Website Hosting & Domain Registration
I recommend three options for hosting and domain registration. Siteground and ICDsoft are my go-to’s. And for people hosting more than one site, I recommend Cloudways.
Email Marketing
Depending on my clients needs I have two recommendations. The first is Mailerlite. You can have up to 1000 subscribers and send up to 12,000 emails a month for FREE. Emails are easy to set up with a drag-and-drop editor, photo editing, and they are mobile friendly. One of the biggest benefits is that Mailerlite allows you to set up multi-email automations even on their free plan. The second option and the better choice for smaller nonprofits is Mailchimp. Their free plan offers you up to 2000 subscribers and there is still a lot that you can do on Mailchimp,
Graphic Design & Social Images
Canva is where I do all my graphic design. It makes creating website or social graphics so easy — and fun. Canva is free and the Pro Plan (which I use) costs $12.95/month. The Pro plan is free to qualified nonprofits.
Online Scheduling
Calendly is my go to for this. Super easy to use and the free version is sufficient for most people with 1 calendar.
Acuity is also a great option. Scheduling appointments with Acuity is easy for your clients and completely passive on your part once you have your account setup. There is a 7 day free trial with no credit card required. Then it’s $15/month.
