Marketing: Web Tools for Development

BUILD YOUR WEB SITE

Synthasite: Free Web Site Builder and Host
Need a Web site…yesterday? Have no clue about CSS or Web development? No problem.

Synthasite is an amazing free tool that makes creating a Web site extremely simple. The application allows users to choose a standard template, effortlessly create pages and modify headers.

If you don’t know HTML, you can use the WSYWIG (What You See is What You Get) editor to add text, and the drag-and-drop feature makes inserting images and columns very simple.

Best of all, Synthasite will provide a free sub-domain to have your site online in seconds. If you’ve already purchased a domain name, they can redirect and also host your site for free.

Marketing: Web Tools for Design

DESIGN YOUR WEB SITE

CrowdSpring: Graphic Design Marketplace (And Much More)
Ever paid a designer a large sum of money only to be dissatisfied after three rounds and stuck with a logo or Web site you detest? Be dissatisfied no more!

I love the concept behind CrowdSpring. You submit your request, set the price, then scroll through pages of gorgeous designs submitted for your approval. If you see something you like, you can ask a designer for specific revisions before you seal the deal.

CrowdSpring ensures that you get your artwork and the freelancer gets paid. The best part, you’re guaranteed at least 25 submissions. And now, as part of their “Give Back” initiative, nonprofits can obtain custom designs for FREE. It doesn’t get much better than that.
