At Miracle Websites, we give you HUNDREDS of FREE OSS tools that you can install on your website with just 1-Click.  But there are several other free OSS tools that you’re probably going to want to use as well.

They need to be installed on your computer, not on your website.  All of them can be installed just by clickingno how-to manuals needed.  Below is a list of tools we use daily to create Miracle Websites, and other websites that we create.

GIMP

Don’t worry, it’s an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program.

It will retouch photos, create header images, and much more.  GIMP is a replacement for the very expensive software program PhotoShop.   It’s a professional tool capable of doing anything you can think of (and a bunch of things you can’t) to images.

It, or it’s expensive equivalent, is usually close at hand for any serious website developer.

FileZilla

FileZilla is one of the most convenient ways to get files to and from your website.  These files might be images, or even an entire folder of stuff.

It’s very easy to set up, we even have a video showing how to do it.

BlueGriffon

BlueGriffon is an HTML editor.   It comes in SUPER handy for altering webpages.

Sometimes you may want to create an HTML table, or some other HTML code; BlueGriffon helps you do that quickly.  It has a graphical design interface that you use to create and alter code.  You will often then just copy and paste that code into another HTML document (like a WordPress page/post).
