Mobile technology has developed a lot during the last couple of years and nowadays many people use their smartphones for different tasks. Web designers also take advantage of the functions and portability of these devices, but in order to do so, they need to use the most convenient mobile applications for web development. Here are five iPhone applications that will help you improve your web design workflow.

1. What The Font

Fonts are an essential part of web design and most web designers want to know as more fonts as possible. ‘What The Font’ is a neat little application that allows you to upload photos of fonts and compare them with entries in the program’s large database. Thanks to this application you can take photos of magazines and billboards in order to find more information about the fonts found there. This application is free. Its iPhone version works as perfectly as desktop version is doing so if you are already using it at desktop you can safely use it for your iPhone.

2. Color Expert

Picking the right colors is important when talking about web design. Color Expert may cost a lot, but this application offers some interesting features that can help you find the best matching colors, pick colors from a large Pantone color library and pick colors from palettes, images and photos taken from your camera. It costs $9.99 but lets you create your desired color palettes from photos and images online or taken from your camera.

3. Source Viewer

This is a simple application that allows you to view the source code of the web page you are browsing from your iPhone. It costs just $0.99, but offers a vital function that every web designer needs. It can show HTML, Javascript and CSS code of any site you want. Moreover it highlights the tags and CSS attributes with a different color for better understanding and also shows images in a list form so that you can save them to photo album easily.
