Rebecca Appleton • 25 January 2019
Starting a new business with the Eazi-Apps business in a box solution is an exciting time. It’s also a busy one with lots of decisions to be made and things to do. Of course, as an app business we love apps so it should come as no surprise that our devices are packed full of them!
As a business owner, they can be invaluable by saving precious time getting stuff done, helping keeps tasks and projects on track and providing useful tools and services on the go. Read on to find out what kind of apps can be invaluable to you as a new business owner…
1. An accounting app
Juggling the finances is one of the hardest yet most important tasks of running a business. It can be confusing and incredibly time consuming, especially if receipts and invoices mount up. There are dozens of recommended apps in this space and lots of really useful ones that can make life that much easier. QuickBooks is a favourite for many small business owners and self-employed with the app saying it can save you around eight hours per week.
2. A To Do app
It’s hard to be organised and productive when you have a mountain of sticky notes to work from. An app with to do list functionality is super useful as it can give you a clear picture of what needs doing, by when. You can use it to better manage your time, handle any sub-contractor or employee tasks and ensure you never miss an important deadline.
There’s a lot to choose from in this space so it’s worth taking a few for a test run to see which best suits your style of working. Popular options include Basecamp, Asana and Trello.
3. A notes app
Inspiration can strike at any time so you want to be able to record it when it does. Not to mention, there are lots of opportunities to make more time in your day by doing work on the fly – whether that’s drafting an article on the train or working on a client proposal while waiting to go into a meeting. A notes app is a super useful thing to have as it means you can note down your thoughts and get work done while away from your desk. Evernote is the clear leader here but there are a few others out there too such as Google Keep and Zoho Office.

Your homepage is your agency’s first handshake. If it’s unclear, cluttered, or generic—you’re losing potential clients in seconds. Here's what your homepage actually needs to convert visitors into leads. 1. A Headline That Tells Them What You Do “Helping local businesses grow with mobile apps and digital tools.” Make it specific, client-focused, and benefit-driven. If it could apply to anyone, it applies to no one. 2. A Strong Subheadline That Builds Trust “Trusted by 1,000+ entrepreneurs across 20 countries.” This is your social proof shortcut. Numbers work. So do logos and testimonials. 3. A Visual That Shows the Result Use mockups, screenshots, or lifestyle photos. Help visitors see what they’ll get—a mobile app, a dashboard, a website, a client smiling. 4. A Short List of Benefits (Not Features) Launch your digital presence fast No tech skills required Support and tools included Keep it tight. Think “what’s in it for me?” from the client’s point of view. 5. A Clear Call to Action (CTA) “Book a free call” “Get your launch pack” “See what’s possible” CTAs should stand out visually and be repeated 2–3 times on the page. 6. A Simple Contact Form or Button Make it easy to get in touch or book. Remove friction. Don’t ask for more than name, email, and one question. Pro tip: You don’t need to design from scratch.
