Clean WP Admin Theme
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-clean-admin-theme/
This plugin is created to make your WP Admin dashboard look much cleaner. It gives you the ability to change colors and styling options. I used this to match a corporate client's official style guide colors to match their branding and logo. It looked great.

Better Notifications for WordPress
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bnfw/
The Lowdown
Better Notifications for WordPress is a simple but powerful plugin for beginners to advanced users that allows you to customize the email notifications that WordPress sends using the WYSIWYG editor and shortcodes. All of the default WordPress email notifications are available to customize as well as lots of new ones. You can choose to send notifications to individual users, multiple users, all users in a user role, multiple roles – you name it! You can also power-up your notifications with Premium Add-ons. Emails are sent out via your WordPress website (using wp_mail) but can be sent via SMTP using an appropriate 3rd party plugin should you wish.

POST AMP
https://wordpress.org/plugins/postamp/
This plugin renders mobile optimized content for posts in AMP format, which load almost instantly. The nice thing is that this is just for posts. Your static pages can still be in full, non-amp view if you want.

Question from Mindy in Round Rock, Texas.
Hi Guys,
I am looking for the best way to export all my users on my site into Excel. the only thing I found so far only exports xml, which I have no idea how to open. Can you help?
Answer:
Export Users to CSV https://wordpress.org/plugins/export-users-to-csv/ is a really great plugin that has never let me down. I've used it on enormous membership sites with members over 10,000 people. This one should do the job for you and give you all the details you would ever need about your users.

Shop as Client for WooCommerce
https://wordpress.org/plugins/shop-as-client/
Allows a WooCommerce store Administrator or Shop Manager to use the frontend and assign a new order to a registered or new customer, taking advantage of all the frontend functionalities that might not exist on the backend, which can be very useful for phone or email orders.
The order will automatically be assigned to a registered customer if the billing email matches. If no registered user is found, the shop manager can decide to either create a new user or leave the order as if it was inserted by a guest.
Two new fields are added to the billing checkout section, for logged-in administrators and shop managers.
