Some free web design tools

There are some free tools that are poking their noses ahead of the pack and becoming the industry recognised leaders in their fields and are in general not that far behind the commercial applications.

Typography tester and advisor

Using this a bit, very interesting, I hope it stays around!
Thank you Mr. Pearson! typography master (whoever you are).

Kuler is a colour scheme picker by Adobe

I like it, it is an online tool, see here

Filezilla is killer!

Filezilla is a great free FTP client so you can upload files like .html webpages and .jpg, .png and .gif images to your webpsite.

Paint.net is almost "free photoshop"

After trying "the gimp" and other free image creators and photo editors I finally found paint.net and it is the goods!

My requirements are that the programme must be fairly easy to use and easy for me to be able to teach my clients how to use it and paint.net is the answer!
It supports layers, resizing, adding text on the image and most of the important photoshop tools that I need my clients to use.

Komposer WYSIWYG webpage editor

This not a final recommendation because Komposer alters the code on the fly and sometimes this can change the layout but it is the best I have found yet.
