<p><strong>Resources for creating your sales letter</strong></p>
<p><em>Free </em></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://kompozer.net">KompoZer</a><em> &#8211; </em>Basic and simple. Can be a hassle sometimes, but the price is right and it gets the job done.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Paid Resources</em></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://sitesell.com">Site Sell</a> &#8211; I&#8217;ve heard great things and I may end up using them in the future.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver/">Dreamweaver </a>- Like KompoZer but 10 times better I&#8217;ve heard. Pretty expensive though. Made by Adobe.</li>
<li><a href="http://elance.com">Elance.com</a> &#8211; Hire an outsourcer to do it. This is what I&#8217;ll be doing to design the final site (if the muse test goes well).</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Creating Logos &amp; Graphics</strong></p>
<p><em>Free</em></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.gimp.org/">Gimp</a> &#8211; Gimp is awesome. I use it exclusively. It&#8217;s very similar to Photoshop.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Paid</em></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/compare/">Adobe Photoshop</a> &#8211; The standard in graphic design.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Open Source / Free Pictures</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/">Flickr Creative Commons</a> &#8211; A lot of high quality pictures that you can use for free.</li>
</ul>
<p>Using Gimp and KompoZer you can test your muse&#8217;s sales letter for free. But I&#8217;ll warn you, these programs aren&#8217;t perfect.</p>
