Evernote for business
Do you have reminder notes in 10 different places, web clips for research somewhere else and that great idea that you had last Friday … what was that again? Evernote is here to save the day. Their tagline of “Remember everything” really is a possibility. Features Evernote stores individual pieces of information as notes. Notes can be sorted into notebooks (think folders), which in turn can be grouped into notebook stacks. Individual notes can be tagged. This means, no matter what your organising preference, the note you’re looking is easy to find. Notes are fully searchable, even scanned documents and photographs. Each account is allocated an Evernote email address, where you can email notes – a great way to tame your inbox or get notes into the software on the rare occasion you can’t access it directly. Evernote can also record audio notes, although I’m yet to try that feature. Notes and notebooks can also be shared, making collaboration easier. Your Evernote notes are accessible almost anywhere. There are desktop versions (Mac and Windows), mobile apps and a web app, all staying in sync so your data is up to date all the time. There is a large community of developers making apps that integrate beautifully with Evernote to increase its functionality, such as Skitch (which I created the screenshop above with), JotNot for scanning with your smartphone and LiveScribe. A comprehensive list of hardware and apps is available on The Trunk. Evernote uses the freemium model. All the Evernote software and apps are free to download. Up to 60Mb of data per month can be uploaded using the... read more
Working in the cloud
Cloud computing has been with us in one form or another for a long time. Google’s mail and calendar were possibly the what many first used and considered as cloud services. Now the cloud is the new buzz term for business. So what does it mean for you? Should you take the plunge? There are a huge variety of services now available in the cloud. As I mentioned, Gmail has been with us for quite some time now. Services such as Dropbox allow you to store files in the cloud and share or access them from virtually anywhere. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), where software is accessed via the cloud, is an alternative popular with many small businesses. Group collaboration tools, accounting software, customer relationship management and content management software are all examples of SaaS. The advantages of SaaS to the small business are: that usually access is charged on a per user basis (sometimes free for single-user or low transaction accounts); the software isn’t actually installed on your computer reducing technical expertise requirements security (including backup and redundancy) are handled by the provider and the software is generally customisable; quite often SaaS applications are updated much more regularly than “boxed” software. Like all technology, cloud computing has advantages and disadvantages. It’s important to consider the benefits a service offers before leaping in a moving everything over to the cloud. Firstly ask whether moving to the cloud will improve your business processes or solve an issue? The security risks must also be considered. Although most cloud services would provide better security and backup systems than many businesses currently have, you still need... read more

We create happy customers
Leanne provided me with in depth feedback on one of the websites I look after. Solid advice, detailed report and proposal. It took me two seconds to decide that Leanne was the professional I needed to do this task
Steve Gray
In a nutshell – Leanne makes life easier! So many professionals offer over engineered systems with more functionality than adds value, but Leanne took time to understand from the user perspective, and she got it just right.
Jenny PerksWhat can I say??? You have done an outstanding job for us and I know it has not been an easy one. I knew you were the right person for the job. You certainly do think out side the square.
Phillip Royce
WOW…Leanne thanks for all your hard work (and your patience!!) Great promotion of our new website and a fantastic review of our company’s profile. We are so happy and grateful for your vision and professionalism
