Resources... reference, tools, free stuff, etc

In this area you'll find some useful information and links to more useful information. there's stuff here for designers, entrepreneurs, writers, comics, developers, administrators... a little for everyone...we'll be adding to this section as often as we find more good pieces for it, so you might want to bookmark this page.

And... we even have links to the competition - other people/places who might be able to do the work you're after... what's important here is that you get the website that you want and that you find someone to do it who shares your vision.

We believe it's important to "give back" to the community.

That could be your own neighbourhood, your town, city or province, or a "developing" nation. It could be your church, school, cadet corps, sports team, arts academy, SPCA or hospital.

Whatever it is, we encourage you to give to it.

Here are a few places that could use your help. (Do you work for a charitable organization that would like a little extra webspace... contact us, we may put you here)
