So, when it comes down to a design platform, to be honest my preference really depends on how close the outcome the design ultimately will meet/meets its users needs 9user-centric design). There are a very wide variety of applications on the market and growing by the day, each with it’s own merits and demerits. However, for a developer there are so many hidden design functionality intricacies that determines the final and individual choice/s.
First, is the design platform widely available? with the many applications that are now open-source, it would simply be ridiculous not to take advantage of such resources! e.g. Amaya, Notepad++, JavaScript, Python etc. Also, it is widely known that interestingly developers are drawn to go for applications/design platforms that either challenge their knowledge and skills or simply because of its design flexibility.
My Comparison Project
When this project first kicked off in 2021, the main focus was on using both Dreamweaver and WP Elementor design platforms a fast-food restaurant. The project in question was and still is a Rib-Meat restaurant the site can be viewed here . However, with new software and development platforms being released into the market, an added focus has been injected into this project in the form of the ‘FusionFlavor hub’ – this design platform will now in addition be focusing on having a mixture of both fast-foods and traditional meals available via the website (this has arisen due to user testing, interviews and customer journey map.
Just in case if you have come directly to my site via this page, this project is currently ongoing (January 2024) and my experiences will be shared in my site blog shortly (to be up and running by the end of August 2024).
