Most importantly, it allows us to stay organized and instantly see the most recent version of your website content. Google Docs allows for real-time collaboration, a history of changes, track changes, auto saving, work from anywhere, offline work mode, exporting, file storage and more. The reason is simple: just like the printing press was better than writing on scrolls, online collaboration tools are better than individual Microsoft Word files for web and content projects. We now require the use of Google Docs on all our projects. However, at PaperStreet we have moved past Microsoft Word documents for our website projects. Its toolset for composing text and tracking changes were the gold standard (sorry Word Perfect). When I started, Microsoft Word was the de facto document for composing text. I have been designing websites for over 20 years now. We have seen websites go from the sanskrit scrolls in 400 BC, to the printing press in the 1440s, to hot metal typesetting in the 1880s, to HTML in the 1990s. During that time we have seen amazing advances in typography and communication. PaperStreet has been designing websites since 2001 and our senior staff since 1998.
