What software do you use as a web designer

:I'm currently running a small web design agency and curious what tools actually power your workflow – from first client contact to final launch. I’m not talking about the shiny Behance portfolio tools, I mean the real, gritty setup that gets stuff done when deadlines are burning and clients are breathing down your neck.

Here’s my stack:

Wireframing & UI: Figma (duh – nothing beats it for fast feedback and collaboration)
Mockups & Branding: Adobe Illustrator + Mockup Shots from Artboard Studio
Frontend Dev: Visual Studio Code with TailwindCSS + AldpineJS for smaller sites
Webflow: For fast MVPs or clients who want CMS but hate complexity
Client comms: Notion + Google Meet + Loom for async updates
QA & Deployment: GitHub + Vercel for testing, final hosting on client choice (usually Webflow or custom server)

Also experimenting with Framer for some slick landing pages.

What’s yours? Don’t gatekeep – share the good, the bad, and the duct tape that holds it all together.
