ActiveCollab vs. Basecamp

You have probably heard of the online application called Basecamp, a tool used to organize your project, clients and team members. While it is a great tool, it cost money to use. This is why I chose to work with ActiveCollab.ActiveCollab is a FREE tool that practically mimics Basecamp. So, for all you money strapped web designers out there, this will be your new best friend.

Reasons why ActiveCollab is great:

Easily track and manage projects and clients
Keeps all files and conversations in one central place
Don’t have to send a million emails to the client
Fully customizable with CSS
New features are always being added

Go checkout ActiveCollab and see what you think. Once you get used to using it you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it. If you end up creating your own theme, let me know. I’d love to check it out.
