14 CSS Tools to Save you Time

1. About the css-optimizers: I don’t like them. Better write your code good yourself, so you don’t need them…

2. Sorry, maybe a little bit a negative reaction… And no edit-function :p for the rest it’s a good list, I am just sceptical about those optimizers 😉

3. Hey,

   Could you add http://www.cssmates.com to the list, its an awesome cs tool aka forum 🙂

   Thanks

4. typetester.maratz.com would be great addition to this list, very nice tools for trying different font faces and styles.

5. Thanks for sharing

   I think the first 4 are the essentials. Can’t imaging using any of the others really.

24. I second Firebug. I’m a full time css developer, and Firebug is a major part of my work. Inspecting html elements and seeing the style cascade (with filename and line number) is a huge time saver. Not to mention the ability to edit the css on the fly so you can experiment with styles on live sites.

    Speaking of FireFox plugins, the Web Developer Toolbar is also extremely helpful and the Screengrab! plugin is pretty handy too.

    Also, why no mention of any CSS frameworks? Certainly those are tools to save you time. While I personally prefer to cherry pick bits and pieces of both BlueprintCSS and the YUI css files rather than use them in their entirety, they have quite a following and are extremely useful in whole or in part.
    http://code.google.com/p/blueprintcss/
    http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/

    Eric Meyer’s css reset is also quite helpful
    http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/

    CssEdit is also a really nice CSS editor for the mac. Lots of time savers built into it.

    I just ran across this the other day:
    http://lab.xms.pl/css-generator/
    You paste in html markup, and it generates a style sheet with all the id and class based selectors from your markup. Honestly I haven’t put it to good use yet, but some might find it really handy.

    cheers!

25. @Andy- I haven’t used any CSS Frameworks other than Eric Myer’s reset. I will check out the links and look at some of the frameworks. Thanks for visiting and commenting.

29. Great resources, but just like Edwin, I don’t use CSS Optimizers. I have a certain way to arrange the CSS code; this way I know where to go when I need something.

62. Hi Brett,
    I am not sure why some of the people are so negative about the CSS generators. They are the tools available to make designers/developers work all the more easy and fun and save much time in the process.

    Although its true that not all tools can satisfy the wants of everyone, there is one promising tool that lets you generate complete, reusable and flexible CSS automatically from the HTML markup. It is called Bee CSS. If you have already liked what existing CSS generators do, then you will absolutely love Bee CSS, for it’s flexible and complete solution.

    In fact, I bet you won’t find an another tool that can generate complete and reusable code that Bee CSS generates for you, when compared with the existing solutions. Bee CSS overcomes the rigidness and limitations of others available tools and hence stands out. And as an icing on top of a cake, it is a completely free tool.

    You may check it out at:
    beecss.theextremewebdesigns.com

    If after your evaluation/review, you feel that Bee CSS can find a place in your compiled list above and would like to include it, feel free to do it so that it helps others.

    Thank you.
