I don\u2019t want to say I\u2019m old, but Lucy-Graf was the most amazing tech going when I was in design school. So I\u2019ve tried all the new design tools! (Mostly) I even have a WordPress Figma account! (So do you!) I\u2019m a big fan of thumbnail sketches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I\u2019ll do some sample layouts in Photoshop or XD or Affinity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\u2014Gutenberg and some new options in the Genesis Framework are making it easier than ever to build without thinking much about templates (the php kind).
\n\u2014 And you can hook your code editor right up to Chrome and see your changes (Local changes, of course!) come to life in real time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
