Innovative new website tools for 2012

If you are a web designer or a web developer you already know that HTML is the base of websites, that the programming languages and the web technologies use this in order to show all kind of information over the internet (from text to images, from video to games and everything else). If you are not in the business of designing or developing websites (but you want to start and that's why you are here) you may not already know that HTML was the invention of the W3 group in the early days of the internet, when the world wide web was launched. That happened ages ago, in the beginning of the 1990s, and getting information from online was clunky and could be done only by the ones that understood and learned to maneuver the command lines for sending and receiving the data. Since then the dynamic HTML, CSS (cascading style sheets) and XML were developed and they made possible all the online operations we find today casual and common. A seed ascends around the turntable.

One of the biggest changes announced in the last months is HTML5 (the fifth update of the first code), it's considered the new language for presenting the content on the Internet. It's still in development and it's going to be released in 2012. HTML5 brings new features that make easy for the developers to incorporate video, audio, fonts, web grafics and animation, drag and drop functions into their web pages, it's also backwards to previous updates of HTML so you shouldn't worry about the existing websites - you don't have to redesign them to match the new standard. jQuery has started killing Flash because of its animation and new features of Javascript, it is said that HTML5 will finish the job for sure and, as a web designer, I believe it.

Online Sprite Box Tool

This tool help you compress the images and to put them into a format called "sprite" in order to increase the speed of your image transition and decrease the loading time of the pages. You can create images in sprite format with jQuery, CSS3 and HTML5 tool.

Online 3D Sketch Tool

This tool uses the HTML Canvas to create 3D drawing, 3D images that rotate, vibrate and that can have dashed line elements. To rotate the canvas in 3D you need to hold down SPACE and then DRAG horizontally with your cursor.

Online Font Testing Tool

As a web designer, from time to time, I had problems meeting my customer's request about specific fonts they loved. Using this tool will solve the problem by allowing a developer to test custom fonts online for any web page without changing any HTML and CSS code.

Online Velocity Sketch Tool

JayWeeks and this online velocity sketch, a HTML5 canvas drawing tool which you can create strange looking things. Use it, you'll love the results and you'll want to use it more in the future.

Online Pattern Generator Tool

Everyone need a pattern generator tool for some things or another, usually for the backgrounds for websites (from my point of view). This tool uses the HTML5 canvas to provide you a pattern in seconds.

Online XRay Tool

Using this tool you can view the details of the page elements for any webpage. The Firebug does a similar thing, but I don't know (yet) how it's handling HTML5 elements such as canvas to provide the design information needed (as this tool does).

Online Automatoon Tool

Automatoon is pure HTML5 and it's used for animation. There is no Flash used in HTML5, so your animations will play just fine on all common web browsers and all the devices like iPhones, iPads, Nokia (with Meebo) and ones that have Android operating system installed.

Online HTML5 Audio Maker Tool

With the introduction of audio tag in HTML5 we will see more and more websited using the audio, even if most of the current Internet users avoid the sites with this option (unless it's about dedicated sites for audio and video). This online audio maker tool can help you introduce to the new audio features of HTML5.

Online SVG to HTML5 Canvas Tool

Most vector art packages can export the users' work as SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) files and with this tool you can convert the SVG file into it’s HTML5 canvas equivalent.

As a conclusion you can always check the standard and updates HTML5 at W3schools, that's the place where you can learn the most about the latest and the correct way to design websites. The arrival will be the HTML5 will be the standard for everthing that is HTML and XHTML.
