I don't necessarily NEED invoicing, but would like to have something. I use expression engine for most of my full featured sites. Integration into that would be nice. Thanks for the input so far. P.S. I know a lot of you have been in the business for a while and I have greatly enjoyed being a part of WPO over the past 2 years. Any advice or direction you can push me in regarding getting my design business running smoothly? Surprisingly, I've received a lot of interest and some good work so far, but I really need better standards, operations planning to help me become more efficient. It's different when your working for yourself. :D Thanks again for the great input. -Ryan -----Original Message----- From: webproducers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:webproducers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dinos Papoulias Sent: Tuesday, June 02, 2009 9:36 PM To: webproducers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [webproducers] Re: beta site client edit tool I use a web based tool called DeskAway for this (I use it for my task/prj management too) - there's an Issues section for every project. A also setup an open-source tracking tool called HESK for people (more so end-users of a website) as well. You can see it in action here: http://www.hellenext.org/helpdesk/. 95% of the time when I get a verbal request or something by email I'll add it into DeskAway myself with appropriate notes. Florian - I concur about JumpChart...very useful. I've have to check out LightHouseApp and ProtoShare too. Ryan - haven't found a solid one yet but I may be missing them. Right now I use a combination of DeskAway for managing the actual todo's and project management and a website called Cashboard for time tracking invoicing. Cashboard is nice because I can setup budgets for clients that have me on retainer for website maintenance. What non-open source ones are here? There's a plugin for Joomla that does this, and I know you can build it in Drupal - but I don't know of anything "ready to go" that also includes invoicing. I know they're there though. Anyone else? -Dinos On Mon, Jun 1, 2009 at 12:24 PM, <morry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi all- > > I was having a discussion recently about the tools different people use > when working with a clients to collect site issues > (errors, typos, bad links etc.) for smaller sites that don't require fancy > bug tracking. > > Do you use a spreadsheet template or a web-based tool, or take them by > e-mail or on a phone call?
