Google Docs is the best collaborative tool for creating and editing documents currently available. It’s quite magical to be editing a document, and to see your teammate also editing the document in real time. You each can either edit directly, make comments, or make suggestions. The documents auto-save and you can track the history of changes.

Slack
Slack is the ultimate team communication tool. You can chat with your teammates; video chat; screenshare; share images; search efficiently, and much much more.
Slack has made a virtue of “playing well with others” and integrates with other apps and services.
What is it
Slack is a collaborative cloud-based team communications software/app.
It replaces emails for teams; much more efficient and effective than email.
Why
- Instant
- Far more efficient
- Tracking stuff in email is difficult especially when there is no subject line or someone has added an unrelated comment in an email thread.
Slack means
- Everything is in channels or direct message for private conversations
- So an organization may have a web development team, a design team, or sales team and each team has their own channels
- You can text, phone call, video chat and screen share all in one app
- Also, upload images, and share files
It replaces email as your primary method of communication within organisations
Within Slack, you can text, phone, video chat, screenshare, swap files, share images – and find anything very quickly and easily.
It’s available on all devices
It’s all organised into channels (or projects) and private direct messages – so you can talk to your whole team or just to a single person privately.
Plus slack integrates with a host of other apps/software so you can manage your entire workflow through one platform.
The most efficient team communication app

Seamus Campbell helped me with my new site over the last few weeks, mostly on the IT side of things.
I am very satisfied with the service that he provided me with.
He is easy to work with, conveys technical information clearly (and understandable to lay-persons) and gives backup service with videos, which I found very useful.
His work for me was very good value for money and I would work with him again on any new project.
Thanx Seamus!
