Here is a helpful page that I put together of all my favorite and most used products/services. I use these on a regular basis and thought they may be of value to you. This is a good page to bookmark as I will be updating it often with more tools I find that are helpful.

Showit
This is the hosting service I use here at Studio Mommy. My favorite part of Showit is the ability to design my site however I want and there is no coding involved. Showit uses a drag and drop feature and the customizations are endless.
*ConvertKit
I love ConvertKit’s automation & sequences. It’s way easier to use than most subscription services I’ve tried. Their automation lets you VISUALLY see how your newsletters will be sent. You can set up a series of newsletters for your subscribers to receive.
*Canva Pro
Create professional & beautiful designs using Canva Pro. Include a brand kit with your specific fonts and colors to keep all your designs consistent. You will also have unlimited access to their premium photos, videos, graphics, audio tracks and more.
*The Contract Shop
Get contracts, terms & conditions, privacy policies and other legal templates for your website or business. I’m using one of their templates on my privacy policy page. Take a look!
