a website is made up of many components like logo, menu system, news scroller, flash image slider etc etc. take a menu system - earlier we used to search at random on google for free scripts to make menus. then we discovered top professional software like sothink dhtml menu which gave us fantastic looking menus with minimum coding effort. my question is - where can i get a list of top notch professional industry standard software for each component of a website. i hope my question is clear. ask me for any clarification. thank you in advance for your time and efforts.

asked for an industry-standard tool list; pointed toward using a CMS and mentioned editor-integrated extensions. Below is a compact, practical map of common website components, recommended professional tools or approaches, and a short workflow to pick the right tool for each role.

Design/prototyping: Figma, Sketch, Axure, Balsamiq. Vector/logo work: Illustrator, Affinity Designer, Inkscape (export SVG). Raster/photo: Photoshop, Affinity Photo, GIMP. Icons: Font Awesome, Iconify, IcoMoon. Layout & utilities: Bootstrap, Tailwind CSS. Component libraries (React/Vue): Material, Ant, Headless UI variants. Navigation/menus: semantic <nav> + CSS-first patterns augmented by accessible JS only when needed. Sliders/galleries: Swiper, Splide, PhotoSwipe (ensure keyboard access and respects prefers-reduced-motion). Forms: native HTML5 patterns plus framework validators; always validate on server. Search: Algolia or Elasticsearch for scale, Lunr/Fuse for client-side. CMS/back-end: traditional CMS or headless (choose by editorial workflow). Analytics and performance: mainstream or privacy-first analytics, Lighthouse and CI audits. Version control & deploy: Git + CI/CD, platforms like Vercel/Netlify or equivalent.

Selection workflow and cautions: start by listing required components and classify the site (static brochure, editorial, SPA, e-commerce). Prioritize accessibility, performance, maintainability, and license compatibility. Prefer semantic HTML, mobile-first CSS, SVG for vector graphics, lazy-loading and responsive images, and minimal JS for basic UI. Avoid obsolete tech (Flash) and autoplay-heavy patterns. Prototype in a design tool, build reusable components (design system), and run automated accessibility and performance checks in CI.

Authoritative references for accessible component patterns and semantic markup: WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices and MDN — nav element.

well you could actually get a free content mangement system which will probably have modules that are easy to configure depending on what you want the website to do. If you want commercial go ahead and pay for it.tey this url and test out some open source CMS's Open Source Cms

I have used many products from Web Assist that integrate with Dreamweaver with great success. I started with the Web Designer Suite but quickly up sized to the Super Suite (I guess the term should be "super-sized") AND.. if you order ASAP you can get 50% off!
