If you were expecting magic or fairy dust, we don’t blame you, but we’re sorry to disappoint.  tongue wink   We’re old friends with the Adobe Creative Suite, which includes Photoshop and Illustrator, our two main tools.

For development of HTML and CSS, once in a while, one of us will bust out an old basic text editor like Homesite, but most of the time we write our markup with plain ol’ Notepad.  Neither of us uses Dreamweaver, Frontpage or anything like that.  In fact, we avoid them at all costs.  It just bloats the code like bad PMS.  We like to keep it simple.

To manage the content on our websites, we use a variety of blog platforms, content management and services, but our favorites are Wordpress and Expression Engine.

For hosting, we like HostMonster and Hosting Matters, but there are others listed in the FAQ sidebar that you might prefer.

That’s about it!
