A new year always signifies (or ought to?!) efficiency, resolutions, motto’s and in general… a big change. We’re a bit different – we like consistency. Toolwatch is one of those consistencies. For those of you that’s a bit clueless as to what Toolwatch is all about: it’s our weekly review of jaw-dropping tools available on the web that’s (1) useful, and (2) free. Yeah, we know how you go all weak-kneed when we use the word “free”.

If you’re a web design or development ninja (even aspiring ones count) and you’ve designed your own theme with gadgets and gizmos and plugins and tracking stuff, then you’ll undoubtedly be aware of the load-factor.

For our fellow designers and developers, Christmas usually emphasises the apparent lack of time we’ve got as every job is a “rush job”. Demanding clients, family and friend make for excellent reasons why you should use your time as efficiently as possible… without having to incur a significant cost either. With that in mind, we bring you tools that (1) EXTREMELY useful, (2) free, and (3) online.
When it comes to that time of the year, who want to REALLY do any kind of work? Unless you’re working for the United Nations, they never do any work in any case… well none that matters. I bet all you could be enticed to do is catch up on ridiculously funny emails, even if it’s just to satisfy the boss’s urge to “see” you “working”.
