Tools

Fancy giving it a go yourself? It could be easier than you think.

I’ve created a set of free tools which can do some of the things I offer as services. Some of these things aren't nearly as hard as they seem and it could save you some money.

  • Aspect Ratio Box Generator

    Generate the HTML and CSS code required to create aspect ratio boxes.

  • Colour Contrast Checker

    Compare a foreground and background colour to find out the colour contrast ratio and check whether you’re WCAG compliant.

  • Date Calculators

    Calculate the amount of time between two dates or add/subtract a period of time from a date with these date calculators.

  • Percentage Change Calculator

    Calculate percentage increase and decrease with an easy to use calculator.

  • QR Code Generator

    Create a customisable QR code by editing the size, background and foreground colours and save as a lossless SVG file.

  • Random Colour Generator

    Generate random colours – either completely from random – or analogous, monochromatic and complementary colours.

  • URL Encode and Decode

    Encode and decode full URLs and partial text strings with this tool so that they are safe to use in your code.
