Notepad++

Notepad++ is a high quality, light-weight and easy to use text/code editor. It is perfect for amending HTML and PHP files because it provides neat line numbers, excellent search facilities and does not pollute the file as a regular word processor would. Notepad++ is open source and free to use and distribute. Grab your copy below we will use it alot as we go step by step through creating your new e-commerce business.

GIMP

GIMP is fantastic. In my opinion it is one of the best examples of open source excellence. It is true it is not as slick or fully featured as PhotoShop but it can do just about everything I ever needed for any e-commerce business I ever got involved with. Add to this the hundreds off add ons that are available (also free) and the fact that GIMPis MUCH easier to use than PhotoShop and you realise why so many people rave about GIMP. Get your copy below.
