This CD is packed with loads of creative goodies fit to grace your superb Web Design Special issue! As you might expect, there's a larger than usual selection of design and illustration applications and tools. We hope you learn a few new tricks and let us know about any improvements you make to your own Web sites. There's no better place to start than to register your fully licensed and working version of Quask FormArtist Presto, currently selling for £29, but yours for FREE! It provides you with a simple tool for designing and deploying graphically rich Web-based feedback forms, surveys, and online opinion polls. Because you can represent your ideas so much more effectively, chances are you'll get far more valuable feedback from your site visitors. It also allows you to analyse these responses easily.

Another superb toy well worth having a play with is KoolMoves. This Web animation software is a superb cost-effective alternative to Macromedia Flash that will help you create your own Flash movies as well as frames for animated GIFs. It is powerful yet easy to learn and easy to use, so it's a great introduction to animated design for the novice. We've also rounded up many of the other design tools and resources included in Mike's exhaustive cover feature. Further artistic treats include AceHTML, Advanced Effect Maker (Mac), Fireworks MX, Flash MX, Xara Webstyle 4, XMLspy 2004, AllWebMenu Pro, ACDSee, Paint Shop Pro 8.1, SWiSHmax, GraphicConverter (Mac), PaintFX (Mac), and a lot more.

As always, we've included updates to loads of other popular or downright essential apps to ensure your files are the freshest around without having to spend your own time downloading. We're already looking for content for next month's CD, so please email us and visit our forums with more ideas for the disk. We enjoy reading all your feedback.
