10 Useful Google Docs Templates for Web & Mobile App Designers


By

If I am honest, I don’t know how popular Google Docs is within the freelance community, but I have found that I have been using it a lot more recently. To the extent that I seem to have more documents stored online that on my hard drive and its one of the first places I go to when starting work in the morning.

I don’t use it solely for drafts of posts and articles, but I also use it to manage my spreadsheets, create invoices, I even use it store code snippets, blog post templates and everything else in-between.

Whereas Open Office and Microsoft Office are fantastic and powerful productivity suite options for any business, I find they are a little bit too much for what I need. I like simplicity and speed; perhaps that is why I rely on Google Docs as much. With recent advances to its spreadsheets feature, its improved document editing, and formatting, it useful collaboration features and with the recent addition of Drawings (a collaborative drawing app), perhaps Google Docs would be better suited to your needs as well.

In this article, you will find a selection of Google Docs templates, freely available from the Google Docs Directory, aimed at designers and developers. You will find some cool templates for wireframing and mockups, general spreadsheets templates, basic invoice and estimate templates, business planning documents, design brief docs and even an infographic toolbox. I hope you find them useful.
