is also an excellent sales channel for a myriad of organizations, large or small: with over 1 billion Internet users today (source: Computer Industry Almanac, 2006), US e-commerce spending accounted for $102.1 billion in 2006 (Source: comScore Networks, 2007).
All this data must be somehow captured, stored, processed and transmitted to be used immediately or at a later date. Web applications, in the form of submit fields, enquiry and login forms, shopping carts, and content management systems, are those website widgets that allow this to happen.
They are, therefore, fundamental to businesses for leveraging their online presence thus creating long-lasting and profitable relationships with prospects and customers.
No wonder web applications have become such a ubiquitous phenomenon. However, due to their highly technical and complex nature, web applications are a widely unknown and a grossly misunderstood fixture in our everyday cyber-life.

Web applications defined

From a technical view-point, the web is a highly programmable environment that allows mass customization through the immediate deployment of a large and diverse range of applications, to millions of global users. Two important components of a modern website are flexible web browsers and web applications; both available to all and sundry at no expense.
Web browsers are software applications that allow users to retrieve data and interact with content located on web pages within a website.
Today’s websites are a far cry from the static text and graphics showcases of the early and mid-nineties: modern web pages allow personalized dynamic content to be pulled down by users according to individual preferences and settings. Furthermore, web pages may also run client-side scripts that “change” the Internet browser into an interface for such applications as web mail and interactive mapping software (e.g., Yahoo Mail and Google Maps).
Most importantly, modern web sites allow the capture, processing, storage and transmission of sensitive customer data (e.g., personal details, credit card numbers, social security information, etc.) for immediate and recurrent use. And, this is done through web applications. Such features as webmail, login pages, support and product request forms, shopping carts and content management systems, shape modern websites and provide businesses with the means necessary to communicate with prospects and customers. These are all common examples of web applications.
Web applications are, therefore, computer programs allowing website visitors to submit and retrieve data to/from a database over the Internet using their preferred web browser. The data is then presented to the user within their browser as information is generated dynamically (in a specific format, e.g. in HTML using CSS) by the web application through a web server.
For the more technically oriented, Web applications query the content server (essentially a content repository database) and dynamically generate web documents to serve to the client (people surfing the website). The documents are generated in a standard format to allow support by all browsers (e.g., HTML or XHTML). JavaScript is one form of client side script that permits dynamic elements on each page (e.g., an image changes once the user hovers over it with a mouse). The web browser is key – it interprets and runs all scripts etc. while displaying the requested pages and content. Wikipedia brilliantly terms the web browser as the “universal client for any web application”.
Another significant advantage of building and maintaining web applications is that they perform their function irrespective of the operating system and browsers running client side. Web applications are quickly deployed anywhere at no cost and without any installation requirements (almost) at the user’s end.
As the number of businesses embracing the benefits of doing business over the web increases, so will the use of web applications and other related technologies continue to grow. Moreover, since the increasing adoption of intranets and extranets, web applications become greatly entrenched in any organization’s communication infrastructures, further broadening their scope and possibility of technological complexity and prowess.
Web applications may either be purchased off-the-shelf or created in-house.

How do web applications work?

The figure below details the three-layered web application model. The first layer is normally a web browser or the user interface; the second layer is the dynamic content generation technology tool such as Java servlets (JSP) or Active Server Pages (ASP), and the third layer is the database containing content (e.g., news) and customer data (e.g., usernames and passwords, social security numbers and credit card details).

The figure below shows how the initial request is triggered by the user through the browser over the Internet to the web application server. The web application accesses the databases servers to perform the requested task updating and retrieving the information lying within the database. The web application then presents the information to the user through the browser.

Web Security Issues

Despite their advantages, web applications do raise a number of security concerns stemming from improper coding. Serious weaknesses or vulnerabilities, allow hackers to gain direct and public access to databases in order to churn sensitive data. Many of these databases contain valuable information (e.g., personal and financial details) making them a frequent target of hackers. Although such acts of vandalism as defacing corporate websites are still commonplace, nowadays, hackers prefer gaining access to the sensitive data residing on the database server because of the immense pay-offs in selling the data.
In the framework described above, it is easy to see how a hacker can quickly access the data residing on the database through a dose of creativity and, with luck, negligence or human error, leading to vulnerabilities in the web applications.
As stated, websites depend on databases to deliver the required information to visitors. If web applications are not secure, i.e., vulnerable to, at least one of the various forms of hacking techniques, then your entire database of sensitive information is at serious risk.
Some hackers, for example, may maliciously inject code within vulnerable web applications to trick users and redirect them towards phishing sites. This technique is called Cross-Site Scripting and may be used even though the web servers and database engine contain no vulnerability themselves.
Recent research shows that 75% of cyber attacks are done at web application level.

• Websites and related web applications must be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to provide the required service to customers, employees, suppliers and other stakeholders.
• Firewalls and SSL provide no protection against web application hacking, simply because access to the website has to be made public – All modern database systems (e.g. Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle and MySQL) may be accessed through specific ports (e.g., port 80 and 443) and anyone can attempt direct connections to the databases effectively bypassing the security mechanisms used by the operating system. These ports remain open to allow communication with legitimate traffic and therefore constitute a major vulnerability.
• Web applications often have direct access to backend data such as customer databases and, hence, control valuable data and are much more difficult to secure. Those that do not have access will have some form of script that allows data capture and transmission. If a hacker becomes aware of weaknesses in such a script, he may easily reroute unwitting traffic to another location and illegitimately hive off personal details.
• Most web applications are custom-made and, therefore, involve a lesser degree of testing than off-the-shelf software. Consequently, custom applications are more susceptible to attack

Web applications, therefore, are a gateway to databases especially custom applications which are not developed with security best practices and which do not undergo regular security audits. In general, you need to answer the question: “Which parts of a website we thought are secure are open to hack attacks?” and “what data can we throw at an application to cause it to perform something it shouldn’t do?”.
This is the work of a web vulnerability scanner.

Web design Terms and Conditions

Starting work for a lucrative new web project can be an exciting time – until you realize that your terms and conditions have let you down. Without defining in great detail what is – and is not – included in your work arrangements with new clients, you’re risking longer hours and out of pocket expenses that will lessen the income earned from the work you provide.

This very thing happened to my friend Lisa, a web designer from California. When she started her business, Lisa forgot to stipulate that each web project included no more than 3 revisions and when she landed her first client, she worked an extra 8 hours on the site because the client asked for revisions constantly and she felt like she couldn’t say no.

That set Lisa’s income back considerably because since she charged a flat fee for the project, she couldn’t use those 8 lost hours toward another paying project. After that experience, Lisa applied her hard lesson and spent a great deal of time crafting a thorough set of terms that has helped her manage demanding clients.

In the case you’re missing something important from your terms and conditions like Lisa – or haven’t crafted any terms at all – here is a list of items to include:

Ownership of work

• You may want to include terms around ownership of the work you produce to ensure it’s crystal clear for your clients. For example, you could allow ownership of the website design and graphics to a client, but retain ownership of the coding work that went into the site.

Additional services

• You’ve likely sent your client a proposal that details what is included in the project you’re delivering to them. However you may want to outline additional services or fees and costs associated with each so they aren’t running you ragged, like Lisa’s first client. Examples could be multiple revisions, specialized graphics or additional website features such as a shopping cart.

Delivery conditions

• You’ve likely told your client how long you estimate the project will take you – but you might want to be mindful about including delivery conditions to protect you from penalties in case the project runs late.

Privacy

• It’s unlikely you share the details about your clients with third parties, but still consider stating that, along with any other privacy terms, to make your clients feel secure working with your company.

Equipment

• Some providers will include standard equipment, but charge extra for anything beyond that. For example, if you need to rent a specialized computer for someone with high definition design needs, you would let them know in your equipment terms.

Travel time and expenses

• Some providers will include minimal travel time and expenses in their rates. For example, a 20-minute car ride might be included, but a 2-hour trek is additional. If train, bus, taxi, limo or airtravel is required, you may want to put restrictions on what type or level of travel is acceptable, e.g., direct flights only, business class (good luck!).

Meals

• If you are going to be designing for a company in-house and meals are provided, you may want to stipulate any dietary restrictions here so you won’t starve if you have food allergies.

Accommodations

• Generally, you’ll charge this to your client as an expense. But you may want to stipulate the type of accommodation so you don’t end up at a fleabag motel.

Payment

• Ensure you have great payment terms so that clients understand how soon they need to pay you, and any penalties that apply should they take their sweet ol’ time.

Other Fees

• If fees, such as location fees, rental fees and/or permits are required, who is paying for them?

Web design terms and Conditions

General

EtonDigital will carry out work only where an agreement is provided either by email, telephone, mail or fax. EtonDigital will carry out work only for clients who are 18 years of age or above. An ‘order’ is deemed to be a written or verbal contract between EtonDigital and the client, this includes telephone and email agreements.

Website Design

Whilst every endeavor will be made to ensure that the website and any scripts or programs are free of errors, EtonDigital cannot accept responsibility for any losses incurred due to malfunction, the website or any part of it.

The website, graphics and any programming code remain the property of EtonDigital until all outstanding accounts are paid in full.

Any scripts, cgi applications, php scripts, or software (unless specifically agreed) written by EtonDigital remain the copyright of EtonDigital and may only be commercially reproduced or resold with the permission of EtonDigital.

EtonDigital cannot take responsibility for any copyright infringements caused by materials submitted by the client. We reserve the right to refuse any material of a copyrighted nature unless adequate proof is given of permission to use such material.

Any additions to the brief will be carried out at the discretion of EtonDigital and where no charge is made by EtonDigital for such additions, EtonDigital accept no responsibility to ensure such additions are error free and reserve the right to charge an according amount for any correction to these or further additions.

The client agrees to make available as soon as is reasonably possible to EtonDigital all materials required to complete the site to the agreed standard and within the set deadline.

EtonDigital will not be liable for costs incurred, compensation or loss of earnings due to the failure to meet agreed deadlines.

EtonDigital will not be liable or become involved in any disputes between the site owner and their clients and cannot be held responsible for any wrongdoing on the part of a site owner.

EtonDigital will not be liable for any costs incurred, compensation or loss of earnings due to the unavailability of the site, its servers, software or any material provided by its agents.

A deposit of 50% is required with any project before any design work will be carried out.

Once a website has been designed and completed the final balance of payment is then due in accordance with our payment terms. There are no exceptions to this, i.e If the client decides they no longer want the site, as they have commissioned the work and paid a deposit they are still obliged to pay for the work that has been done. Non payment will result in legal action being taken if necessary.

Database, Application and E-Commerce Development

EtonDigital cannot take responsibility for any losses incurred by the use of any software created for the client. Whilst every care has been taken to ensure products are problem free and accurate, the ultimate responsibility lies with the client in ensuring that all software is functioning correctly before use.

Any scripts, cgi applications or software (unless specifically agreed) written by EtonDigital remain the copyright of EtonDigital and may only be commercially reproduced or resold with the permission of EtonDigital.

Where applications or sites are developed on servers not recommended by EtonDigital, the client is expected to provide or seek any information,additional software,support or co-operation pertaining to the server required in order for the application to be correctly developed. Where large applications are to be developed, it is the clients responsibility to provide a suitable testing environment which is identical to the final production environment.

The client is expected to test fully any application or programming relating to a site developed by EtonDigital before being made generally available for use. Where “bugs”, errors or other issues are found after the site is live, EtonDigital will endeavor (but is not obliged to) to correct these issues to meet the standards of function outlined in the brief.

If 10 days have passed and payment has not been posted, the account will be suspended until further notice. The customer is responsible for all money owed on the account from the time it was established to the time that the customer notifies Eton Digital Limited to request termination of services.

Payment of Accounts

A deposit is required from any new client before any work is carried out. It is the EtonDigital policy that any outstanding accounts for work carried out by EtonDigital or its affiliates are required to be paid in full, no later than 30 days from the date of the invoice unless by prior arrangement with EtonDigital.

Once a deposit is paid and work completed you are obliged to pay the balance of payment in full. We will contact clients via email and telephone to remind them of such payments if they are not received when due.

If accounts are not settled or EtonDigital have not been contacted regarding the delay, access to the related website may be denied and web pages removed, we will then pass such cases to the Small Claims Court to pursue payment, non payment can result in county court judgements (ccj’s) being added to the clients credit rating.

Following consistent non payment of an invoice our Solicitors will contact the client in question, with a view to taking the matter further and if need be to seek payment through legal procedures, and if necessary court summons.

Passing of Rights

Once all amounts due to us from you are paid and cleared you are assigned the rights to use, as applicable, the products and services, including, the web site which includes the text, graphics, animation, audio components and digital components contained within the finished web site, in accordance with these terms and conditions, the Project Agreement and any applicable agreement, terms or licence but no rights of ownership are conveyed unless specifically stated in the Project Contract.

No such rights as described in above will pass until all amounts due to us from you are paid. This means that we will have a lien over any service, products, data or information. If you have not paid the invoice in full within 2 months from the date of the invoice you agree that you will forfeit your rights.

The rights to photographs, graphics and any third party items such as source code, always remain the property of their respective owners.

Unless you have our specific written agreement in the Project Contract, all products, including Content Management Systems, interfaces, navigational devices, menus, menu structures or arrangements, icons, help, all operational instructions, scripts, cgi applications, software, programming/source code, and all other components of any source or object computer code that comprises the Website, all literal and non-literal expressions of ideas that operate, cause, create, direct, manipulate, access, or otherwise affect the Content and design elements used or developed and all software, and our products and results of our services remain our property and we retain full ownership rights and all intellectual property rights. You specifically agree not do anything that may in any way infringe upon or undermine our rights, title, or interest in the Website or our products and services. This includes, but is not limited to, any sale, transfer or gift of the whole or of any part of any item, data or anything whatsoever that we own. You fully understand that we may reproduce, reuse, develop and use in any other way we choose, anything within our ownership

Web design Terms and Conditions

Terms and Conditions

1. STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These are the standard terms and conditions for Website Design and Development and apply to all contracts and all work undertaken by Webilicious ® for its clients.

2. OUR FEES AND DEPOSITS

A 50% deposit of the total fee payable under our proposal is due immediately upon you instructing us to proceed with the website design and development work. The remaining 50% shall become due when the work is completed to your reasonable satisfaction but subject to the terms of the “approval of work” and “rejected work” clauses. We reserve the right not to commence any work until the deposit has been paid in full.

The 50% deposit is only refundable if we have not fulfilled our obligations to deliver the work required under the agreement. The deposit is not refundable if the development work has been started and you terminate the contract through no fault of ours.

3. SUPPLY OF MATERIALS

You must supply all materials and information required by us to complete the work in accordance with any agreed specification. Such materials may include, but are not limited to, photographs, written copy, logos and other printed material. Where there is any delay in supplying these materials to us which leads to a delay in the completion of work, we have the right to extend any previously agreed deadlines by a reasonable amount.

Where you fail to supply materials, and that prevents the progress of the work, we have the right to invoice you for any part or parts of the work already completed.

4. VARIATIONS

We are pleased to offer you the opportunity to make revisions to the design. However, we have the right to limit the number of design proposals to a reasonable amount and may charge for additional designs if you make a change to the original design specification.

Our website development phase is flexible and allows certain variations to the original specification. However any major deviation from the specification will be charged at the rate of $100.00 per hour.

5. PROJECT DELAYS AND CLIENT LIABILITY

Any time frames or estimates that we give are contingent upon your full co-operation and complete and final content in photography for the work pages. During development there is a certain amount of feedback required in order to progress to subsequent phases. It is required that a single point of contact be appointed from your side and be made available on a daily basis in order to expedite the feedback process.

6. APPROVAL OF WORK

On completion of the work you will be notified and have the opportunity to review it. You must notify us in writing of any unsatisfactory points within 7 days of such notification. Any of the work which has not been reported in writing to us as unsatisfactory within the 7-day review period will be deemed to have been approved. Once approved, or deemed approved, work cannot subsequently be rejected and the contract will be deemed to have been completed and the 50% balance of the project price will become due.

7. REJECTED WORK

If you reject any of our work within the 7-day review period, or not approve subsequent work performed by us to remedy any points recorded as being unsatisfactory, and we, acting reasonably, consider that you have been unreasonable in any rejection of the work, we can elect to treat this contract as at an end and take measures to recover payment for the completed work.

8. PAYMENT

Upon completion of the 7-day review period, we will invoice you for the 50% balance of the project.

9. WARRANTY BY YOU AS TO OWNERSHIP OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

You must obtain all necessary permissions and authorities in respect of the use of all copy, graphic images, registered company logos, names and trade marks, or any other material that you supply to us to include in your website or web applications.

You must indemnify us and hold us harmless from any claims or legal actions related to the content of your website.
