Free Online Tools to Design (and Maintain) Your Website
These days, it seems that everyone has a website. Unfortunately, many of these websites are either bland, or sloppily designed by people who don't understand how to use HTML effectively or are intimidated by it. And, they don't have the money to spend on a good page editor, so they limp along using the page templates that their website might provide, or they attempt to use programs like MS Word, which offers conversion to HTML. Yet, there are many free tools available that people can use to give their sites some extra polish that will put them a cut above most sites on the WWW. Here is a listing of three of my favorite online tools that will help you create and manage your site: ColorMaker http://www.bagism.com/colormaker/
Media Builder http://www.mediabuilder.com
QuickCheck http://www.elsop.com/linkscan/quickcheck.html
I hope these tools help you to make your website even better than it is currently. Please let me know what you think of them. About The Author Susan Gross How-to articles on computer topics updated often. http://avalon-technical-services.com/
