I know my preference in web design software is contrary -- most folks like FrontPage because it is easier to learn. The drawback is that FP uses extensions that make your code messy -- and if you want to eventually turn your site maintenance over to a professional, chances are that they use DW. Your new designer may throw her hands up in defeat and have to start over! There are many inexpensive training options out there for DreamWeaver, if you are serious about maintaining your own code. And be sure to check eBay and Half.com for deals on the not-quite-latest version.
FTP Voyager is the most powerful FTP client program for Windows 9x/Me/NT/2000/XP on the market. With an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, FTP Voyager lets you update a Web site with a single click, transfer files directly between FTP servers, resume interrupted downloads, and perform advanced file searches while doing other FTP tasks.
My favorite feature is the built-in FTP Scheduler. With it, you can schedule all of your routine tasks, such as backing up and updating web sites, to take place at the time that is most convenient for you. FTP Scheduler is capable of uploading, downloading, synchronizing folders, and deleting files/folders. Download the free trial and test it out for 30 days!
Eliminate the worry of losing important files! Backup your data, or even your entire hard drive, using this highly configurable software and your choice of backup medium. Three different versions allow you to perform exact backups (Mirror), or save backup time and space with differential (Classis) or incremental backups (Pro version offers all options).

If you are still using a spreadsheet (or pencil and paper) to keep track of your income and bills, maybe it's time to upgrade! Quickbooks Pro is one of the most popular accounting software packages available, for a reason -- it's relatively easy to learn, and most accountants are familiar with it and can help you if you have any questions.
* We use this software to do our Solo-E accounting and highly recommend it.
If you have a PC based business and use the Windows operating system, you'll find this a great, inexpensive tool for tracking how much time you spend on each project or for each client. Download the trial version and give it a whirl.
