I've compiled a list of websites and resources that are helpful to small businesses. I hope you are able to use or learn something from this list :) If you are or know of a company or website that is helpful to small businesses, please contact me.
Inspiration
COLOURlovers - This is an awesome place to start when you are looking for the perfect color palette! I reference this site almost daily.
Palette Man - Neat color palette creator
Color Scheme Chooser - This colour schemer tool helps you choose colour schemes for monochromatic, analogic, complimentary, split complementary, triadic, and double contrast.
Photo Editing
Picnik - VERY easy to use.. and it's FREE!
Adobe Photoshop - I LOVE photoshop! I'd be lost without it. It does have a steep learning curve. But once you learn the basics, it gets much easier.
Adobe Photoshop Elements - A lighter version of Photoshop and MUCH cheaper (under $100.00). Great to get you started!
Corel Paint Shop Pro - Comparable to Photoshop Elements. I have no experience with this product but I've heard it's great :)
Website Content and Marketing
Creative Writing Studios - Lisa is just awesome to work with! She offers all kinds of services that will help you with your business. I HIGHLY recommend her.
Email List Management Tool - 60 Day Free Trial
Business Groups
Girl Indie - focuses on women owned businesses. Provides lots of opportunities for low cost and free advertising, celebrity gift baskets, a forum to chat with other women in business (mainly WAHM's) .. best of all it's FREE!
