Why Criza
What you get that a template cannot give you
Small studios are not automatically better. The difference is who does the work, what is agreed in writing, and whether the thing is still maintainable next year.
Six principles, applied to every project
These are decisions, not marketing lines. If we break one, you are entitled to point at this page.
Direct developer involvement
No account managers, no handover between a sales team and a build team. The founders scope the work and stay on it until it ships.
Business-focused engineering
Features are judged by whether they help the business, not by how interesting they are to build. If something is not worth the budget, we say so.
Modern, supported technology
We use tools with active communities and long support lives, so your product can be maintained by more than one person.
Transparent communication
A fixed price agreed in writing before work starts, a live preview link, short written updates and no surprise invoices.
Scalable architecture
Data models, roles and hosting are designed for the traffic and team you expect in two years, not just the demo you approve today.
Ongoing technical support
Launch is a milestone, not a handoff. Updates, monitoring and small changes continue month to month with no lock-in.
What we put in writing
Every proposal restates these points, so there is no ambiguity later about who owns what.
Written scope
- A written scope before any work starts, including what is not included.
- A fixed price per milestone, agreed in writing, not an open hourly estimate.
- Working software on a preview link from the first week of the build.
- Honest advice when a cheaper or simpler route exists, even if it means less work for us.
- Your repository, domains and cloud accounts in your name from day one.
- An NDA signed before you share anything sensitive, whenever you ask for one.
Agreed in writing before any work starts.
Are we the right fit?
We are usually the right choice when
- The problem is specific and worth solving properly.
- You want one team to design, build and look after it.
- You care about the thing being maintainable, not just launched.
- You prefer a written scope to an open-ended estimate.
We will say no when
- The budget cannot cover the scope, and shrinking it would ship something broken.
- The work needs a team of fifteen people next month.
- A ready-made product already does the job well.
- There is no decision-maker available to unblock the project.
