Business Tools & Resources

Squarespace* is (obvi) my go-to platform for building and managing websites, providing a great solution that covers design, SEO functionality, and e-commerce options.

I use Squarespace for myself and for all of my clients.

Moxie* is a CRM (like HoneyBook, Dubsado, etc), but actually built for freelancers and solopreneurs. I keep on waiting for Moxie to disappoint me, but it hasn’t yet. It has everything you need to run your business: proposals, contracts, invoicing, scheduling links, client communication, project management, time tracking, CRM, and even a customizable client portal. Really good customer support. $20/month.

Novo* is an online business banking account with no in-person branches. I opened my first account in 2020 and have been a happy customer since.

One of my favorite things is the ability to create ‘reserves’, or the envelope system (for those of you who have read Profit First, you’ll be able to sort all your income into corresponding reserves.)

Termageddon* specializes in helping website owners ensure compliance with privacy laws and regulations by providing a comprehensive and automated privacy policy generator. I use their legal pages for my own website, as well as recommend them to my web design clients.

Kit* (formerly ConvertKit) is an email marketing tool with robust offerings like visual automations, welcome sequences, and tags and segment. It’s also user-friendly and easy to navigate.

This is the platform to use is you value functionality, automations, workflows and ease.

I’ve used the Google Workspace Suite* for multiple businesses of mine. It’s easy to use and they keep adding functionality.

One of my favorite things is the ability to have multiple ‘aliases’, so you can have email addresses like ‘support’, ‘hello’, ‘info’ @ your domain …perfect for solopreneurs!

I use Canva every single day. Canva is my ride or die. From blog graphics to website images to infographics to freebie designs, Canva Pro is truly one of my most valuable subscriptions.

There’s a pretty good free subscription option available too.

I use Loom to record both short and in-depth training videos for my clients.

I also use it record quick tutorials for my clients and for how-to blog posts. You can sign up for free and get 5 minutes videos, which totally hits the spot when you’re just getting started.

Teachery* is a course platform that lets you build and sell courses, digital products, workshops, memberships and more. It’s simple, easy to use, and adaptable to fit a lot of different needs.

They’re currently offering a limited time lifetime membership.

This chrome extension allows you to create and save multiple color palettes for different projects or clients.

I've been using Color Buddy* (from The Color Palette Studio) for over a year now, and it's one of those tools that makes me wonder how I lived without it. I use it literally every single day for my own brand colors and for other projects and clients.

Pexels is one of my favorite resources for free stock photo and videos you can use everywhere. They have millions of high-quality royalty free stock images & copyright free pictures that you can use on your website, blog, social media, and even templates.
