Tools For the People That Do It All

The Contract Shop

lawyer writen & reviewed contracts

When it comes to doing client work, there are a lot of moving parts, so it's crucial to have a solid contract in place that protects you AND your client. We create our contracts using The Contract Shop because not only are they legit, but they actually break it all down so that both you and your client can understand it. No lawyer jargon here!

Adobe Creative Cloud

professional design tools

We would be lost without Adobe Creative Cloud! We literally use at least one of their creative software every day and have been doing so for the last 15 years. We love each program in the cloud for different reasons: InDesign is our go-to when it comes to designing brand guidelines, style guides and anything editorial-based, while we opt for Illustrator when we're designing smaller vector and type-based projects like branding, social media graphics, vector and font manipulation.

Flodesk

Email Campaign Manager

You’ve heard it before: consistent branding is key! In our experience, finding an email campaign manager that allowed us to create on-brand emails and build our list was SO hard. Luckily, we found the best one out there so you don’t have to go through the same thing we did because Flodesk is the best place to create aesthetically pleasing email campaigns with their drag-and-drop builder.

HoneyBook

client management tool

HoneyBook is a CRM (client relationship management) tool that helps you manage projects and tasks, book clients, send contracts, process invoices and communicate with clients. As a branding and website design company working with busy small business owners, we couldn’t survive without this tool. Not only does it keep everything in one place, but it also creates a streamlined, on-brand experience for our clients so we all have one less thing to worry about!

Later

Social Media Scheduling Platform

Later has made keeping up with our IG a breeze. We love Later because it allows us to plan our content in advance so we can sit back and watch our IG grow while showing up consistently and authentically to our feed. If you want to make boosting your IG engagement even easier, check out our 140 IG post and story templates to fill up your content calendar in Later!

Google Business Suite

Business Tools

From a custom business address to additional cloud storage space for backing up files, an all-in-one calendar, scheduling and video calls that let you meet with clients for more than 45 minutes, we couldn’t live with G Suite!
