Craftsmith Studio is an independent digital studio for businesses that care how things are made, not only how they look on launch day.
Founded by Hamza Javed, with his brother Talha Javed leading engineering and Akash Bhatti leading SEO.
Why “Craftsmith”
A smith is a maker who works a material until it holds its shape for years. That’s how we think about software. A store, a website or an app is a tool your business leans on every day, so it should be built with the same care as anything made by hand: measured twice, finished properly, and easy to repair.
We work across Shopify, WordPress, custom web development, mobile apps and SEO because real businesses don’t live on one platform. Having design, engineering and search in the same team means decisions are made once, with the whole picture in view.
How we work
- Honest scoping. We’ll tell you when a smaller project would do, or when something isn’t worth building.
- Fixed quotes. You know the price and the timeline before we start.
- Visible progress. A private preview you can click through, updated as we build.
- Quality you can measure. Speed, accessibility and cross-device checks before every launch.
- No lock-in. Your accounts, your code and clear documentation for whoever works on it next.
Our own products
Alongside client work we design and build our own Shopify themes, starting with Arcella. Building products we support ourselves keeps our standards high: every shortcut we take, we’d have to answer for in a support request.
The people
Small team, senior hands.
You work directly with the people who design, build and rank your project. No account managers, no hand-offs to juniors.
