Great Free Applications

These are some of the great free applications we have used and love. In many cases you will be asked for a donation for applications created by small developers. If you like it and use it, send a few pounds.

Online Microsoft Word to HTML converter. When using many CMS systems it is necessary to remove extraneous code from Microsoft Word (and other products) before pasting. This free web page gives you the tool to do just that. http://word2cleanhtml.com/

Toggl. Record your time on any task. The basic Time Recording application is a great way to ensure the right amount of time is recorded for any job. https://www.toggl.com/

Browsers. Most web sites (all ours) work best if viewed using the latest browsers. If your machine is old and you haven't updated, check the links below for the latest. We recommend Firefox for the best all round performance and utility, Opera because it is a delight to use, Chrome for speed and simplicity, and Safari for some nice features.

Apple Safari | Firefox | Google Chrome | Internet Explorer | Opera
