Free web design resources

Believe it or not, several people and companies earn a lot of money by giving away free stuff. While it is true that they don't receive cash in exchange for their free products, services or resources, they will greatly benefit from the buzz that is generated around their brands.

To begin with, sites that give away free stuff can get lots of visitors and website mentions, which bring in even more visitors! Then, free stuff makes people like and trust the company, enticing them to purchase some of its paid products as well. Finally, free stuff helps build company brands, especially when the stuff that's given away has a high perceived value.
