Applications and Tools
Dubsado
From onboarding to off boarding, we utilize Dubsado for creating proposals, questionnaires, and contracts, scheduling meetings, automating, and so much more. Snag 20% off your first purchase using thoroughfare20 at checkout.
Dreamhost
Although there are several places to purchase website hosting, we recommend Dreamhost. We host our own websites using their Dreampress plan. Not only are they are eco-friendly and budget-friendly, but they offer great support.
WP Engine
For WordPress website creations, we also like WP Engine hosting. They have built-in features that allow your website to load faster so that users don’t bounce (uhm, how long will you wait for a website to load?).
Elementor
Before I dive in, Elementor is not a website theme. It’s actually a website builder that allows us (your designers) to create a fully custom site, but it allows you to have a drag and drop platform on the back-end once we hand the website over.
Thrive Cart
Maybe you don’t need a fully custom e-commerce website, but you want to start selling your new digital product. With Thrive Cart, you can create checkout pages, upsells, and sales funnels, allowing you to easily sell your digital products.
Shopify
For our e-commerce clients who come to us wanting to sell tangible products, we love to recommend Shopify, as it’s really a one stop shop for e-commerce brands. From payment processing to shipping, Shopify can help you manage it all.
FloDesk
An excellent, easy-to-use email marketing service full of plug and play, on-trend newsletter templates. Plus, they have one pricing model no matter how many subscribers you have. Get 50% off of your subscription with the link below.
Teachable
Wanting to create and sell an online course? We highly recommend Teachable. It allows you to upload videos and documents to create your own course with step-by-step modules. Plus, it’s easy for your clients/students to use.
Canva Pro
A super user-friendly graphic design platform that allows you to easily input your own custom branding (colors, fonts, logos, etc.) and create an array of brand collateral: presentations, brochures, social media graphics, and lots more.
