In several previous Free Friday posts, we�ve noted that in addition to no-cost alternatives to programs like Microsoft Office, Photoshop, and Quickbooks, there are certainly free- and surprisingly streamlined- email systems available as well.
Every company needs to utilize email, but even platforms with low costs can add up quickly for businesses with limited funds. Also, why pay even $5 when you can have easily adaptable and multifaceted email solutions like eM Client for nothing?
Credited by PCMag.com as offering a formidable �Outlook clone,� eM Client offers an interface that users accustomed to Outlook appreciate, along with fast, fully integrated features.

We've all heard the adage, "Nobody ever learned anything from a compliment."
Well, this can also apply to determining how to optimize your business website.
One of the most helpful ways to avoid web design mistakes is to recall your own visits to sites that already made them and ended up putting you through a less than convenient browsing experience you don't want your own visitors to endure.
As we have discussed on several other Web Design Wednesdays, making your online presence user-friendly is all about putting yourself in your users' shoes and behind their cursors. I know one basic detail- or lack thereof- that really gets under my skin is the absence of a HOME tab.

Are Web Directories Dead Yet?
In our quest to get our clients' websites indexed and prominently ranked on Google, Bing, and Yahoo, we tend to keep our efforts search engine-focused, while there exists a valuable and frequently overlooked tool that can drive the traffic your website needs: online directories.

Listing your website in these directories offers cheap- or often free- and easy exposure and a few other benefits to boot.
Submitting the clients of my Los Angeles web design and SEO company to online directories is a routine part of our campaign efforts.

How Fast is Your Android Mobile Phone?
In an earlier post, we detailed several quick and simple strategies to speed up the operations of your PC, as it can get easily slowed down by a loaded cache, data history, and cookies.
As we�ve also noted on several Mobile Mondays, our smartphones have become portable- and in some sense even more capable - PC�s that we carry everywhere and use constantly to manage our professional and personal lives.
With all that use, they encounter essentially the same problems our desk and lap tops do; that is, their memory and space gets used up and they get sluggish. If this sounds like your Android, then History Eraser might be all it needs.

Bring Out the GIMP�shop, That Is
In recent Free Friday posts, we�ve already gone over cost-free alternatives to commonly de rigueur- but also expensive- office applications and services like Microsoft Office and Quickbooks. Yet, not every enterprise�s needs are limited to accounting and word processing.
If you work in multimedia, flash, logo, or website design (like me), you are probably all too familiar with a program called Photoshop.
Photoshop is a highly versatile graphic editing tool that has set the standard for creating and editing digital images. Purchasing it also runs you approximately $700, which for many freelance designers and quite a few businesses is an unfeasibly hefty price tag.
Wouldn't it be nice to find a cheaper alternative? or even a free one?
