Contactually is a personal relationship assistant for your business that automatically pulls all of your contacts into one place, keeps your relationships organized, and helps you follow up with the right contact at the right time. So basically you have buckets (groups in their terms) and you assign at follow up time to each bucket. You bucket/organize your contacts in the buckets. So if you have 5 close friends you want to be reminded to contact each week you can put all 5 of them to the "Close friends" bucket and contactually will ping you to contact them. It plugs in with your email and facebook and the reports are great but the free version is time limited and later is quite limited. Anyways its really worth a try.

If there are multiple developers (be it one developer and one front end developer) you should consider using git. It is a developer's best friend and even helps you go back to history and see how your code/website looked like may be 2 months back (provided you do regular commits).
