Coffee Cup Software

I'm a big fan of Coffee Cup Software.  They just updated the my favorite program, Web Form Builder - and provided the upgrade for free.  The drag-and-drop, WYSIWYG workspace lets you add and customize form elements.  The output is a Flash-based form and Web Form Builder handles all aspects of form creation, including the behind-the-scenes details. Save your form results to a database or text file on your server, or have them e-mailed right to your inbox.

Other programs I use include:

CoffeeCup GIF Animator:  allows you to easily create or edit animated GIFs.

CoffeeCup Flash Menu Builder:  create interactive menus for your website. Choose your button design, adjust colors and fonts, and add sound and effects.

If you need it, they also have a free FTP program:  http://www.coffeecup.com/free-ftp/.

Price:  Depends on application; can purchase as package.  Upgrades free

Pixie: Color Picker utility

Pixie is a utility made especially for webmasters and designers. It is a color picker with few extra goodies.

Run it, simply point to a color and it will tell you the hex, RGB, HTML, CMYK and HSV values of that color. You can then use these values to reproduce the selected color in your favorite programs. Pixie will also show the current coordinates of your mouse pointer.

Price:  Free
