Since promoting Business Catalyst to our community of designers and developers we have had a pretty good response. Many have said that it is the backbone of their business model. This means there are enough designer and developers to start quoting on Business Catalyst specific projects. As such, we have built a landing page to try and capture the businesses out there looking for Business Catalyst Specialists. The Business Catalyst Developers and Designers page is expected to start bringing in leads in the next month. We are also talking with Adobe about further cross promotion.

1. Icon Finder

Icon Finder is an impressive database of free icons with an intuitive search and browse interface. Icons are categorised by sets which helps to maintain a consistent theme when designing a website interface. There is a massive set of social media icons as well as many others. A very useful resource.

2. Proposable: A web based proposal builder with tracking

This is just brilliant. The sales process of winning new work is a delicate process. Many creative agencies are small boutique operations of a a few designers playing a bunch of different roles. This helps to make the sales role a little more turn-key, consistent and measurable.

“Proposable makes generating professional-level proposals a cinch,” says Gube, “and it has reporting features to analyze the performance of your proposals. It was created for salespeople, but as a designer, being a salesperson is a huge part of the gig, whether you’re freelancing or pitching a design idea to your managers.”

3. Free Printable Sketch Templates for Website Interface Design

We all do it. When we start a fresh website interface design project, we start sketching out our ideas. Which is an important step which ultimately saves time. However there are elements of sketching an interface that are usually the same each time. These free templates help streamline the interface sketching process, saving even more time adding value to your project.

4. A Zoomable jQuery Image Gallery Called jPhotoGrid

View Demo | Download Zip

It's another jquery image gallery, but this one is a little different and kinda neat. It takes a list of images and turns it into a grid where individual images are zoomed to the fore with a click. Good for catalogue type websites or portoflio websites. You can see a demo of the gallery in action.

5. Free Geographical Database Of All Countries (Over 8 Million Places): GeoNames

Marvelous! More and more websites are integrating web apps. One of the most common requirements of a web form is geographical location data. This nifty database provides us with every country, place and city plus additional statistical information about each location such as timezones, populations and capitals.

The data comes in tab-delimited + utf-8 formatted text files and can be downloaded as a whole or per country.

6. Browser Shots: a cross platform browser compatibility tester
