Time tracking software helps you increase an employee’s time management abilities and provide employees direct feedback on their targets versus productivity. If you have a small business or you are developer or an engineer or a student you should use a free application.

Colorhat is a free time management and time tracking software. At this time Colorhat is a single user system but soon it will also be available a multiuser functionality via friend and sharing functions. If you want to [...]

To be honest, I don’t think design can be done without using some guides, at least from time to time. Sure, most designers have a different way of seeing things than “normal” people, but I don’t think any of them has any guidelines inside the head… because this is today’s subject, and the tool to come with it is simply called Baseline.

Keeping typographic standards in mind, the guys from ProjetUrbain.com built Baseline with the goal of making website development easier. [...]

In my early freelancing days, I had to perform (a lot of!!) basic data entry tasks on some osCommerce-based site. After cursing the hell out of that platform, I got out of that job with my reputation clean, but decided to think more than just once or twice before playing with any kind of shopping cart piece of code.

Fortunately, the path I followed in the meantime helped me stay away from any kind of shopping cart (except those situations when [...]

This is an awesome morning, I tell you! It’s cloudy and cool, and I just got a link to a great video from a friend of mine. OK, here’s the video, although we’re not going to talk about it. What I have for you today is a video player component for your sites, and I am sure most of you will find it useful. After all, it’s always better to have some video content on a page, riiight?

One of the most painful parts of setting up a WordPress blog – at least for me – is choosing the theme. There are plenty of awesome free themes, as well as commercial ones, but it still feels the best when you do it yourself. The problem is that most theme generators don’t come for free, so finding a free online tool for creating WordPress themes really made my day!

WordPress Theme Generator allows you to create your own WordPress [...]

The problem with most pattern generators we talked about so far is that customization possibilities aren’t exactly endless. Obviously, the good part is that even my grandmother can use them, but with a little bit of training, I am sure she can also learn to create the tiles of a pattern pixel by pixel, enjoying the feeling offered by the complete control…

… offered by today’s tool, namely Stripe Designer! What can be done with it? Backgrounds, of course, and what [...]

Finally, we get back to some SEO tools. Since there are plenty of them available online, and some of them offer pretty rich features for no price, finding the best ones is a very hard task, if not impossible, but moving around and checking out the most interesting ones is surely more than just research work – to me, it’s a joyride!

Xinu, or Xinu Returns, is a very useful online tool that allows you to easily find out how’s your [...]

Bookmarks… oh, my, bookmarks! No matter how much I try, I simply can’t have them sorted properly. Sure, I use categories and tags, but I always end up with some bookmarks completely messed up, while others are nicely ordered. Oh, well… while the Flash component I’ll tell you about next won’t help me solve that issue, it will surely make your site much easier to bookmark by its visitors!

FlashBookmarks is a fully customizable Flash CS3 component (and absolutely free, too!) [...]

I have a dream, you know… I dream that, one day, delivering content will be 100% about the idea, and 0% about the work behind it. I will talk to a smart piece of software and describe how I want my next Web-based project to be, and then tweak the result. While this may seem like a crazy man’s dream, it’s enough to look at what’s going on around and figure out by yourselves that the scenario described above may [...]

Keeping the bond between you and your readers/clients alive is the key to success when talking about Web-based businesses, but that’s only the second part of it. Even harder is to create that close relationship I mentioned above, and while I can’t really help you with that one, I am sure that a contact form can help you keeping it all alive…

… despite the fact we’re talking about a piece of code that seems to have reached the end of [...]
