As any web designers like me that use Photoshop as the tool to design websites, I believe many of us used layer styles to style up the common design elements like buttons and boxes. And when comes to converting design to CSS styles, we will have to manually enter the properties and values which is very inefficient and time consuming.
Well, rejoice! Today I’m going to introduce 2 tools that can quickly convert Photoshop layer styles to CSS/CSS3 with just a single click. They are: CSS3Ps which is a free tool and CSShat which is a premium plugin. Both tools are aimed to save your time and accurately convert your layer styles to reusable CSS styles.

With FreePik, I can easily look for it without wandering around with search engines and find only bad quality stuff. I hope everyone could benefit from this site!

Yellow is the color that brings the meaning of happiness, high energy and cheerful. Today, I’m going to dedicate this post to showcase some really well executed websites that uses yellow as the primary color palette.
