Hey everyone,
I thought it might be helpful to share a few free tools that make web development easier in 2025.


Here are some I use regularly:

• Figma / Penpot for UI design
• CodeSandbox / StackBlitz for quick prototyping
• ChatGPT / Claude for debugging & code suggestions
• GTmetrix / PageSpeed Insights for speed testing
• Canva / Coolors for color palettes & visuals

What other tools or sites do you guys recommend that save you time or improve workflow?

Zipwp give 2 complete wordpress sites for free with 5 pages each, ai content and images included.

Elementor gives unlimited wordpress sites with 25 pages max including ai content. You will have to upload images which is not bad. You many need elementor pro though.

Nice list! I'd also throw in Notion for organizing projects and docs, and SVGRepo for grabbing clean icons fast. Been using BrowserStack too for quick cross-browser testing. Makes life a lot easier.

Lighthouse for deeper performance audits beyond PageSpeed Insights.

JSFiddle and CodePen are my go-to for sharing quick demos without setting up a full project.
