Help is on hand (and offsite)

This week we are looking forward to becoming customers of Second Site, a new business that promises to make our business administration a lot easier.

We are still too small to hire a full time secretary, which means that currently, all those administrative tasks are still my responsibility. However from this week we will be welcoming Belinda onto our team.  she will be taking up key tasks in front of house, customer support and communications, as well as office management. I think it will end up making a huge difference in our business.

By hiring offsite clerical staff many of the small tasks that take up my time, or just don't get done, will be managed better, giving me more time to do the things that I do best.  We only pay for the help we need, not a fixed wage. It will certainly help us to continue to grow.  We will be using a lot of clever online tools like Basecamp, Backpack and wikispaces to help us manage our communications and processes.

These are all fantastic tools that offer very powerful tools for very low prices.  When I showed them to Jan she was very excited and has spent the weekend exploring them to find out how they can help her team at SecondSite manage things better too.

SecondSite is our client as well. we have designed and implemented their website. Once they get their final content in place we will launch it and I will link to it from here.

Many thanks to Jan for all her help.  She has a great business and I would recommend it (and her) to anyone.

Jan also owns the cleaning site connect2clean, whose website we have also built.
