| All of the software recommended below I use myself and use frequently. It is all of very high quality and most of it is free for non-commercial use. | ||||

| iMprinter is a program to imprint either text or a graphic on top of another image. Unfortunately no documentation is provided but a little playing will soon reveal its versatility. 'Must have' software. Freeware. | |||
| Excellent free FTP client. | |||
 | Absolutely excellent free program which spiders a web site and checks for broken links. The German author has made a courageous personal stand for Freedom of the Mind. Check out his site, it's very interesting. | |||
 It just keeps getting better! | Definitely the best image viewer around - and a lot more besides! Handles 66 (at the last count) static and multimedia formats, format conversion, image editing, image effects (.8bf filter handling). The author is continually extending and improving it. Free for non-commercial use. | |||
 | Free HTML compressor. | |||
| Use this software to create exquisite images. The wonderful galleries on the Fractovia web site demonstrate what can be produced by skilled users. All the fractals on this site have been created with Fractal Forge . Freeware. | |||
| ||
| Web Accessibility Toolbar for Internet Explorer. Free. | A must for developers. The Web Accessibility Toolbar has been developed to aid manual examination of web pages for a variety of aspects of accessibility. | |||
| ||||
| Free on-line check for internal and external broken links on your site. | |||
 | Free and very versatile on-line GIF image editor for web site builders. NOW CLOSED. | |||

 | Use this free tool to crawl your web site and automatically generate a ROR Sitemap. Then upload it to your web site's main directory. ROR is a rapidly growing XML format, more flexible and more complete than Google Sitemaps, for describing any common object on a web site (sitemaps, products, services, menus, images, reviews, contact info, business info, etc), so search engines can better understand its content. | |||
 | Use this online tool to easily create a favicon (favorites icon) for your site. A favicon is a small, 16x16 image that is shown inside the browser's location bar and bookmark menu when your site is called up. It is a good way to brand your site and increase it's prominence in your visitor's bookmark menu. | |||
 | A trip down memory lane for old programmers. An old idea put to new use. Use this online tool to easily create CSS sprites for your site. By combining many images into a single larger image and accessing them via CSS at defined X and Y co-ordinates, you can reduce the number of HTTP requests and so reduce page load time. |
