Jane's exactly right about the benefits of using any site-specific app vs a browser for the same website. The biggest thing in my mind is that app pages are typically tailored to the requirements of a smaller display format and touch input. There's no need to enlarge the view, no fussing with trying to push a miniscule button, no searching for an obscure link. App views have readable displays and condensed menus to focus on most people's needs and wants. Also because they're acting as a purpose-built front end with much of the display code already on the phone, they tend to offer faster response times.

Pro Patricia's recommendation is great. I use graph paper, being sure to include doorway openings & windows and the exact size of the room, and cut out each piece of furniture to scale. Be sure to include end tables, etc. Cut it out of graph paper first then you can trace them onto heavier paper like index cards, or for ease of placement, onto post-its. I worked with manufacturing design engineers. They all had the use of auto-cad and other very complex design engineering software. When we were moving to a different building, most of them (2 bosses had large offices, 20 others had cubicles) used graph paper & templates to decide on their office furniture layout of desks, work tables, file cabinets, bookcases. I got the idea from them and have used graph paper ever since. It's fun.

This is a no brainer go stainless unless you have a kitchen flooded with light black appliances are never a good choice . Really take a picture of your kitchen take a black marker and color in the appliances if you really want to know

You don’t need fancy 20K a year software. You can do everything needed with either Microsoft’s Office with or Google suites. Separate calendars for jobs. Shared drives. Reminders. etc. It’s all in how its set up and maintained, and the committment yo actually use it. The tech itself is irrelevant. It is the user that has to use it that’s the issue. It won’t manage you. You have to manage it. Garbage in, garbage out.
