Flipbox Toolbox

We're opening our toolbox to show you goods that we use make our magic. We've put a great deal of thought and research into the tools we use and there's no reason to keep it to ourselves. Since we consider ourselves savvy Internet users, most of the applications you find below are web based. If you're like us, we think driving down the road and Jotting a spontaneous note for a client only to find it associated to that client when you get back to the office is pretty darn cool. We hope you enjoy our toolbox!

• Administration

  • 

    In an effort to keep client communications as simple as possible, Heap is a no-brainer. Heap also plays nice with Google Apps and Torch. A slick iPhone app allows you to access your accounts when you're on the road.

  • 

    Torch allows us to organize or projects, collaborate with clients, and invoice within one web-based application. It works hand in hand with Heap so we're never entering redundant data.

  • 

    RTM is a life saver for those mundane tasks that are easy to forget. It works great on the iPhone and with Gmail so it's always at your fingertips.

• Web & Email Hosting

  • 

    Web hosting is very important to us, and Mosso hit the spot with great performance and an awesome administration panel which makes user management and billing a breeze.

  • 

    Common complaints with most VPS companies are their services are oversold and underperforming. Not the case with Slicehost. This family-like company does it right with great hosting and excellent support.

  • 

    Corporate email is no joke. Mailtrust provides excellent email hosting for any sized businesses at an affordable price.

  • 

    We all know Google, with such a large hand in the web you can't overlook their awesome hosting solutions. Whether you're looking for powerful email or share docs Google Apps does it without a hefty price tag.

• Project Development

  • 

    Where would we be without Adobe? Creative Suite lets us create our marvelous designs that make you drool.

  • 

    One of the most flexible CMS applications on the market. Based of the Code Igniter framework, EE is all business and lets you easily create dynamic pages that validate.

  • 

    Textpattern is an open source CMS that's like Expression Engine's little brother. It's flexible enough to fulfill most project requirements that don't require full-blown CMS offerings.

• Just For Fun

    Tweet Tweet. Social networks have gotten pretty popular, but we wouldn't be doing this for SEO purposes would we?
