Free Web Design Software You Can Download Right Now

Even if you’re not a web designer, you never know when you might need to add a special announcement to your page, or download files to your computer to make your own backup.

With this free web design software, you can easily make changes to your own site, upload and download files to and from your web hosting service and much more, thanks to the kind folks at CoffeeCup Software

1. CoffeeCup Free HTML Editor – So it isn’t Dreamweaver or Expression Web (formerly FrontPage), but CoffeeCup’s free HTML editor will help you make basic changes to your web page without knowing how to program or code.  It also features built-in FTP (file transfer) so you can upload your finished work to your website with just a few clicks.  Download it free at: http://www.coffeecup.com/free-editor/

2. CoffeeCup Image Viewer – So you’ve got a bunch of photos you want to send to your web designer, but aren’t sure how to do it?  This free image viewer has a built-in zip-and-email function that will help shrink the size of the images, package them all into a single file and let you email it directly to your designer in just a few easy steps.  Download it free at: http://www.coffeecup.com/image-viewer/

3. CoffeeCup Free Zip Wizard – If you’ve ever downloaded a zipping/unzipping file utility such as WinZip, you know that after awhile, you have to pay to continue using the software.  While I wholeheartedly recommend supporting good shareware like WinZip, if you’ve spent your latest paycheck on filling up your gas tank and don’t have a cent to spare, consider CoffeeCup’s free zipping and unzipping utility which you can download free at:  http://www.coffeecup.com/zip-wizard/

4. CoffeeCup FTP – Maybe you want to download files from your web server without using the built-in FTP that comes with the free HTML editor above.  You might want to do this, for example, when making a backup of your site on your own computer.  If that’s the case, CoffeeCup free FTP software fits the bill nicely.  Just fill in the information you were given by your web hosting company (often sent in a “welcome” email) and press Connect to instantly see your web server files and folders.  Download it free at: http://www.coffeecup.com/free-ftp/

So whether you need to send files, make changes to your site or view images, CoffeeCup’s free software can help you do just that.  Who knows – you might even have enough left over to spring for your own cuppa joe!
