Online Task Tool Might Be Helpful For Web Designers

As a web designer, I sometimes have a rough time with a few clients on getting the project done. Whether it is a lost email or playing cat and mouse on instant messenger, it can be frustrating. Since I have been looking for tools, giveaways and more to feature here at Blondish.net, I came across Nandinih (Twitter User -@nandinih) who sent me to Deskaway. Deskaway is an online task management software site. It allows a group of people who are collaborating on any project to track progress and communicate. This is especially a great tool for web designers and their clients as they can store files and get projects done more efficiently. For those that are freelancers, this might ease the pain of having to sift through spam or check the junk email or worry if you might have lost email.
It is also secure with SSL so your work will not be stolen easily. 
Deskaway offers several different types of accounts. For those who cannot afford to pay anything, it is free to sign up and there is a free account that allows you to conduct at least 3 projects with a max of 5 users. The free account gives a 15 day project history. The only downfall is that the free account does not come with the SSL Security, and no email reminders to keep you on task.

That looks like it will be an interesting tool. I will have to check it out sometime. Maybe see if a friend of mine whose site I run wants to give it a whirl to test it out for me. Thank you for the information.

Wow thanks for the tip.
Karyn’s last blog post..Unwritten.
It looks like a really good user friendly system. I have little use for it though, as I only have my own website.
Also check out Intervals, another web-based project management tool that integrates time tracking and task management. It was built and is used by Pelago, a web design agency with 9+ years of web experience.

Thanks for the tip! Have you ever considered using Google Apps standard edition though? It's completely free and integrates a lot of features every webdesigner needs. You can even sketch some wireframes within a Google Docs Presentation sheet.
