The “Around the Web” category has quick short posts about web sites or blog posts we found interesting and wanted to share with you.

Few free good resources

This is a quick post where I just wanted to make others aware of these cool free tools and resources available.

  • Smashing Magazine blog post about using Opera’s Mobile Emulator to test how web sites look on mobile. The article has a link to where you can download the emulator.
  • Mobilizer, a free Adobe Air tool in beta, where you can test how web sites look on mobile.
  • Onextrapixel.com with a free downloadable e-commerce icon set.
  • DeveloperDrive.com with a post with their list of 10 Best Open Source Tools for Web Developers

Here are some more good freebies and resources to check out that I didn’t have a chance to post earlier.

Legal documents and resources for web work

A few weeks ago we posted about adding terms and privacy legal notices on your web site, with information from Smashing Magazine‘s email newsletter. Today, we’re posting about a good blog post by none other than Smashing Magazine, where they broke out a list of legal documents/contracts that web designers (and just about anyone who works with anything web-related) should be using and made the documents downloadable for free. Make sure you check out the Useful Legal Documents For Designers (PDF/DOC) blog post right now and download those documents.

Online payment services for your business

Over at WebDesignerDepot.com they have a good blog post with a list of the major online payment services. Make sure to check out and read the entire blog post.

Here’s the list of online payment services, but read the original blog post to hear about the pros and cons of each.

Do you have a web site and you’re not sure what the terms of use and privacy policy should say? Well there are a few sites out there that can help you and point you in the right direction. Smashing Magazine‘s email newsletter gives a few good sites to check out that provide these for free. Make sure to check it out.
