Fan since 2006 I've been a fan of their apps, and their books like 'Rework', since about 2006

Great Project Management software for Agencies The most I love about Basecamp is that you can set up custom access settings for clients making it one of the most valuable project management tools for agencies out there. However, It lacks some essential features that other commonly known PM tools have, i.e. statuses for tasks or task lists.

Great user experience Great user experience. Very clean and makes organizing projects very easy. Only wish there were templates for best practices for setting up projects

Fan since version 1 I’ve been using Basecamp since version 1 and I always loved it. Sure, there are some features that I’m missing sometimes. But every time I try out other project management software, I am overloaded by dozens of features I don’t need. So I guess it’s nicer to miss one or two big features than having way too many. The biggest advantage over their competition is the communication with your clients. No other software has this nailed down quite as Basecamp. Comparing Basecamp to its competition, for me, is like comparing Mac OS to Windows. One feels like it’s designed by an actual designer who has the end user in mind, the other feels like you had some engineers hack together every possible feature and later on get a few designers put everything together, without them talking to each other. There is only one thing that bites me every month: the price. Sure it’s worth it, but I know that it was less expensive in the beginning. And that bothers me, because as I said I’ve been using Basecamp since version 1, but at some point I had to create a new account and so I lost the lower price. That makes me sad every month.

I use Basecamp for managing projects I use Basecamp for managing projects, my clients like the fact that we can collaborate without problems with lost emails and file upload restrictions. I like it because i have a reliable way of documenting projects, ensuring that clients have a consistent experience for each project and the fact that i can create a new project from a pre-done template. The webiste has never let me down and I often use the app when on the move. In theory it's not just for web designers either, anyone managing projects could use it.
