Recommended Business Tools for Web Designers
A quick round-up of 10 essential sites that'll let you promote your (or your client's) local business on the web - for free.
I love Basecamp for 2 reasons. It's not only a great example of making a complex process simple through good web application design, plus it's a very useful service for web designers & developers to boot.
Basecamp lets me quickly and easily manage projects with clients and developers in different parts of the world, by helping me easily:
- Set up and track lists of tasks (which you can optionally associate with project milestones)
- Discuss work, ideas and anything else using messages and collaborative documents
- Get automatic notifications when things need doing, when comments have been made, and when things get done
- ... and lots of other stuff you can find out for yourself!
Basecamp is free to try out, and I thoroughly recommend checking it out if you have client projects that are even moderately complex.
