My Top 10 Reasons You Should Use Adobe InDesign For Web Design

  Categorized under: InDesign-How-To

1. Super Zoom
Since everything is vector, you have unlimited zoom to make sure everything is pixel or point perfect ;)

2. Object Styles
Any object, rectangles or rectangle frames, with text or pictures can have styles and you can make as many as you want. This is the sweetness.

3. Libraries
Reusable goodies you can save and reuse for each project or many projects

4. Point Accuracy
Since InDesign accepts Points, you can set preferences to move things in 1pt accuracy.

5. Swatches
Web work usually uses limited swatches, that’s why this is perfect here.

6. Effects
7. Complete Table Cell Style Control
Create effects then store them using this amazing feature

8. Pages
No other program gives you this type of page control

9. Asset Updating
You can copy and paste from Photoshop or anywhere right into InDesign or if you import Assets, if you ever update them you get alerted.

10. Exportable Stylesheets
All you need is proper SEO naming conventions such as H1 or #navigation to match up with HTML5

Let me make it clear. I was born on traditional, raised to do print, trained to produce digital and married to web.

If you haven’t started using InDesign yet it’s about time you did -especially if you are a professional web designer.
