Almost 20 years went into the development of this Ultimate Resource of Marketing and Design Tools and it will be kept updated several times a year. Many of the items on this list are free resources or have a free level. This is far from finished.

I count 480 links at the moment, I think I have another 400 or so. We used to weed out the working links that we didn't use. We no longer do that as we have found that each link has its own relevance in some way to someone. What may work for one client might not for another. If the link works, we do not remove it. Enjoy!
