Barefoot Domains - Affordable and reliable website hosting and domains, and so much more!

Business Sites:

I am obsessed with Zoho! I’ve been using their Zoho Invoices for over a year and am so impressed by the functionality – and their customer service is bar none. I would run to this amazingly affordable invoicing software – or any of their other services – as soon as possible! UPDATE: Zoho Payments is now available and works directly within the Zoho Invoices or Zoho Books platforms.  I highly recommend them as the payment fees are less – and the convenience is amazing.  It works best for online invoicing.  The fee for online processing (including keeping a card on file) is 2.79% + .30 for domestic cards, 2.90% + .30 for Amex cards; Intl cards are at 3.79% + .30 + a currency conversion fee.  (Compared to Square’s Online fee of 2.9% + .30, or manually entered/card on file fee of 3.5% + .15.) So it makes sense for my credit card customers who are invoiced to be processed through Zoho Payments other than Square.

If you’re working remotely, you need Splashtop! It’s secure, fast, and reliable remote access so you can work from anywhere. Like me when I’m in my treehouse office! The best business tool in my arsenal!

I use Square.com for my in-person and shopping cart credit card processing, and I love its ability to manage a ‘cash drawer’ like the big boy point of sale systems. For MUCH less cost!  Sign up today at Square.com

For Calendaring that can sync across platforms, I love Artful Agenda. It’s the closest I’ve found to a paper calendaring system. There are web, Android, and Apple apps, and you can sync all your calendars. I have it on the old iPad on my fridge to act as a family portal. (It’s nice to not have to ask what you’re doing and when all the time!) Please use my referral code! RK524352

I’m using Zoho’s SalesIQ for live visitor monitoring on all my websites. There is a free version that allows me to initiate chats and track visitors. I do like it, and it’s easy to use – even as an app downloaded to your tablet or phone.

Applewood Communications: I LOVE this company! My rates are outstanding and customer service rocks! How would you like 4.9 cents per minute for a state-to-state long-distance rate? Or, 7.4 cents per minute to Canada! No 10-10 numbers to dial, no monthly fees, and no minimum usage required. PLUS – get a FREE TOLL-FREE Number! (This number is automatically forwarded to your regular number!) Sign up today by calling 888-350-2363 – BUT, be sure to mention my account number (035900) to get my rates!
