I can code sites in html5 and css3 but my question is how do real world web designers created such beautiful sites that i can see on dribbble. what is the design process and what software should i be using. Im using a mac by the way.
Most probably start with a mockup in Photoshop/Gimp or Illustrator/Inkscape and then design the code to make a site look like their mockup. The first step is to be an artist and have an idea of what you want to see.
