Everything you need to bring your idea to life.
Every engagement starts from something costing you money or time. The technology is decided afterwards, to fit the problem.
- 01
Business websites
Your business looks smaller online than it is, and prospects compare you to competitors with better sites.
A site built around one job, turning visitors into inquiries, with structure, copy, and design aimed at that outcome instead of decoration.
- Custom responsive design
- Conversion-focused structure
- Contact and booking systems
- Search engine optimization
- Deployment and hosting setup
- 02
E-commerce systems
You want to sell online but do not want to hire technical staff to keep a store running.
A complete store you can operate yourself: catalog, checkout, payments, and the admin tools that make day-to-day retail manageable.
- Product catalogs
- Cart and checkout flows
- Payment integration
- Product and order management
- Administrative dashboards
- Customer email notifications
- 03
Software and SaaS platforms
Off-the-shelf tools have stopped fitting how your business actually works, and the workarounds are becoming the process.
A custom platform built around your operation: portals, accounts, permissions, and the data model underneath them.
- SaaS platforms
- Customer and client portals
- Authentication and role management
- Database design
- API development
- Scalable architecture
- 04
Mobile applications
Your product needs to live on a phone, and app store requirements are unfamiliar territory.
An application designed, built, and prepared for release, from a focused utility tool to a startup MVP with a real backend.
- Utility and business applications
- Startup MVPs
- Local and cloud data
- Push notifications
- In-app payments and analytics
- App store preparation
- 05
Internal tools and automation
Your team repeats the same manual work every week: copying data, compiling reports, sending the same follow-ups.
Systems that do the repetitive work automatically, and dashboards that show the state of the business without a spreadsheet archaeology session.
- Workflow automation
- Internal dashboards
- Reporting systems
- Customer management tools
- Data synchronization
- API integrations
- 06
Ongoing optimization and support
Software decays. Sites slow down, dependencies age, and search rankings slip when nobody is watching.
A monthly plan that keeps the system secure, fast, current, and visible, with improvements driven by real usage data.
- Security and uptime monitoring
- Content updates
- Performance improvements
- Analytics and reporting
- SEO improvements
A clear process from idea to launch.
Six stages, each with a defined output. At every point you know what is happening, what Nexren is doing, and what is needed from you.
01
Diagnose
A direct conversation about what you sell, who buys it, what systems exist today, and what a successful outcome actually looks like.
- Nexren
- Asks the right questions, audits your current presence, identifies quick wins
- You
- Business context, current materials, honest goals
- Output
- A clear picture of the problem worth solving
02
Define
The project gets a written shape: pages, features, integrations, timeline, responsibilities, and price, agreed before any design or code begins.
- Nexren
- Writes the scope, proposes the approach, sets milestones
- You
- Feedback on scope, sign-off on direction
- Output
- A written scope with timeline and fixed expectations
03
Design
Visual direction and structure take form: typography, layout, content hierarchy, and how the experience adapts from desktop to phone.
- Nexren
- Designs the system, writes or refines copy, plans responsive behaviour
- You
- Brand assets, content input, one consolidated round of feedback
- Output
- An approved design direction for the real build
04
Build
The product gets built (pages, storefront, app screens, dashboard, integrations) with progress you can click, not status meetings.
- Nexren
- All engineering: frontend, backend, database, integrations
- You
- Answers to occasional questions, remaining content
- Output
- A working product on a preview link
05
Validate
Testing across devices, performance checks, and verification that forms, payments, and analytics actually work under production conditions.
- Nexren
- Cross-device testing, performance and accessibility checks, fixes
- You
- Final review against the agreed scope
- Output
- A verified build, with issues resolved before launch
06
Launch and improve
Deployment to your domain, then the system keeps earning: security, updates, analytics review, SEO, and the next round of improvements.
- Nexren
- Deployment, DNS, monitoring, reporting, iteration
- You
- Domain access, final approval, a monthly plan if wanted
- Output
- A live production system, and the keys to it
Fewer layers. Better software.
Agencies add layers. Template builders look like template builders. A founder-led studio is the third option. Each reason below can be checked.
- 01
Founder-led, first call to launch
The person who scopes your project also designs and builds it. Your brief goes straight to the founder, and so do the replies. There is no account manager in between.
- 02
Design and engineering in the same hands
Nothing is lost in a handoff between a design team and a development team, because there is no handoff. The interface and the system underneath it are decided together.
- 03
Systems, not pages
A website that cannot capture leads, take payments, or feed your operations is decoration. Nexren builds the connected version: presence, conversion, and operations as one system.
- 04
Scope in writing, ownership on delivery
Pages, features, timeline, and price are agreed before design or code begins. Code, content, design, domain, and accounts are yours when the project is delivered.
- 05
Support after launch
Software decays when nobody watches it. Monthly plans cover security, updates, performance, and SEO. They are optional, and nothing about the engagement is built to trap you.
Plans from $149 per month
- 06
Real work, in production
Every project shown here is deployed and in use, including an App Store app built by the founder. You can check the work yourself instead of taking a claim on trust.
The engineering you are paying for, in plain terms.
These decide whether software still works a year after launch. They are part of every build, not sold back to you as extras.
- Performance
- Pages load fast on real phones and slow connections, because slow sites lose buyers before they arrive.
- Reliability
- Systems are tested across devices and monitored after launch, so failures surface before your customers find them.
- Security
- Authentication, access control, and dependency updates are handled as ongoing work, not a one-time checkbox.
- Scalability
- Data models and architecture are designed to keep working as volume grows, instead of needing a rebuild at the first success.
- Accessibility
- Keyboard navigation, contrast, and semantic structure are built in, which widens your audience and reduces legal exposure.
- Maintainability
- Code is written to be handed over and changed later, by Nexren or by whoever you choose next.
- Integrations
- Payment processors, booking systems, email platforms, and spreadsheets connect through APIs rather than manual re-entry.
- Measurement
- Analytics are wired to the actions that matter, so decisions after launch rest on data instead of instinct.

Nexren is a founder-led studio designing and building premium websites, e-commerce systems, software platforms, mobile applications, and business automation for growing businesses.

“When the person responsible for the vision also writes the code, nothing gets lost in translation. You explain your business once, and that understanding shows up in every decision, from page structure to database design.”

The questions business owners actually ask. Anything else, email ashihab@thenexren.com.
How much does a Nexren project cost?
Starter websites run $1,500+, business websites $3,500+, e-commerce $5,000+, and mobile apps from $2,500 for a utility app to $8,000+ for a startup MVP. Custom platforms are quoted per scope. Final pricing depends on scope, complexity, timeline, and integrations. You get a written quote before anything begins.
How long does a website take?
A starter website typically takes one to two weeks; a business website two to four weeks; e-commerce and custom platforms longer depending on scope. You get a realistic timeline in the written scope before the project starts, and a clickable preview link during the build.
Can Nexren redesign an existing website?
Yes. Redesigns start with an audit of what works and what doesn't in the current site. Content, rankings, and functionality worth keeping are preserved. The rest is rebuilt properly.
Does Nexren build e-commerce websites?
Yes, complete stores including catalog, cart, checkout, payment integration, and the admin tools to manage products and orders. Giota's Boutique (giotasboutique.com) is a live example serving a real retailer.
Can Nexren build mobile applications?
Yes, from single-purpose utility apps to business apps with cloud backends and startup MVPs, including app store preparation and submission. Fresh Pantry (freshpantry.app), an App Store app built by Nexren's founder, shows the kind of work involved.
Does Nexren provide ongoing maintenance?
Yes. Monthly plans start at $149 beginning November 1, 2026 and cover security checks, uptime monitoring, routine updates, and performance reporting. Growth and Premium plans add SEO and ongoing improvement services. Maintenance is optional. You're never locked in.
Can Nexren work with an existing system?
Usually, yes. Nexren can integrate with existing tools through APIs (payment processors, booking systems, spreadsheets, email platforms) and extend or connect what you already run rather than replacing it.
Who will I work with during the project?
Almuthanna Shihab, who founded Nexren in September 2024, works with you directly from first call through launch. There's no account manager, no handoff between departments, and no explaining your business twice.
What does the project process look like?
Six stages: Diagnose, Define, Design, Build, Validate, and Launch and improve. Each stage has a defined output, and scope is agreed in writing before design or code begins.
Can Nexren help with automation?
Yes, that's a core service. If your team copies data between systems, compiles reports by hand, or sends the same emails repeatedly, those workflows can usually be automated with dashboards, integrations, or internal tools.
Do I own the finished website or application?
Yes, fully. Code, content, design, domain, and accounts are yours when the project is delivered. If you leave, everything goes with you.
What information is needed to begin?
Just the basics: what your business does, what you want the project to achieve, roughly when you need it, and your budget range if you have one. The project brief on this page takes a few minutes. A perfect brief is not required.
Tell Nexren what you are building.
Three short steps. It goes straight to the founder's inbox, and you get a direct reply, not an autoresponder.
