Useful Free Tools

As you will probably be aware, finding exactly what you want on the internet can often be a time-consuming and frustrating process. There are so many thousands of programmes out there that it difficult to know what’s good from what’s bad – the only way to know is to test the programs yourself and discover which ones work for you.

My aim is to cut through to the heart of the problem and provide you with the best the web has to offer. And more importantly, all of the programs I recommend are free to download and run. Here are my recommendations:
