“The Ultimate Mac Setup for Web Designers (60 Apps)” by David Appleyard of AppStorm is a robust list of Mac applications useful to Web Designers for working on design projects and managing their business. The list includes project management software, design software, text editors, applications for editing and encoding audio & video, file transfer software, databases, analytics software and backup solutions.
There’s little doubt that OS X is a popular platform for web designers – it offers an enormous range of software for designing, managing, developing and publishing websites. Whether you prefer to use an all-in-one environment for designing websites or a range of different applications, there’s a tool to suit you perfectly.
You do not have to be a web designer to find this list of applications useful. We here at Of Zen and Computing do more web development than design, but still use many of the entries in this list to get the job done. Some of our favorites are iCal (plus Google Calendar and Spanning Sync) for scheduling and organization, SubEthaEdit for writing code, CyberDuck and rsync for file transfer, Subversion for source control, Google Analytics for stats analysis and SuperDuper for backups.
