Our favourite blogging tools:

Here's a list of our favourite blogging resources and tools that our team uses on a daily basis:

Blog platform

The Department of Wandering has been built on Wordpress.org. It's also the blogging platform of choice for the vast majority of bloggers who value its customizability, security and functionality.

Web hosting

The Department of Wandering is hosted on BlueHost. It's very affordable with packages starting at $3.95 per month and is also Wordpress.org's #1 recommended web host for bloggers. 

Blog design/themes

We recommend purchasing a high-quality and professional design theme for your blog from a marketplace such as ThemeForest or Creative Market. Then, customise it to make it uniquely yours.

Organisational tools

Trello is a great productivity tool that helps us to keep on top of things, organise our ideas and keep our editorial schedule on track.

We use Dropbox Plus to share files and images within our team and with our clients. ​We also use it to store backups of The Department of Wandering.

Email marketing

We use the Sumo plugin to create our email opt-in pop-up and sidebar widget.

We currently run our email marketing through MadMimi​ which is incredibly simple to use and reasonably priced.

Graphic design tools

We use Canva for all of our graphic design needs. It's completely free too.
