Web Wednesdays – each Wednesday we will feature a website that we’ve come across while in our process of searching for inspiration, the latest trends, or learning about anything and everything we can get our hands on that interests us.
Invitations have been around forever, but evites are the current trend in party planning. Evite.com is a website that helps you with all your party planning needs; from inviting your guests and keeping track of your guest list, networking you to different party supply sites to a blog that features the latest in party-throwing trends. Upon receiving an evite, you can publicly RSVP on the event page, adding a comment if you’d like. You can also get directions to the event, or add the event to your Google Calendar. After the event, you can send thank you notes to your attendees, or upload pictures to a party album.
Evite.com has hundreds of invitation layouts to choose from, or lets you design your own – even letting you add a personal image to the e-vitation. If you feel the need to have gathering, but can’t think of an occasion – no worries, they have dozens of ideas for you, from game nights to wine tastings to fight nights.
In a culture that is rapidly converting to e-communication, Evite.com is leading the way, invitation-ally speaking.

This Web Wednesday it’s all about the functionality and efficiency. Have you ever felt like there weren’t enough sticky notes to right your to-do list? (it’s a rhetorical question, so you don’t have to answer it!)
Forget those sticky notes and long lists and get activeCollab.
activeCollab is an amazing project management and collaboration tool. Whether your company has 3 employees and 10 customers or you own a Fortune 500 company with many many clients. activeCollab is right for you.
activeCollab is a project management and collaboration tool that you can set up on your own server or local network. Work with your team, clients and contractors in an easy to use environment, while keeping full control over your data.
There are a lot of similar products out on the market. Most of them offer exactly the same features. activeCollab does too, but it also gives you 2 options that some other solutions don’t:
Option 1:
You can rent/lease the program as a hosted solution for a small monthly fee.
Option 2:
You can purchase the program and deploy it on your own website for one-time affordable payment.
Here at DIF Design we’ve been using activeCollab for a while now, and it has been very helpful in organizational, management and communication aspects of everyday business.
Some of our customers have access to the program to be able to update project status, upload files and collaborate with us on their project.

The perfect website for those that like to shop but don’t have a lot of time to browse through a slew of merchandise. It sounds like “Hoot” – Woot.com.
Woot sales only one item per day. Yes, you read it right, one item every 24 hours. Tomorrow it might be a red coffee maker. But there is a limited quantity, so purchase fast or it will be sold out. If the item is not too hot, don’t worry because at midnight it will be switched out for a new one. Better luck tomorrow.
Similar websites such as KidSteals.com or BabySteals.com feature pricier items at steep discounts.

This Wednesday’s pick is Khan Academy. When I stumbled up on this site, I was absolutely amazed by the mission and the drive of this organization. The website features over 1800 educational videos to help other educate themselves.
The Khan Academy is all about using video to explain the world, so what better way to explain the Khan Academy than through videos. If you watch two or three of the videos below, you should have a pretty good idea of how they got started with the hope to empower everyone, everywhere with a free, world-class education.

We all have heard the phrase “Think outside the box”. Today, I will advise you to do otherwise – think inside the Box. This Web Wednesday’s website is Box.net.
Box.net was founded on a simple, powerful idea: people should be able to access and share their content from anywhere. Since 2005, Box.net has helped more than 3 million individuals, small businesses and Fortune 1000 companies do just that. They want to reinvent what businesses can do with their content through Box’s cloud content management platform, made for a new kind of worker, a new kind of workplace and a new kind of IT.
Box.net offers amazing solutions for both small business and enterprise clients. Here are just a few features that you get right out of the Box (yes, I did do it on purpose!):
- Sharing and managing content
- Project collaboration and workflow
- Content search and discovery
- Sync desktop files to Box
- Mobile access
- Extensibility and third-party apps
