Wonderwebware (http://wonderwebware.com/), is a web design tools site that offers, among other free tools, a screen ruler that allows the designer to measure in pixels, millimeters, centimeters, and inches. There is a screen capture utility, and a tool that converts text to HTML. It's a pretty straightforward site without a lot of frills.

There is a "how it works" button in the navigation menu to guide the user through the process of creating a poster, sign, banner, or sticker.

A1 Web Design Co. (http://www.a1co.com/) boasts that "when you order a web site from A1 Web Design, (you) receive a One Year Domain Registration and One Year of Website Hosting absolutely FREE!" Everything else costs. A lot. I figure they must be excellent Web page designers, though you can't really tell it from their own plain-Jane page. However, they do provide a portfolio of their work, which consists of thumbnail images of their clients' websites. They look impressive enough, but it would have been nice to be able to click on the image and be taken to the site.
