From side project to beta

Emtay (working name) is a side project that I started late 2017 with the intention of offering small businesses what they need; a simple solution that comprises out of a website, some CRM, booking module, easy newsletters and some automations to let these elements interact with each other. The same kind of solutions I built earlier as custom work while working for agencies. The philosophy of the platform is to deliver cost effective value to help small businesses compete in their digital service level with bigger players

As of december 2020 the platform was ready to be softly launched in beta. During all of 2021 the platform will be in beta while experiences from the first clients will greatly enhance its usability.

After 2021 the name will most likely change. For more on the platform visit the website
