Web development is a time consuming endeavor. A truly outstanding website usually represents weeks, if not months, of planning, design, development, and highly unglamorous grunt work. At the same time, many web projects are client based and run according to strict schedules and stringent deadlines. The nature of the business puts the designer in a tough position. They have to create dynamic and interesting content and they have to have it done yesterday.  

In order to deal with these constraints the designer must not only be disciplined and able but also thoroughly acquainted with the tools that they use. You can teach yourself the basics of any program but, unfortunately, much of this knowledge and ability can only be acquired through trial and error and countless hours of practice with the software. Who knows how much time can be saved by using keyboard shortcuts instead of multiple mouse clicks? It would serve you well to familiarize yourself with any time saving features your development program has to offer. Less time spent navigating the Help Menu is more time spent getting the project done.

Fireworks has many features that make the designer’s life a little easier. One of these features is the Library Panel.
