Below is a list of great resources we encourage our clients to use with our platforms:
-
Google Apps – We integrate Google Apps into our system as a tool for emailing newsletters. Google apps allow us to bypass many spam filters and are not limited by the number of emails sent per hour.
-
Google Analytics – We encourage clients to use this great tool to see who is coming to their site and what they are looking at. Used properly, it can help shape new content to meet users’ needs.
-
YouTube/ Podbean – Two of many great online streaming services which allow you to store your audio and video files on their servers while embedded simple code to the website to make it look seamless. This allows your site to run faster but offer more. This allows you to promote the camp to the world as well.
-
Facebook / Twitter – Using social media is another means of getting your updates out there.
-
PayPal / Authorize.net – These two merchant accounts have been tested by our clients as the best in accepting payments and keeping your accounting in order. We like their interface along with their additional services.
-
Picresize.com – One of many great online free tools for image manipulation. While our system will resize images, clients can crop and resize an image on their own as well without having to purchase an expensive program.
-
Dreamstime.com – We love the selection of images available at Dreamstime.com and their prices are great (most images cost just $1). Using stock images helps bulk up a site making it much more exciting without having to hire a costly photographer. These can be sprinkled along with images from clients’ events and/or programs along with other unique images you might have to create a more complete look.
