By Creative Bloq Staff

Want to take your design business to the next level? These three tools will set you in good stead.

The life of a designer can sometimes be a struggle, so it's always great to come across tools which aim to not only make life a little easier but cut costs too. Here are three top tools that aim to do just that…

01. IM Creator (opens in new tab)

IM Creator website builder

IM Creator enables creatives to develop effective and successful websites with ease

One of the top website builders online, IM Creator enables creatives of all disciplines and budgets to develop effective and successful websites with ease. Its white label tool (opens in new tab) is a brilliant solution for any creative looking to grow their design business, providing the ability to create multiple websites under your own brand, set prices, templates, and customise everything to fit the needs of a growing business.

Using XPRS website building, its pre-made content blocks (called stripes) result in cleaner code and a better ranking in Google because of it. An affordable and effective solution for anyone needing to create more than two websites, artist and designers all over the globe are already taking advantage of IM Creator's white label tool.

Want to see it in action? Take a look Thechef.io (opens in new tab) – a white label of IM Creator.

If you’re after a design tool to show off your skills, Atomic may just be the solution

If you’re after a design tool to show off your skills, Atomic may just be the solution

If you're after a design tool to show off your skills to prospective clients, Atomic may just be the solution. A web design tool, Atomic allows users to create a design in the browser (PC and Mac), and then share on a range of devices, including the Apple Watch.

Starting with either a blank canvas or designs pulled in from Photoshop or Sketch, users can utilise Atomic's toolset to add interactive elements to designs, which can then be shared with clients and colleagues. Offering brilliant collaborative abilities, feedback can be also added directly to the project. A brilliant tool for showing clients mockups or giving developers an overview of what you'd like to create.
