Tutorial for a GIMP Button
Creating buttons for a website is a necessity if you are going to have more than a single page. Making these buttons can be a bit of a hassle. For this reason, many people choose to purchase generic buttons to which they can then add text. But if you want a custom button, you can use the button-making wizard in the freeware application GIMP. The process is quick and easy, and the result is impressively professional.
