Productivity and creativity are the important aspects for any web designer, and the purpose of this post is to provide advice on how to speed up coding and manage the various design elements more efficiently.

- User flow planning
Good user flow is crucial to getting a site design right. If you like the idea of Post-it notes for the core content, you can expand it by using Post-it notes to map user flow. This technique is used as it focuses your mind on what is important.
- Version control
