Web site builders come in different flavors and at different prices. We have collected a list of favorites for you, but of course your personal choice will be dictated by your specific needs.

  • Adobe Photoshop
    The most widely used software for digital graphics. It's also the best (in my opinion) for web graphics.
  • CorelXARA
    CorelXARA is a high-performance drawing and graphics illustration tool. It offers a number of significant advantages over any alternative; not only can you produce graphics more quickly and effectively, but you can also easily experiment freely (thanks to its infinite undo) using CorelXARA's unique tools and effects.
  • DeBabelizer
    DeBabelizer is the king of file conversion. The automation capabilities includes advanced color palette manipulation and batch image processing. While not designed expressly as a Web graphics tool, DeBabelizer 3.0 also adds a number of new features of particular interest to Web builders. In addition to GIF and JPEG, for example, the program now supports the Progressive JPEG, PNG, and FlashPix file formats.
