Founder-led digital studio
Strategy, design, and engineering come from the same person. That means the plan, the interface, and the system underneath it are decided together, not handed between a design team and a development team until the original intent is gone.
Currently in production
Selected work
Deployed, in use, and one click away. Open any of them and judge the work directly rather than taking a claim on trust.
E-commerce
Client work
A boutique retailer in North Aurora, Illinois selling online and in store from one system.
Web platform
Nexren product
A file conversion platform that removes the ads, sign-up walls, and upsells from a two-second task.
Mobile application
Nexren product
An iOS app that tells households what food they already own, before it expires.
Services
Every engagement starts from something costing you money or time. The stack is an implementation detail decided afterwards.
Problem
Your business looks smaller online than it is, and prospects compare you to competitors with better sites.
Deliverable
A site built around one job, turning visitors into inquiries, with structure, copy, and design aimed at that outcome instead of decoration.
Scope
Approach
Rigorous without being bureaucratic. At every stage you know what is happening, what Nexren is doing, and what is needed from you.
A direct conversation about what you sell, who buys it, what systems exist today, and what a successful outcome actually looks like.

The project gets a written shape: pages, features, integrations, timeline, responsibilities, and price, agreed before any design or code begins.

Visual direction and structure take form: typography, layout, content hierarchy, and how the experience adapts from desktop to phone.

The product gets built (pages, storefront, app screens, dashboard, integrations) with progress you can click, not status meetings.

Why Nexren
Agencies add layers. Template builders look like template builders. These are the specific reasons the third option works.
The person who plans your project also builds it. Nothing is lost in a handoff between a design team and a development team, because there is no handoff.
Technology choices follow the business problem, never the reverse. You will hear about outcomes and scope, not frameworks, unless you ask.
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.
No page-builder themes. The structure is designed around what your business actually needs to communicate and do.
Pages, features, timeline, responsibilities, and price are defined before design or code begins, so the invoice holds no surprises.
Code, content, design, domain, and accounts are yours on delivery. Maintenance is optional. Nothing about the engagement is built to trap you.
Technical standard
These decide whether software still works a year after launch. They are handled by default, not sold back to you as extras.
Studio
Nexren is led by Almuthanna Shihab. No account managers, and no brief that gets diluted on its way to a developer.
“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.”

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.
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.
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.
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) is a Nexren-built app on the App Store today.
Yes. Monthly plans start at $99 and cover security checks, uptime monitoring, updates, performance work, and SEO improvements. Maintenance is optional. You're never locked in.
Usually, yes. Nexren regularly integrates with existing tools through APIs (payment processors, booking systems, spreadsheets, email platforms) and can extend or connect what you already run rather than replacing it.
Almuthanna Shihab, Nexren's founder. Directly, from first call through launch. There's no account manager, no handoff between departments, and no explaining your business twice.
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.
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.
Yes, fully. Code, content, design, domain, and accounts are yours when the project is delivered. If you leave, everything goes with you.
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.
