WORKetc seems to have gone big changes lately. Most of above points are now settled. Would definitely give it another shot. Thanks Dan, for wonderful piece of software.

Hi Paul – please contact me over at http://www.WORKetc.com and ask for me on support. We have most of what you want in place.

Anjay – WORKetc has an export function that allows you to download all your data as CSV files, as well invoicing into Quicken.

WORKetc looks good. Using multiple websites everyday is hassle, and a well designed onestop shop is increasingly alluring

Worketc does not seem to have option for user backup / export to some database.

I am with Angela on this one. If the tool sub set that would allow clients to login is added I am there. I will drop everything else I use and go with this. I would just like my clients to see the on going progress, leave messages, upload files and see their invoices. To have this in one place would be bliss! I would love to know a time frame on when this could be implemented.

Hi Angela – if you wouldn’t mind, can you post your question over at http://www.WORKetc.com

As I outlined above, we are still working on tool sub set that would allow clients to log in and view their projects. The issue we have come up against is that every WORKetc customers wants to only allow their clients to see certain aspects of a project and then their employees/contractors another part. Hence it is tricky putting together a system that allows WORKetc customers to turn on and off project subsets at a customer level and have that different for every customer.

I work with one primary subcontractor (and occasional other specialist subcontractors) as well as clients in my business.

I’ve been searching for an online project management solution that would allow collaboration and interaction with clients on their particular projects. I want clients to be able to log on and see an easy-to-interpret status on their projects. They should also be able to add additional tasks and ask questions while logged in.

The interface must be simple, streamlined and powerful.

I like this software and would consider it over several web-based “single” or “dual” services I’m currently using and the project management web-based solution I’m currently seeking.

The monthly fee is within range for my freelance business — if it meets my needs.

The questions I have are:

Can it work in the manner I need with subcontractors (to whom I should be able to assign tasks with calendar and email reminders)?

Can I subscribe via GCal to the milestones and events based on the person responsible for the task?

Does the timesheet offer an online “timer” or punchclock option? (I currently use Cashboard for timer and invoicing and love it.) Without this, I’d have to double enter from a freestanding timer and that’s a waste of time.

If it will do these things, I’ll sign up immediately!

Finding a good, all around web-based office solution for web workers that collaborate with others would be a wonderful thing for my business model.

@Daniel – you’re missing something here. I had a trial account in your old system. I didn’t like it, and i found out it didn’t meet my personal needs so I chose not to work with it. Yet, I did pop over once in a while to see what’s new and how things improved for me. Do you consider it as an abandoned account?
But anyway abandoned accounts are no issue, you can run clean-up job \that will close all accounts not touched in a month – that’s easy.

IMO for around $40 a month, without a real trial period I won’t consider to try it. Sorry folks.

Great point about the abandoned accounts, I can see where needing to enter the card info would make someone do their research prior to registering, and then getting things right into process.

Am really looking forward to seeing where you take WORKetc, I think it’s extremely well done.
