# From a visual email to a send-ready export

A Beefree alternative search usually means the canvas is not the hard part. Agencies need the work around the canvas: brand rules, reusable structure, client approval, and a last check before HTML leaves the building. Memo is that studio. The existing platform still sends.

## When Memo fits

- You want the email itself to be the source of truth, with Brand Kits applied as you design.
- Reusable blocks should carry structure from one campaign to the next for the same client.
- Preflight should run on the compiled HTML, not only on what looks fine on a canvas.
- Export is the handoff. Sending, lists, and journeys stay in the platform you already use.

## When to stay with Beefree

- A visual builder inside or beside your ESP is enough, and you do not need review links.
- You are producing one-off emails without a multi-client brand system.

## How it works

1. **Design the email, not a mock** - Compose on an email-safe canvas so the file you review is the file you export.
2. **Keep brand rules in the kit** - Colors, type, logos, and footer patterns live in the Brand Kit for that client.
3. **Preflight the compiled HTML** - Memo Check looks for broken links, missing alt, footer gaps, and structural issues.
4. **Export to the existing platform** - Download or copy production HTML and plain text. Your sender remains the sender.

## FAQ

### Is Memo a Beefree alternative?

Memo is a studio for agencies that need brand kits, review, and preflight around the design, then export. If you only need a visual canvas, a builder may still be enough.

### Does Memo certify how the email looks in every inbox?

No. Memo Check is structural preflight. Inbox rendering labs stay the place you certify clients if you use one.

### Can more than one client live in Memo?

Yes. The organization is the agency studio. Create a workspace per client brand.

### What leaves Memo at export?

Production-ready HTML and plain text, with merge-tag profiles for the platform that will send.
