The person behind the work
Hi, I'm Arif. I build websites small businesses are proud of.
I started Techzo in 2015 with a simple belief: small businesses deserve the same quality of web design that big brands get — without the agency markup, the account managers, or the runaround.
For over a decade, I’ve worked directly with business owners — from a one-person coaching practice in Texas to a multi-location healthcare group in Chicago — helping them build an online presence that actually reflects how good their business is.
What makes Techzo different isn’t a proprietary process or a fancy pitch deck. It’s that when you hire us, you get me. I personally review every design, oversee every build, and make sure every site we launch meets the standard I’d hold my own business to.
I’m a Top Rated designer on Upwork with hundreds of completed projects, recognized by Clutch as one of the best web developers in Illinois, and trusted by clients who come back again and again — some for their third and fourth project.
I work six days a week. I respond to messages the same day. And I care about your business the way I care about mine — because to me, this has never just been about building websites. It’s about helping good people build something they’re proud of.
