It’s super important to make your marketing materials as visually appealing as possible.

Problem is, actually creating all these beautiful visuals isn't exactly every marketer's forte. Oh, another problem? Design software can cost an arm and a leg (plus all the classes you need to take to learn how to work the darn stuff).

Here's a free tool that that can make you look like a master designer!

Color Scheme Designer is just what you think it is. Simply pick one color, and view various schemes of your choosing -- monochromatic, complementing colors, whatever. You can even preview a sample website with your palette in a light and dark version.

Find A Free Web Hosting Site

It's been a long time since Geocities has been around. Geocities may not be around anymore, but that doesn't mean there aren't options to host a free and simple web site. Web hosting site FreeWebs morphed into Webs.com. The free package on Webs.com offers 40 MB of space, 100 MB of bandwidth, five form submissions, a subdomain, and web-based and email-based file uploading. They have a template for creating sites, or if you like a little more control, the more familiar file-like structure for you to interact with.
