Don't just take our word for it. Here's what Jenna, a satisfied JENA user, had to say:

"It gives a real sort of professional edge. If I'm with a new client, they don't know me, and this gives them a sort of trust at the outset. I've always been really keen on a personal touch. It was the lack of personal touch that put me off jumping on to a booking site. But JENA allows me to customize everything and maintain that personal connection with my clients."
