Wow! Great free tools to help develop your site

A cnet article I received today gave their recommended list of free online tools for beginners (and sometimes others) to use in building their sites. Some of these things are absolutely amazing. Their output looks great and in a few seconds you can save a lot of work as well as making it easy for beginners.

Check it out at: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-...ml?tag=nl.e776

It includes css typesett where you insert choices in a windows like fashion and get css code for your type, doTemplate where you choose a template and then use a simple form to modify margins, columns, even rounded corners, etc., and it generates a page template, a favicon generator, slideshow generator, button generator (nice looking web 2 buttons, etc.), and others (even a Wordpress theme generator).

Well worth checking out.

Nice. I could have used the Color Wizard a few days ago when I was re-designing my tempate. Choosing the right colours is always the hardest part for me.

James,

Thank you for drawing our attention to these tools. I'm not well-versed in programming or designing, so finding tools that allow me to "slop out" my ideas and then show them to people who can translate them to actual pages and features is a plus.

I'm always looking for the kind of resources your post cites.

Thanks again.

All the best,

James,

You've come through once again with very helpful tips for making web tasks both easier and more pleasureable. I'm looking forward to experimenting with the css typeset and color wizard tools in particular.

Thanks again!

Great link to some very nice tools. There was a funny joke once. It said, just because you know how to use Word doesn't mean you can write a screenplay. But you can definitely write an essay.
