Hi. I am currently looking to change career into web design, and currently I am learning HTML / CSS. I am a graphic designer by trade, but I want to learn about the back end, so hopefully I can design & build sites.
I am doing a bit of research on which software to use for the design side of things, and I keep hearing good reports about sketch, as I understand this is geared up for web / UI as its all vector based. I used to use photoshop for mock ups, but would I be making the right moving moving to sketch? I only want to design for the web, so most of photoshops features I won't need to use.
My question is if sketch is the one to learn, and is this hopefully go to be around for a few years?
Also does it help in generating code when you export your designs? I have also heard of macaw, but is this any good?
I suppose my main skills will always be the design side of things, but I am looking to learn about the build of things, but I can never see me being a great coder as its probably a bit too technical for me, so certain tasks I may have to pass over to someone else, but we will see.
Any advice on where this industry is heading would be much appreciated.
thanks guys
