CannyBill & Campaign Monitor

If you are a designer looking for an invoicing and billing solution, there’s a new contender you might like to check out. CannyBill is a web based invoicing and billing solution which also integrates directly with Campaign Monitor for marketing to your current and potential clients.

This is a great example of the modern trend towards applications which mesh together lots of other services through public APIs. The core of CannyBill is the ability to easily create, send and manage invoices and accept payments online via credit card. Where it gets smarter is its integration with a slew of web applications, including Basecamp and of course Campaign Monitor.

If you have all your clients setup in CannyBill, you can create a message and email them all (as well as your potential leads you’ve been working with) directly from your CannyBill account:

If you have added your API details you can then choose to have that message sent via Campaign Monitor.

You’ll end up with a full campaign report showing exactly the results your email has generated. Your list is kept up to date automatically for you. This is a hassle free way to market to your current and potential customers through the same front end you are invoicing them.

Take the CannyBill tour to find out more. With the recent API updates adding even more power, we expect to see even more cool applications hooking into Campaign Monitor in the coming months.

Doing our bit for the environment

Tree Foundation

We’re keeping green as we stamp out our carbon footprint.

Dedicated web hosters Rackspace have issued us with an Ecertificate from International Tree Foundation (ITF) to confirm trees have been planted at Strouts Field, Chesham Bucks this winter to cancel out the carbon emissions created by the server.

So we’re definitely on track to helping keep the environment clean.

ITF is a UK-based tree charity, which plants, protects and promotes trees in the UK and overseas.

Keeping an eye out for sites that are attractive, simple and easy to navigate, it has selected the top 35 sites that tick all of its boxes.

And one of our Tradingeye powered sites, Ten Little Monkeys www.tenlittlemonkeys.co.uk, designed by Darren Alawi www.darrenalawi.com, has made it onto the bill.

The judges said: “This design has a very strong visual appeal; vibrant colours work well on the dark background, the navigation is colourful yet intuitive – notice how the section for girls and boys are distinguished.

“Also, the choice of typography is appropriate for the shop’s main objective: selling branded children’s fashion and gifts.”

Stripping off for charity

Here at Dpivision.com we’ve dug deep and donated to a worthwhile cause.

London tech geeks – and geekettes – have been stripping off to produce a calendar for charity, and CannyBill has sponsored the month of June www.nudetechcalendar.ning.com.

All of the proceeds will go to Take Heart India www.takeheartindia.org, a youth-run charity focused on IT education projects in India for blind and disabled students.

The charity doesn’t employ anyone, so 100 per cent of proceeds are spent on education projects.

Take Heart is guided by the principle that “work builds, charity destroys”, rather than giving money to people, Take Heart empowers through practical education and skills training.

So for those of you who haven’t already bought yourselves a 2010 calendar, then do your bit for charity and buy one from:
