ICRS Systems Tools
Practical tools to help you build and manage the systems behind your creative work.
We don’t need every new platform or business tool that comes along. We need tools that solve real problems and make it easier to manage the work we’re already doing.
These are tools and services we believe can serve a practical purpose in an independent creative business. Explore what fits where you are now, and add what you need as your business grows.
Own & Organize Your Workflow
Name, Claim, & Build Your Digital Home with Hostinger
Register your domain name. Then build a website that lets you control and claim your identity online. Having a website and email address with your domain name helps you claim your creative identity on social media sites and other platforms. It also adds immediate structure and credibility.
It doesn’t have to be expensive to be effective. And, on the flip side, the bigger brand name doesn’t always mean the best service. Hostinger has been a great one-stop shop where you can register your domain, host a website, and get what you need to get started.
Upgrade to a Professional Workflow with Google Workspace
If you’re already comfortable using Gmail, Google Workspace can be an easy transition to a professional business workspace. One relatively inexpensive plan gives you a professional email address using your own domain plus access to useful business tools including Google Drive for storing and organizing files, Google Meet for virtual meetings, Calendar, Docs, Sheets and more.
Important: Don’t upgrade the personal Gmail account you already use into a business account. Instead, open a separate Google Workspace account using an email address that ends in your website’s domain name.
