How I stopped losing time to bookmarks and tabs
Most browsers open a new window or tab to clutter you never asked for. Here's the simple start page I built so every link I use is one tap away on every device, and how I set clients up with their own in about five minutes.
By default, most browsers open to a page full of "news" nobody asked for, or a bunch of links that have nothing to do with your day. Mine opens to every link I actually use, already sitting there. Email, invoicing, my hosting dashboard, the client sites I'm working on, the tools I check every morning. One tap and I'm in. No typing the address, no digging through bookmarks, no "where did I save that."
I built it because I got tired of hunting. I'd open a new tab, start typing, click the wrong autocomplete, and end up on the wrong site. Ten seconds here, ten seconds there, all day long. It adds up and it's annoying.
So I made the AyeZee HomeScreen do the work. It's a clean start page with all my links laid out as tiles. It syncs across my devices, so the same links are on my laptop, my desktop, and even my phone and iPad. I set it up once and stopped thinking about it.
Here's the part I didn't expect. I showed it to a few business owners and they wanted it for themselves. One client kept every tab open across the top of his browser and searched through them one at a time. I set him up in about 5 minutes. Now he signs in with Google, lands on a page branded to his business, has all his links in one spot, and got a good chunk of his daily time back. Another client saw it and right away wanted it for all 7 of their employees. That's when I knew it was something people would actually use.
To make that easy, I can set someone up before they even log in. I create their profile, add their branding and a few starter links, and when they sign in it's ready to go. They can change the look and links from there.
I also put together a quick guide for adding it to your browser, so you always have a place to come back to when you want it on another device. You can read that here: https://ayezeewebdesigns.com/resources/new-tab/
If you spend your day jumping between the same handful of sites, this saves you a real chunk of time and a lot of little headaches. Point-of-sale, your booking system, your email, your bank, whatever you actually use. All in one place, one tap away, on every device.
That's the kind of thing I do. I take the small tech stuff that slows you down and make it disappear so you can get to your actual work.
Want me to set one up for you? Takes a few minutes and I'll get it dialed in with your links.
