Adobe CC is the lifeline of my business and I consider it a bargain at $50/month for what you get. Photoshop, Lightroom, inDesign, Illustrator Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition….

Freshbooks is the easiest way to invoice and manage your expenses and track your time. Make getting paid easy, use Freshbooks. It’s going to cost you $25/month which is tough at first, but it’s so worth it to not have to stress about sending invoices. I’m a fan.

SiteGround. I switched from BlueHost to SiteGround to improve loading speed. So far I’m happy and great customer service.

GoDaddy. I own a lot of domains. I buy them all from GoDaddy.
Tip: Get the free Chrome extension Honey to check for discounts at checkout (it works).

WP Engine. If you have the budget, WP Engine is considered the best premium hosting solution for WordPress

Elegant Themes is the best. One price for unlimited themes with no limit to the number of websites you make. This site is made with Extra Theme, but MikeMurphy.co is on Divi 3.0, which is the flagship theme. Extra is more magazine style, which I wanted for Podcaster Toolkit.

Shopify is a very easy way to create an e-commerce website or store. The templates are really nice right out of the box and adding products and customizing the site is really easy. Pricing starts at $29/month and there is a ton of add-ons that may get expensive, but if you make money, isn’t it worth the investment? If you need a dedicated store, consider Shopify.
