Introduction

As a Front-end developer, you have a lot of tasks to do on a daily basis. That is why you will need to use some tools and resources to help you boost your development process and be more productive. There are so many tools on the web that are designed specifically for front-end developers, in order to make things easier for them.

In this article, we will discover some useful web tools for Front-end developers. Let’s get right into it.

1. Undraw

Undraw is a great website where you can find SVG images that fit your needs in order to use them on your web page. You can also automagically customize the color to match your brand and use it as a normal image, embedded code, or directly in your design workflow.

Undraw allows you to combine dozens of SVG images without worries about speed and with the ability to embed them to minimize requests, for blazing-fast loading times.

2. Onepagelove

One-page-love is a single-page website with no additional pages like about, team, or services. All the content sits within the same webpage, traditionally in a long-scrolling layout. The website gives you a bunch of themes and templates with some learning tips in front-end development. It’s a great place where you can take some inspiration. They also give you the ability to download free templates if you want to use them.

Kraken is a website that allows you to compress and optimize your images to make them in smaller sizes. This can be useful for your website performance and loading time.

4. Parcel

ParcelJS is a web application bundler, it is a compiler for all your code, regardless of the language. The parcel-bundler takes all your files and dependencies, merges them together into a smaller set of output files that can be used to run your code. It offers blazing-fast performance utilizing multicore processing and requires zero configuration. It’s easy to use, not like Webpack or other bundlers.

ParcelJS does many tasks for your development process like minifying your files so that their size will be reduced in order to make your application faster and easy to deploy. It is also used for compiling your Sass files and supporting the JavaScript ES6 features so that the browsers can understand that syntax.

5. Animate.css

AnimateCss is a library that gives you a collection of cross-browser CSS animations that you can use in your sliders, home pages, and other web projects. You can install it with NPM or just by using their CDN in your HTML.
