9. Inspect – free website ‘element’

What it offers: Inspect is a tool that allows you to mock up what the website would look like if you did only this. What do I mean by that? I mean you can use inspect to play with a page’s dimensions, or change the code of a webpage to see what the page would look like with the new code. Changes made while using inspect don’t change the page’s actual code, so when you refresh the page, all edits will disappear. Unsure how to access inspect? Simply simultaneously press the keys ‘command + option + i’ or right click on a webpage and select on “inspect”.

What it’s great for: view a website by device, making screen grabs that fit specific dimensions, mocking up website tweaks.
