→Founder & Lead Developer
I started Appaza to build digital products the way they should be built — by a small, senior team with no layers to translate through. I’ve spent years shipping Shopify apps, WordPress builds and custom web platforms for founders, and one lesson stuck: clarity beats complexity, every time. Every project I take on gets real engineering attention from day one. Let’s build something that actually works.

Most of what founders ask us in the first call, answered. Still curious? Drop us a line.
End-to-end product work: UX research, wireframes, prototyping, usability testing, polished UI, design systems, brand identity and full custom development. We’re a one-team replacement for the typical agency-of-vendors mess.
We start with people, not pixels. Interviews, competitor analysis and usability tests inform every decision. We iterate weekly with real user feedback, so the result feels obvious in hindsight.
SaaS, fintech, healthcare, eCommerce and AI tooling. We pick projects where good design materially changes the business outcome.
Designers and engineers pair from day one. Components are designed against the constraints of the framework you’ll actually ship in. No “designs that can’t be built.”
Most projects ship in 8–12 weeks. Larger SaaS builds run 16+. We share a detailed Gantt before signing — no fuzzy timelines.
Yes. Monthly retainers cover analytics, A/B testing, UX refinements and feature work. One predictable price, one team, no scope theatre.
