Useful Tools for Collaborative Web Design Work

Useful Tools for Collaborative Web Design Work
Recently, WebDesignLedger published a fantastic article that talked about the benefits of collaborative web design. It explained the benefits of promoting teamwork, exposition of ideas, creation and expansion of knowledge, the mixture of different styles, meeting deadlines and multiple solutions to shared experiences. Awwwards supports this collaborative culture in which we believe, and we have prepared a list of interesting Web 2.0 tools that can be useful for teams working in web design.
