Entrepreneurs try to be always updated about new ways of cutting costs for their companies. We made some Internet research and discovered some interesting ones. Here we go…

Photoscape: create, edit and enhance your pictures and make all believe you paid a high amount to a designer. You can also generate banners, animated-gifs and other graphical stuff. The drawback is that only works for Windows.

Logomaker: this one could be suitable for TVSS current students that have a need for a logo. With this website you can create it for free, online and in less than five minutes.

Buttonator: Do you want to have professional web buttons without writing a line of code? If so, maybe you need buttonator.com. Also helpful for TVSS projects.

Constantcontact: is a provider of email marketing, event marketing and online surveys. We found it helpful to create good looking emails for you Internet campaigns. Is not totally free, but you can be “creative” using the 60 day free trial available.

Histats: this is one of our favourites. Here you can find complete set of services to keep a complete track of your visits that can be useful to show a proof of your activity to investors. Some of the services are: average visit length, page views per visit, click count, IP exclusion, traffic by URL or tittle or user geolocation that could be key to see the effectiveness of emails campaign targeted to an area (ex: study the response of a 20% discount Constantcontact campaing targeted for yours user from Albacete, )

Livezilla: has all the extended features (webcam support, geolocation, SSL support, chat queue line,…) of other commercial chat support software but it’s completely free!. Extremely easy to setup and completely customizable.

We invite you all to continue researching on the internet, and you will be fascinated about the huge amount of free professional tools available out there.
