Short, practical summary built from the thread so far: pick tools by the job you need them to do—capture, design, prototype, build, test, and ship. is right that basics matter; ’s paper-first habit is a reliable way to capture requirements quickly; and ’s emphasis on typography and color is exactly the kind of detail that separates “ok” from “polished.” Rather than collecting many apps, choose one strong tool for each stage and make sure work moves cleanly between them.

  • Sketch & capture: keep quick paper sketches or screenshots with a short note (date, context, who said it). Attach those images to the ticket or task so nothing is lost.
  • Wireframe → prototype: move from low-fidelity layouts to an interactive prototype that demonstrates navigation and basic states. Maintain a single source of truth for colors, spacing and type scales (design tokens).
  • Implementation: build modular, semantic HTML and CSS with a mobile-first mindset. Export assets as optimized SVG when possible, and use responsive image techniques to serve the right size.
  • Test & optimize: test on multiple viewports and browsers, run basic accessibility checks against WCAG contrast rules, and measure load performance (large images and unused code are common culprits).
  • Workflow: use version control, simple branching for features, and an automated build step for minification/image compression so handoff to hosting is predictable.

Practical selection tips: prefer tools that export code-friendly assets, support component reuse, and play well with version control and CI. Standardize naming, keep a short toolset, and document patterns in a simple style guide. If a sketch happens during a call (as describes), capture it immediately and create one follow-up task to digitize and confirm the requirement. This small discipline prevents most communication errors.

Personally the tools I like to use are a pen, some paper, stapler and a piece of software called open project. If however your talking about web development tools then it would be Notepad++, Putty, Eclipse and Maven.
If your wondering why my web designing tools are so odd it's because I plot the initial design on paper which is then proceed with the main design and analysis in open project. The good thing about ploting the initial design on paper is that you can be talking to a client while away from your computer (eg on the phone) while plotting the requirements and initial design on paper. In most cases a case sanario would be done at this stage but I prefer to do an initial design along with the case sanario so there aren't any communication errors.
