There was a point when widgets were everywhere on the web. However, it seems like the widget craze has slowly diminished over the past few months. Although most people don’t realize the power of widgets, it can be one of the most successful tool for your blog or websites. There are many services out there that help you create free widgets. There is one problem though, most of these free widget creating sites force you to add a link at the bottom which makes it look a little tacky, in my opinion.

While we were trying to find some sites that let you create free widgets we came across KickApps. One thing that we loved the most about this application is that it lets you create widgets without forcing you to add their link on the widget. Makes it look custom and quite impressive.

Creating a widget using this site can’t be any easier. Its a matter of choosing what you want, how you want and clicking a few buttons to get it going. A very easy and helpful application for anyone looking to create widgets that look nice and custom made. We created a widget to see how long it would take us to create a simple one and we finished creating our widget within 5 minutes. You can see the final product below. We wanted to embed the actual widget but for some reason it didn’t work. I am not sure if the problem is with the code or myself. I can almost put money down that its me and not the code. Usually Alice or Ritu are the one’s who do these kind of reviews and such. I gave it a try and didn’t work out. But I urge you to give it a try and am sure it will work for you. I am just not very web savvy ( my job requirement is to find entertaining things not useful things, but wanted to give a try ). Anyway, this is what it looks like once its created,

Give it a try. Its easy, affordable (can’t be cheaper than free) and takes less than 5 minutes.
