Akbay Digital

Raleigh, NC · Websites and operations software

Run your business from your phone, not your inbox.

I build local service businesses a website that brings in requests, and the app behind it. Leads, jobs, crews and customer updates in one place, with your name on it. Built and run for you.

Now taking on a small number of new clients in the Triangle.

  • Requests from your website land on your phone, with everything you need to call back
  • Every lead, job, crew and date in one place
  • Customers follow their job online instead of calling to check in

Sound familiar?

You're great at the work. The office side is what wears you down.

  1. 01

    Requests scattered across texts, voicemails, emails and social messages

  2. 02

    A schedule that lives on a whiteboard, or in your head

  3. 03

    Customers calling to ask where their job stands

  4. 04

    No quick way to see what needs you today

What I build

One system, from the first request to the finished job.

Start with a website, then add the rest when you're ready. Everything carries your name and works on your phone.

How it works

From first call to launch, in six clear steps.

You always know what happens next and what it costs.
  1. Step 1

    Tell me about your business

    Use the short form or call. I reply within one business day.

  2. Step 2

    Discovery call

    About 30 minutes on how you run things today, where requests come from, and what's slowing you down.

  3. Step 3

    Proposal and agreement

    A written scope with a one-time setup fee, a monthly plan and a launch date, all before you commit.

  4. Step 4

    Setup

    I build and configure everything around how your business works. You review it along the way.

  5. Step 5

    Launch

    We go live together. I train you and your team, and I'm on hand for the first weeks.

  6. Step 6

    Monthly care

    Hosting, security, updates and support, plus improvements as your business grows.

Why work with me

Built for your business. Run by an engineer you can call.

I'm Musab Akbay, a software engineer based in Raleigh. I started Akbay Digital to give local service businesses the kind of software big companies have, without the big-company runaround.
  • An engineer, not a reseller

    I've spent 9+ years building production software and cloud phone systems for large companies. You get that same care, sized for a local business.

  • You talk to the person who builds it

    No account managers or ticket queues. You call me, and I fix it.

  • You own your website and your data

    Your domain, your customer list, your job history. If you ever leave, you take it with you.

  • Everything in writing

    A clear scope, setup fee and monthly plan before any work starts. No surprise invoices.

Made for the trades

Questions

Straight answers.

How much does it cost?

Every plan has a one-time setup fee and a monthly fee, based on what you need and the size of your team. After a short call I send you a written quote.

How long does setup take?

It depends on what we build. Your proposal includes a launch date, so you know before you commit.

Do I need to be good with technology?

No. If you can use a smartphone, you can use this. I set everything up, load your information, and train your team.

Do I own my website and data?

Yes. Your domain is registered to you, and your customer and job data can be exported whenever you want it.

What if I want to leave?

You keep your domain and get a full export of your data. I'll help with the handover.

Do you only work in the Triangle?

I'm based in Raleigh and like to meet in person when I can, but I work with service businesses anywhere in the US.

Tell me what's slowing you down.

A few questions about your business, then a short call. You'll get a written plan and quote, with no pressure to sign.
