We need a base to start with while we grow. This is true for every business, and also for a startup web development company. For a startup it’s not easy to purchase paid applications for running operations and it relies upon free or open source web solutions available in market. Lets checkout 3 most important tools one should have and the selection criteria one should follow:
1) Project Management System to manage web development project team:
For managing day to day project related activities, tasks and files for the projects, a web development company needed a robust yet simple project management system that’s easy to use for its employees and clients. There are several free systems available in the market; however they differ in some functionality. So it’s highly needed to review each of these systems to match with your requirements. One such requirement may be, a Client login panel to manage his projects. Client login facility is not available in all available free systems. So a web development company should review all options carefully. List all your requirements in a piece of paper, create a checklist ...
... and then go for search.
You can checkout some of these free applications: Dot project, Projectfork in Joomla etc.
2) Invoicing Application for web development clients:
Now and then every web development company or a freelancer would require an invoicing application. But when we say an open source invoicing application that can be customized and installed on your server, we are again left with only few options. Invoicing applications do store sensitive information about your organization and obviously you may not want to share it with Free hosted applications. Nobody knows what are their security standards and if your information will be secured or not.
So we always recommend going for an application that can be installed on your web server. That will ensure a higher level of security. Your client details and company financials will better be secured for sure. Or, if you have got some extra bucks, go for Freshbooks with no doubt.
3) Time Tracking Application for Web designers and developers
A best web development company totally depends upon its human resources for deliveringweb development services. So it’s highly critical to manage their time and track attendance to ensure better productivity throughout a day. There are several human resource systems available in market but they may be costly, or may be to huge to handle for a startup web development company in India, or in other Asian markets who counts low in USA dollar exchange rates.
For such web services company, there is one free application available, which is Time trex. It can be installed on Windows or Linux based server and is best free application for recording Human resource activities and managing their In-Out time and productive hours. Just go and give it a try.
