Friday Five – Free Edition
// July 10th, 2009 // web thoughts
I’m currently reading Chris Anderson’s new book Free (Buy on Amazon or read online for free @ Scribd) and this has inspired today’s blog post. I’ve highlighted five sites/blogs that offer you something (pretty useful) for nothing!
- Creative Commons Imagery via Google Search – This has only just gone live, but Google image search now allows you to search for images that you can use on your site, with your blog posts, etc for free (just don’t forget the credit).
- User Testing @ fivesecondtest.com – For free? Well it’s not a massively comprehensive solution, but if you want to check if a design is conveying the key brand messages, this online service might be perfect. Simply upload a concept design and people then have 5 seconds to look at the design and feedback to you what stood out.
- Wireframe Tool – The Pencil Project is a great browser-based sketching an GUI creation tool that works inside of Firefox. One simple download and away you go…
- Twitter’s taken over the online world, which is probably a good thing. Grab this free Twitter Icon Set made available by the ever-excellent Smashing Magazine.
- WordPress templates are easy to find, but quality ones that work with the latest versions 2.7+ are not so easy. Here are 15 high quality, but still free templates that Noupe have pulled together.
Would love to hear any great resources any of you have found for free recently in the comments?
