If you are looking for freebies, then you have come to the right place! We at FGD have proved the saying 'nothing in this world is free' wrong. All the freebies in this section are freeware, not shareware. Shareware is free for an evaluation period only and requires payment if you want to continue to use it beyond the evaluation period. You could download and install a shareware program and use it freely throughout the trial period; however, some shareware products lack some of the features of the fully functional commercial version. For example, you may spend hours creating an animation using the latest animating software, only to find that you can not export the final product for implementation in to your project. Freeware on the other hand is software that is available for download and unlimited use without charge.
While every effort have been made to ensure that the freeware listed in this section are spyware and viruses free, I would strongly recommended that you download with caution. These programs are stored on third party servers and so we have no control over their quality. If you ever come across malicious software, please contact FGD ASAP so that we are aware of it.
The freeware categories found on this page are as follows:
 Software |
Flash |
Web
Objects |
| Templates |
Graphics |
After
download and before you install, why don't you test the program for
'nasties' using a FREE malware scanner. The top FREE malware scanners
can be downloaded from the FGD Software
(freeware) downloads page. Before you download and install any of
the FREE stuff obtainable through this section, please read our disclaimer.
If you come across a freebie that is of a similar type to the ones listed on this site, that you think is particularly good, please contact me so that I can list it on this site.

Flash Flash primarily is animating software used to develop interactive and captivating graphics for Web sites as well as desktop presentations, games and Websites themselves. It is a product of the Macromedia company and all objects created by this software needs to be displayed using a FREE browser plug-in called Flash Player. Many people these days have this plug-in installed on their PC and for those who don't, it is very easy to acquire. Most Flash created objects on the Web generally come in the form of advertising banners. The major problem with Flash created objects is that they can be time consuming to build and require Flash skills to create and update. In the Flash page, you can get your hands on FREE Flash objects that anybody (well almost anybody) can use and manipulate. To find out how to insert Flash buttons into your Web page, see my tutorial 'Creating and Inserting Flash Buttons'. |

When acquiring free stuff from the Web, caution should always be taken when downloading any freeware. Sometimes programs described as free, come with hidden costs in the form of trojans, spyware and viruses. These little nasties hide themselves in the programs you are downloading and enter your PC to either corrupt your system or record your personal details.
- Try and find out if other people have had problems with the program you are about to download -- forums are good for this.
- Download to the desktop so that it is easily locatable for installing and deleting.
- Registering an installed free program could mean that you will be subject to spamming or telemarketing -- or both.
Research the program and the site before you download. Try to download from reputable sites only and ensure that you read their terms and conditions first.
