Our tools make us smarter.
At Countable, we recognize it's a balance between having the best tool for a given user, and arriving at consistency between users. Luckily, there's g2Crowd, which lets us identify the best product in each category pretty objectively. This has been a reliable source of great quality software. The farthest right (best reviewed) tools in their matrices have consistently provided great value for us.
We love to use amazing web apps we admire, as we think it will help inspire our own work to be better too.
Our policy is for you to please try one of these tools if it applies to the work you're trying to do. If it doesn't do what you want, then please test an alternative and document why you need that. It should be approved. If more team members need it, it will be listed here.
- Cross Browser Testing - Currently have browserstack but switching to LambdaTest. Faster, better designed, and cheaper.
- Wireframes - Currently have tried a few tools, but switching to LucidChart currently. Has an incredible number of good templates. Easy to get into.
- Digital Signatures - EverSign. Best system I've tried at a quarter the price of DocuSign, HelloSign.
- Phone Menu System - talkroute
- SEO - Ahrefs.com - we don't use this, probably will not renew.
- Task tracking - Trello
- Document storage - Google Drive
- Source Code Maangement - Bitbucket
- Mock-ups - Adobe XD
This we may want to find software for.
