Websites & Digital Presence

(Your foundation — get this right first)

Squarespace

This is the platform I love, use, and recommend most often, truly for almost everything. There’s nothing better than managing your website, emails, forms, scheduling, and payments all in one place.

Why I love it:

• Strong all-in-one integrations

• Clean + neat design and long-term stability

• Easy for teams to manage without technical overwhelm

For most missions, Squarespace can handle nearly everything in one place, which keeps things simple and sustainable. And something that I consider important: it has great aesthetics! If you want to attract and make people stay or follow you, it has to look good!

Shopify

I recommend Shopify specifically for physical product selling.

So it’s best for:

• Product-first businesses

• Large inventories, shipping, and fulfillment

If selling products is not your primary activity, then go for Squarespace.

Video Editing & Storytelling

(Tools I actually use, not just recommend)

iMovie

Honestly? Still my number one video editor.

Simple, clear, and very easy to use if you have a Mac.
Best for horizontal video, but also works well for mobile formats.

CapCut

A powerful yet very accessible video editing tool.

Great for:

• Reels and short-form storytelling

• Educational content

• Outreach and mission-driven narratives

Very popular (used by creators, big brands, and organizations alike) and excellent if you don’t have a dedicated video editor.

Organization, Clarity & Collaboration

(Choose simple or structured — both are good)

Google Drive

If I’m being honest, I never get tired of Google Drive.

Perfect for:

• Shared documents and folders

• Comments and feedback

• Controlled access (view, comment, edit)

Often the best choice for teams that want something simple, familiar, and effective.

Notion

A great option if you enjoy structure and customization.

Useful for:

• Documentation

• Planning

• Content systems

• Team clarity

Powerful, but not necessary for everyone — Google Drive is more than enough for many teams.

Otter.ai

This tool makes notes for you — and it’s incredibly helpful.

Great for:

• Meetings and interviews

• Sermons and talks

• Planning and documentation

It supports accessibility and accuracy with very little effort.

Communication & Automation

(Use with discernment — don’t overwhelm people)

ManyChat

Useful if you rely heavily on messaging (especially Instagram DMs).

Helpful for:

• Event registrations

• Follow-ups

• Simple communication flows

Best used to support people, not replace them.
Especially helpful for larger organizations or accounts with big followings, it truly makes things easier and saves you so much time.

Squarespace Email Campaigns

I love Squarespace for email campaigns when your website already lives there.

Why:

• User-friendly

• Clean, beautiful designs

• Simple and effective

It’s not for heavy customization, but for clarity and consistency, it’s a great choice.

Design & Creative Assets

(For when you need to create quickly and well)

Canva

Always my go-to for:

• Quick flyers

• Social posts

• Communication pieces

I use this widely for my partners and for myself.
For more refined or professional illustration work, Adobe Illustrator is still my personal go-to — but Canva is unbeatable for speed and accessibility.

Envato

Great for downloading:

• Fonts

• Stock photography & video (I use it a lot for this, their archive is huge and quite different from what you see out there, which can be very repeated)

• Templates and design assets

Useful for websites, presentations, social media, and print.
A practical resource for both small and large teams creating in-house.
