- **Web browsers**, to test code in. Currently, the most-used browsers are [Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/), [Chrome](https://www.google.com/chrome/), [Safari](https://www.apple.com/safari/), and [Microsoft Edge](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge). You should also test how your site performs on mobile devices and on any old browsers your target audience may still be using (such as IE 8–10). [Lynx](https://lynx.browser.org/), a text-based terminal web browser, is great for seeing how your site is experienced by visually-impaired users.
- **A graphics editor**, like [GIMP](https://www.gimp.org/), [Figma](https://www.figma.com/), [Paint.NET](https://www.getpaint.net/), [Photoshop](https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html), [Sketch](https://www.sketch.com/) or [XD](https://www.adobe.com/products/xd.html), to make images or graphics for your web pages.
- **A version control system**, to manage files on servers, collaborate on a project with a team, share code and assets and avoid editing conflicts. Right now, [Git](https://git-scm.com/) is the most popular version control system along with the [GitHub](https://github.com/) or [GitLab](https://about.gitlab.com/) hosting service.
- **An FTP program**, used on older web hosting accounts to manage files on servers ([Git](https://git-scm.com/) is increasingly replacing FTP for this purpose). There are loads of (S)FTP programs available including [Cyberduck](https://cyberduck.io/), [Fetch](https://fetchsoftworks.com/) and [FileZilla](https://filezilla-project.org/).
- **An automation system,** like [Webpack](https://webpack.js.org/), [Grunt](https://gruntjs.com/), or [Gulp](https://gulpjs.com/) to automatically perform repetitive tasks, such as minifying code and running tests.
- Libraries, frameworks, etc., to speed up writing common functionality. A library tends to be an existing JavaScript or CSS file that provides ready-rolled functionality for you to make use of in your code. A framework tends to take this idea further, offering a complete system with some custom syntaxes for you to write a web app on top of.
- More tools besides!
