Every web project starts from an idea, a design. Most designs are made using design tools like the very popular Photoshop which can transform your ideas into great pieces of art. The ease of converting a PSD file to HTML depends, of course, on how detailed a design is. The old-school schema was to slice the design into images and implement them into the webpage using CSS. Recently, CSS decided to give designers a hand and to implement many design features from Photoshop to the brand new CSS3. Now you can create rounded corners, drop-shadows, and gradients using pure CSS.
This was the good side of the story, but there`s of course a bad side. Many of the CSS3 properties have multiple browser-specific implementations. This means you have to specify for every property you use a lot of lines of code(quite intimidating code) for every browser, in order to render the result.
The solution is without a doubt, the awesome CSS3 generators. They are built to work as a design tool, which will not generate a design, but some pieces of code for your webpages. Next I want to present you some of the best CSS3 gradient generators which will certainly save you a lot of time, and we all know how important time is!
