4 Must-Have Software Solutions to Streamline Your Business

Running a business is hard work, and we're always looking for ways to make it easier.

Over the years, we've tried dozens of different software solutions, and these 4 have become our absolute must-haves. They've helped us streamline our operations, elevate our brand, and free up time so we can focus on what we do best – building beautiful websites!

Whether you're just starting out or looking to level up, these tools are a game-changer.

1. Squarespace: Simplify Your Online Presence

Building a compelling online presence is no longer a daunting task. Squarespace offers an intuitive, no-code-required website builder that gives you full control (& peace of mind!).

With its user-friendly interface, you can create a professional-looking website that ensures your business gets found online.

We’ve tried Wix, WordPress (Elementor, who?), GoDaddy, Weebly, you name it, and Squarespace is the top contender - and after launching 400+ websites we’d had our fair share of experience.

Plus, did you know they recently purchased Google Domains?

2. Calendly: Streamline Your Scheduling

Say goodbye to the back-and-forth of booking appointments. Calendly is the ultimate tool for effortless scheduling. It integrates with your calendar to provide a seamless experience for you and your clients, making appointment booking a breeze.

They offer a free plan if you have a single event (for example, when needing to schedule a 20-minute free consultation) and offer upgrades to sync with Stripe so you can get paid BEFORE getting booked.

Now, if you’re a single mom like me you know - this is pure magic.

3. Square: Seamless Payment Solutions

In a world where every second counts, Squareup.com offers a swift and reliable payment system for both online and offline transactions.

Whether it's processing customer payments or managing your online sales, Square keeps it hassle-free and efficient.

Now for those of you who already have an awesome payment processing you love - it is ALWAYS a good idea to have a backup.

4. Canva: Unleash Your Creativity

From crafting designer-approved business cards to eye-catching signs, Canva is your go-to platform for all things design – and it's free!

Canva’s user-friendly interface allows you to create professional-grade designs without any prior experience.

You can edit on-the-go from your phone or tablet.

Lean into efficiency and Creativity

These tools are more than just software; they can streamline your operations, enhance your marketing efforts, and offer a better experience to your clients.
