My Favorite Tools & Resources for Freelancing

In this video, I share 20 essential tools and resources that I use as a freelance web designer. I broke my entire toolkit down into two parts: freelancer tools and web design tools. At the end I include a list of resources and websites I use to find fonts and stock photos. This video is not sponsored these are legit the tools I use every day.
I'll be sharing...
⁕ how I do contracts using Adobe Acrobat's Fill & Sign tool
⁕ the free tool I use for invoices & payments
⁕ how I collaborate with clients using Loom
⁕ my project portal and file hub that I share with the client
⁕ all the design tools I use to build websites

did I miss any good ones? have you used any of these tools I mentioned? have you found anything better? let me know !

[@yasgonzalez1602]

It is actually SOOO validating knowing we use the same recourses for designing! imposter syndrome is hitting hard after graduating and this is so helpful to know I am doing things okay loll

[@jenwebbcreates]

I feel you on the imposter syndrome, it's a never ending struggle lol. I didn't go to school for design so it's actually validating to hear I'm using the same design tools as a new graduate haha

[@yasgonzalez1602]

Thank you for this!

[@user-jb9np7lw5i]

nice

[@varulv.s]

This is really useful Jen! Been freelancing on and off for about 5, years but just getting started into web design and programming so this will definitely be helpful. Thank you so much for sharing it!

[@jenwebbcreates]

awesome I'm glad it was helpful! I'm curious what were you freelancing in before? do you have any tools you prefer to use for the freelancing side of things? I'm always curious to hear other people's process

[@bhagyalakshmi-gv2hg]

Im new to freelancing..and this is so useful..thanks for this!

[@jenwebbcreates]

you're welcome, I'm glad it was useful 😊 it's something I wish I had when I first got started

[@arnabux]

Can you please share the contract template..

[@jenwebbcreates]

unfortunately I can't because it was part of a class I bought, so it's not mine to share 😩 but I can share the course if you're interested: ilovecreatives.com/squarespace-design-course

[@Earth_wind_dan_fire]

is Canva that frowned upon in the design world?

[@jenwebbcreates]

I don't frown upon it! I use it on occasion but I prefer to use Figma and Illustrator for brainstorming and coming up with concepts. but I will sometimes make some branded templates in Canva for my client to use, if needed.
