What Tools Work Best for Collaborative Web Development Teams

I need advice on tooling rather than coding techniques specifically. I’ve been working as a solo developer for some time, but now I’m partnering with a UI/UX designer. She creates mockups in Photoshop and I handle the implementation with my text editor.

I’m looking for recommendations on software that can streamline these tasks:

  • Creating visual layouts and mockups
  • Converting designs to markup and stylesheets
  • Integrating backend functionality like PHP

I’ve been looking at Adobe’s Edge suite of tools lately. But I can’t figure out how well they handle dynamic features like user authentication systems. The documentation seems pretty sparse too. What’s your go-to setup for efficient team collaboration?

Any suggestions would be really helpful!

honestly, ditch photoshop for figma - way better for handoffs and your designer can share specs directly. for dev work, vscode with live share lets you code together in real-time, which is pretty sweet. skip adobe edge - it’s basically dead anyway.
