We can simply say that MeasureIt is a web ruler. You can measure (in pixels) any web element open on the browser window using MeasureIt. I use it to check my design element’s width and height so that everything lines up perfectly.
We all know that typography is an essential element in design. In terms of web design, a beautiful font is not enough.
It should be a web standard font (common font which is available on most computers) too. So, rather than get confused by finding some kick ass font combination for your design, you can simply browse the web, find a site whose typography fascinates you, highlight it, right click it, open FontFinder to find the combination used.
You can then base the typography in your own design on the site you’ve found.
IE can be a nightmare to work with (especially IE6). It has a different method of rendering CSS soour beautiful design on Firefox could be your worst nightmare in IE.
Using IE Tab, you could check your design’s appearance on IE in Firefox window so you don’t need to open IE. This saves you time from loading up the browser.
There are loads of variations out there. Some of the most common are 800×600, 1024×768, 1280×800, 1280×1024, and 1600×1200, but even higher screen resolutions exist. Your design could looks perfect in 1280×800 but at the same time annoy people with 1024×768 screen resolution because they have to scroll to left or right your site.
Stop making silly mistakes. Check your design appearance in all screen resolutions using Widow Resizer.
