Resources For Your Next Project
Below are links to some helpful resources that may come in handy when planning
your next website and graphic design project:
Website Hosting
We highly recommend, and personally use SiteGround for website hosting. They are very cost-effective, have good support and also offer free security (SSL) certificates. They are great for both WordPress or HTML website hosting.
Stock images
If you need stock images or graphics, Adobe Stock is a great choice. We have an account and can purchase images for you if you don’t want to purchase a membership.
iStock is also a great choice for one-time purchases but can be more expensive. Pixabay also has free stock images if you are able to find what you are looking for.
Icons
Icons are a great way to add a visual element to your design project. Look for free and paid icons at Icon Finder.
Video & Slideshows
Get your message across with video! We love the simple interface, templates, and royalty free music selection built right into Animoto. It’s one of our favorites for making videos and slideshows.
Social Graphics
If you want to make your own social media graphics, check out Canva. It’s free, easy to use and helps you create beautiful graphics in the correct sizes for all the social platforms.
Mailing List & Email Marketing
MailerLite is a great and simple to use email marketing platform. They have great automation options.
MailChimp is great, especially for e-Commerce website to manage mailing lists and email marketing campaigns. They have free basic accounts.
Sending & Sharing Files
We love Dropbox and use it every day. It’s a great way to send, share and organize files with a team.
Printing
JukeBox is our favourite Canadian print company, who can print just about anything! Watch for great business card specials.
Documents & Collaboration
Nothing beats Google Docs for document sharing and collaboration. It’s free with a Gmail account and you can create/share word documents and spreadsheets easily.
Privacy Policies
Privacy Policies are important to include on website projects. Easily generate your privacy policy free for personal use, or for $30 for commercial use here.
Zoom
Zoom is a great way to hold meetings, screen share and collaborate on projects. You can get a free account that allows meetings of up to 40 minutes.
