Tools & Resources
This page may contain affiliate links where I may make a commission on purchases made through those links. For full details please see disclosure page.
This page has been created specifically to help you answer some of the questions you may have regarding which Tools and Resources I use/would recommend to other bloggers!
There so many decisions and options for you to make when you first start your blog, it’s hard to know which to choose or where someone got something you think would work for you!
I’ve created this page to share my personal recommendations so they are easy to find!
Hosting & Domain
For new bloggers especially I would always recommend HostGator.
They are affordable, reliable and have 24/7 live web chat for if you have questions or any website errors and will get you back up and running in no time! (Happened to me a few times!!)
Website theme
The theme I use on this blog currently (correct on January 2023) is the Ashe Pro theme.
Legal Pages Bundle Templates
It’s SO IMPORTANT to have your blog covered and make sure everything is legal.
You can of course pay a Lawyer but this can end up costing so much money.
Here is where I got all my legal page information – all written by a lawyer but in a bundle for a fraction of the cost.
Email Capture Software
Image Creation/Editing Software
There is also a free version of Canva which is good too!
Keyword Research
Affordable but highly affective keyword research tool!
Brand Colours
There’s an amazing website called Coolors.
It can be useful for brand colour ideas/to get yourself a brand colour palette.
To use:
You open the generator and hit the spacebar to get 5 random colours.
If you don’t like any, press spacebar again!
If you do like one, lock it (padlock symbol) and press spacebar and it will change the 4 unlocked ones.
Amazing way to get ideas of a brand kit in terms of colours!
Keyboard
Anyone who has been around on this blog for a while will know how much I love this keyboard!
If you are looking for a new keyboard and do a lot of gaming or typing – you may want to check it out!
