Homepage- and webdesign

If you need to design your own website, you don’t need to have lots of programming experince, thanks to a lot of really nice webites, who let you design websites from the ground up, with all the beels and whistles. Using one of these sites, you can be your own webmaster, and create high-level and fully functional ecommerce sites. Check out the sites below, and get inspired to start designing!

  • Mockingbird is an online tool that makes it easy for you to create, link together, preview, and share mockups of your website or application. Communicate with and present to your clients using clear mockups. Brainstorm using Mockingbird, then use your mockups going into the building stage. This tool is free.
  • Wix deserves honorable mention here. This site is in a league of its own, if you like flash, but have always thought it was too hard to do. With Wix, you can eliminate the learning curve, and have a really flashy looking site up and running in no time. Seriously, it is a cool site, and you need to check it out! They have a free version, and also plans prices at USD 5, 10 and 15 per month. Their ecommerce version will cost you USD 15/20 per month.

Online invoicing systems

There are lots of really good invoicing sites out there.
Depending on your needs, you will actually be able to use some of them for free. If, for example, you send less than 20 invoices a month, Saasu might be a really good option. For more than 20 invoices, they start charging, though. Some offer completely free plans, but without the ability to customise the invoices with logo etc. Others charge a few bucks a month, and you might choose one of those, if look-and-feel of the invoice is important to you.
Have a look on the sites listed underneath, and decide for yourself which plan fits your needs the best as your business hopefully evolves over time.

  • Billing Orchard will cost you USD 10, 15, 20, 35 or 70 per month. No free plan, and frankly, not impressive looking.
  • Bill My Clients don’t charge a monthly fee, but a fee per invoice. It is however, completely free, if you only send invoices by email.
