2. Hemingway App
Hemingway helps you simplify. It makes your sales copy more impactful and understandable for your online and offline prospects. It does this by analyzing your content and returning color-coded alerts signaling overly long or complex sentences, unnecessary adverbs, and passive voice.
Why is this important? Great marketers know that simple and clean messages cut through the noise. Simplicity gives you the absolute best chance to resonate with your prospects. This is just a great tool!

4. WordPress
WordPress is very powerful, yet easy-to-use website creation tool. Basically you just install a free instance of WordPress for the domain you’d like to use for your website. Once installed, you can select from literally thousands of highly configurable “themes” to get started designing your site or blog.
Your theme will determine the overall look, feel, and functionality of your site, but you’re still in control to modify the theme’s code if needed. Also, there are thousands of free plugins available to enhance the functionality of your theme. You search for plugins on www.wordpress.org similar to the way you would search and install an app for your phone from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
