#23 - Tools we use - websites, productivity, content creation

In this episode, we're sharing our tried-and-tested toolkit that keeps our digital agency running smoothly. We've been refining these tools over 10+ years! Content Creation & Writing Google Docs - Angela's go-to for pretty much everything writing-related. AI Transcription Tools - We've used Otter AI, Temi, and Happy Scribe to turn client calls into content gold. Claude AI - Our favourite for development help and content brainstorming. Website Building & Design WordPress - Still our CMS of choice. Bricks Builder - Our current visual builder. Great balance of flexibility for us and simplicity for clients. Figma - Where all our designs start. Productivity & Project Management Todoist - Our task management lifesaver. Twist - We ditched Slack for this gem. Zoom - Still our reliable choice for client calls, especially with that handy Google Calendar integration. SEO & Analytics Mangools - Our budget-friendly SEO toolkit. Google Analytics & Search Console - We use them, but let's be honest, GA4 is a bit of a pain compared to the old Universal Analytics! Technical Tools WP Umbrella - Keeps all our WordPress sites monitored, updated, and secure. GridPane - Our WordPress hosting management panel that makes server management actually enjoyable. Gmail + MXroute - Our clever email setup that gives us Google's interface without being locked into their ecosystem. Client Collaboration UserBack - Absolute lifesaver for getting website feedback. Fluent CRM - Our WordPress-based email marketing solution. ScreenPal - Perfect for quick how-to videos and client walkthroughs. Design & Graphics Canva - Essential for quick graphics when you're not a full-time designer.
