Independent studio / Design & engineering

Websites and apps that look expensive.

01 | Capabilities

Four things. Done properly.

01

Business websites

Mobile-first, loads under two seconds, built so you rank on Google instead of your competitor.

02

Ordering & booking

Customers order, you get a notification. No WhatsApp threads, no message lost at 11pm.

03

Dashboards

The spreadsheet your team argues about, rebuilt as one screen everyone trusts.

04

Speed fixes

A slow site costs you sales quietly, every day. Two days of work, measured before and after.

04 | About

A studio, not
a marketplace.

Crodex is a design and engineering studio in Karachi, Pakistan, run by Zain Ansari.

Every project is built by the person who quoted it. No account manager, no offshore handoff, no subcontracted work. You get the code at the end, and the price you agreed at the start.

The studio takes a handful of builds a month. That is the only reason there is a waiting list, not a marketing one.

05 | Pricing

Get a price
in 30 seconds.

The number you see is the number I quote. One payment, no retainer. If the scope changes, the new number gets agreed in writing first.

What do you need?
How many pages?

More pages means more design and more content to wire up.

06 | Questions

The ones people
actually ask.

How much does a website cost?

A one page landing site starts at $450. A business website of two to five pages starts at $1,150. An online store starts at $1,400 and a custom dashboard at $1,600. The price builder on this page shows the exact number in about thirty seconds.

How long does it take to build a website?

Two weeks for most websites. Online stores and custom dashboards run three to four weeks. Rush delivery is available and halves the timeline.

What do you need from me to start?

Your content, your logo if you have one, and thirty minutes for a scope call. If you do not have content, I write it as part of the build.

Do I own the code and the domain?

Yes. The repository, hosting, domain and database are transferred to your own accounts at handover. Nothing stays locked to me, and you do not need my permission to change the code later.

Is the price fixed or hourly?

Fixed, against the written scope. It does not rise mid-build. If you ask for something outside the scope, it is quoted separately before it starts, and nothing moves until you approve it in writing.

What happens after the 30 days of fixes?

Two options. Pay per change at a flat quoted price, or take the care plan at $60 a month. It covers hosting checks, weekly backups, two hours of small edits and priority on anything broken. Cancel with 30 days notice, no lock-in.

Do you work with clients outside Pakistan?

Yes. Most work is remote and most clients are outside Pakistan. A demo link goes out every Friday, and time zones have not been a problem yet.

How does payment work?

50% to start the build, 50% at handover. Bank transfer or Wise, in US dollars. There is no retainer unless you choose the care plan.
