Free Web Tools are everywhere on the web

Free Web Tools are everywhere on the web

by Rick Hendershot, Web Design Resources, Linknet Small Business Library

If you are new to the web you will appreciate all the help you can find to get your website up and running. There are a number of sites that make free web tools available to the rookie web designer, as well as more advanced webmasters. These free tools range from small scripts used to perform limited tasks (like visitor counters or traffic monitors) to more extensive programs that help you design your entire website (html editors and page layout tools). You can even find well designed free programs that do things like provide "Live Help" (which is basically an on-site chat utility), run a user forum, or automate your link exchange program.

Some of these programs are provided free of charge by your web host. They are often built right into your domain and you are not even aware of it. For instance one of my hosts includes about 20 free scripts that allow me to add things to my site like a Photo Gallery, User Forum, Content Management, limited E-Commerce, serveral Blogging programs, and  detailed traffic monitoring. Another of my hosts throws in a completely free browser-based site design tool. You can work from built-in templates to design your entire site without having to know any .html. At least that is what they claim.

Many of these scripts are written by programmers and web designers as part of the Open Source Initiative. These are generally collaborative efforts where a "community" of programmers work together to develop and enhance a particular project. The granddaddy of such programs is the UNIX operating system itself, along with popular variants like Linux and Free BSD. Yes, you can actually find an assortment of complete operating systems (alternatives to Windows) with all the bells and whistles and many highly developed applications.

But most of us are not interested in the more complicated aspects of "Open Source". However, we are interested in useful free programs that run on the desktops and servers we are currently using. And yes, there are many Open Source programs that fall into this category.

One way to find what you need is to do a search for "Free Web Tools". Or if you are looking for something specific like a "free html editor", or "free image editor" do a search for that. Sometimes these free tools will be limited editions of more powerful (not free) versions. Other times they will only work for a short period, like 30 days, after which time you have to either stop using them or buy a registered copy.

This is one reason why it is useful to determine if the particular program you are considering is "Open Source". If it is, the verion you download will not be a demo or time limited. It will be a free full version.

A growing number of Free Web Tools are being listed at the Free Web Tools site which is part of the Linknet Network of websites.
