We’re all about advocating for incredible apps and software to keep operations running smoothly. Today, we’re thrilled to unveil our top picks that are the backbone of our business. Get ready for an insightful breakdown, bullet-point style, as we share our favorite tools that power up our business. The great news is, they work just for about any creative business!

Let’s dive into these game-changers together now, shall we?
Honeybook is our most used app. We use it almost every day! This multifaceted tool is a project streamline maestro. Honeybook handles all of our contracts, invoices, payments, and even throws in a convenient online scheduler for hassle-free appointment setting. Honeybook: where seamless project management meets effortless business flow.

It’s an amazing feeling knowing that we have an app we trust that runs in the background, like sending automatic payment reminders, so we can focus on growing our business.
Enter our next favorite powerhouse: FloDesk. This gem simplifies the art of crafting stunning newsletters and creating seamless checkout links. Trust us, email marketing has never been this visually captivating and so simple to use! FloDesk stands as a tried-and-true ally in our business arsenal. If social media was to disappear tomorrow, we have peace of mind knowing we can still update our audience with any updates. Remember, social media is rented space, not owned. (I.e: Like the TikTok ban of January 2025?) And here’s a sweet deal for you: snag a whopping 50% off your first-year subscription by signing up through our exclusive link. Let’s elevate your email game together, while saving a dime or two!
Okay, where do we even begin with Showit! It’s not just a website builder, it’s our life. Why? Because when it comes to crafting stunning websites, there’s no rival. Showit stands tall as our exclusive go-to for website design, and here’s why: simplicity meets sophistication. Even for the non-designers among us, Showit offers an intuitive drag-and-drop platform that turns the daunting task of website creation into a few effortless clicks.
In addition, the Showit marketplace has so many beautiful website design templates to choose from, primed for use. You simply swap out the text, photos, colors, fonts, and voila! Your unique site is ready to launch. And the best part? There’s no need for coding wizardry! Unless of course you want to incorporate code, but it’s totally not necessary. As a bonus, signing up through our link grants you a month free on Showit. Let’s turn your website dreams into stunning reality together! While you’re here, be sure you check out our latest Showit templates in our shop.
Canva is where creativity can truly flourish. Canva is the go-to app where anyone can create shareable graphics online for free – although we highly recommend the paid version to unlock all of the coolest features! There are a wide variety of things you can use Canva for. Such as social media posts, flyers, business cards, presentations, logos and so much more. Try it for yourself and see how you can incorporate Canva into your daily lives like we have.
I know, I know. Using an artificial intelligence robot to write for you sounds a little woo-woo. Where do you think we got the inspiration for this blog post? 😉 ChatGPT is our go-to AI app that answers any questions we have which provides us with prompts and detailed responses. Think of it like your own personal virtual assistant. It truly does get better with time because as you train it, the app gets to know your thought patterns. The possibilities are truly endless with ChatGPT.
Although this app can never replace the human element and the heart of writing, it does provide us with inspiration and clarity every now and again when we experience artists’ block. Vic used to struggle with using ChatGPT because the writer in him refuses to let a robot do all the writing for him, and writing is where he thrives. This is just one of those things that is hard to pass up once you have access to this incredible technology. Overall, ChatGPT has helped us come up with content faster, and has given us ideas that we otherwise wouldn’t have had. We don’t have a referral code to share for ChatGPT, but we recommend giving it a try if you can!
So there you have it – our top-tier apps that keep our business soaring! Who would’ve thought that managing a business could be this seamless and satisfying? Remember, we’re not just here to share our favorite tools; we’re also your partners in success. Should you ever need a hand or a bit of guidance, don’t hesitate to reach out. We thrive on supporting fellow creatives in transforming their visions into vibrant realities. Let’s keep those dreams thriving together!
