Software that we as a small web consulting company can not live without:

  • For keeping track of our tasks, we use Pivotal Tracker. The estimation and prioritizing features are what makes it work well for us. And it’s free for now!
  • To make and share documents and spreadsheets, Google Docs does the trick.!
  • For email, good old Google Apps.
  • Tickspot lets us keep track of time spent on each client.
  • Highrise keeps track of people that we know and what’s new with them.
  • Engine Yard keeps our websites and software running. I love how they handle so much of the system administration work that I would otherwise have to do.
  • For remote communication, Adium rocks. It’s a perfect instant messaging client. Well, not quite perfect. It needs to do video.
  • For editing/programming, Jordan uses TextMate, Joe uses vim.
