On the Road

Over the next few weeks I will be in and out of the office for a couple family vacations and some on location client projects. My good friend and collaborator Jamie Orillion did a blog post a few months back about running your business from your phone. I thought it could be helpful to do a [...]

Social Media & Christianity

There is tons of buzz in the web business right now about social media. I have clients calling me about new websites asking about social media every week. They all want to have a “social media presence” on the internet. Most of them have no idea why, they just want to be on Twitter and [...]

We are now offering with all new projects free 30 day access to our extensive video training series (see screenshot below). The video library is kept updated automatically when versions or [...]

On the Road

by Daniel | Posted in On the Road, Video | Comments 3

Over the next few weeks I will be in and out of the office for a couple family vacations and some on location client projects. My good friend and collaborator Jamie Orillion did a blog post a few months back about running your business from your phone. I thought it could be helpful to do a post with some details about how I do work on the road.

You can also check out a video below about what I generally carrying my laptop bag when I am out of the office.

iPhone/iPad Apps

To be completely honest, between my iPhone and my iPad my laptop has almost become a waste to bring on the road. I can do just about everything I need to do from my iPad or iPhone. I can do billing, estimates, edit HTML files, markup and comment on PDFs, and of course the standard smartphone stuff like email, calendar, and contacts. It is amazing now with 3G internet access just about everywhere, I am never to far from internet access, so much of what I need to be “in the office” for is irrelevant now. Below are a list of a few iOS apps that have been lifesavers and are key to me working on the road.

iPhone Apps

  • Are My Sites Up (http://aremysitesup.com/)
  • Things (http://culturedcode.com/things/iphone/)

  • WordPress App (http://iphone.wordpress.org/)
  • Google Voice (web app) (m.google.com/voice)
