Button Studio
|
This is the tool that made all of the buttons on my site. It is shareware,
but is only $20. It does a wonderful job and I cannot image trying to
do a personal or professional site without it.

ISTool
|
Bjørnar Henden created a successor to "ScriptMaker" (below) called
ISTool to assist in the creation of Inno scripts.

Russel Jordan Software
|
Jordan Russel has created a public domain installer program (inno)
for Win311/Win95/WinNT/Win2000 that is easily on par with
InstallShield's InstallShield Express2.

Quick Menu Builder
|
This is a really cool software package. It creates for you the
"autorun.inf" type handlers used on virtually every CD/CD-R/CD-RW made
commercially. It has options for proclaiming areas of your splash screen
graphic as a button, has options for linking a click on those areas to
actions (open file -- for README.TXT and the like, execute -- for an
installer, etc.) All in all, a pretty cool freeware package.

Meta Wizard
TagCheck
WebSpeed
WebAnalyze
ScriptMaker
|
This set of tools are all free. They allow you to (respectively) define Meta
Tags (so your web pages find their way into the correct search engine
categories), check your HTML tag usage (similar to a web validator),
determine how fast it will take to download your web page from a web
server over a given speed modem, to validate that a given web
page's links are still functional, and to create installer scripts for
Jordan Russel's inno.

Color Lab
|
This is a visual color picking tool that is very nice. It limits you
to the basic 216 web-safe colors and will allow you to multiply check
different colors against different backgrounds with different color text.
|
|
Paint Shop Pro
|
This is a good introductory level image creation tool that has room to
expand. As your skill set grows, you can add in other affects, filters,
etc. to meet your needs. I think it runs about $80.

HTML 4.0 Reference
|
This is a tool for understanding how HTML works within various
browsers. It doesn't appear to be up to date for Netscape 6.0,
but does cover the bases very well.
