We use a variety of apps and tools in our Virtual Assistant tasks.
These are some of our favourite tools and apps that we use and recommend for helping your life and business run more smoothly.
Canva
The tool to make all your social media images and graphics, for brochures, invitations, flyers and more. The free version of Canva is great but the pro version offers extra features and immediate resizing for different platforms which is really handy. You’ll have access to many more fonts, graphics, elements, photos, and features too so it’s well worth the investment.
