Technical guidance for founders and small businesses

If you run a business or are starting one, the technical decisions arrive before you have anyone to ask. I'm Rizwanul Haque, and after 13+ years building software I help founders and small teams make those calls: what to build, what to buy, and what to ignore for now.

It's guidance, offered as part of RizTech Academy, not a paid development service.

Where I can help

The calls that are hard to make alone

Choosing the right tech

Website, web app or mobile app, and which stack fits your budget and the people who will maintain it.

Getting online properly

A fast website, a Google Business profile and the SEO basics that bring local customers in.

Build or buy

When an off-the-shelf tool is enough, and when custom software is worth what it costs.

Scoping a first version

Cutting an idea down to the smallest thing worth building first, so you learn before you spend.

Checking quotes

A second opinion on an agency or freelancer proposal: what is missing, what is padded, what to ask.

Your first developer

What to look for when hiring, how to review their work, and what good handover looks like.

How it works

Simple and direct

No packages and no sales calls. I take on a few businesses at a time, so I can give each one proper attention.

  1. 1

    Send a short note on what you are building and where you are stuck.

  2. 2

    We talk it through on a call or over WhatsApp.

  3. 3

    You leave with a clear next step, and you can come back as things move.

Looking for mentoring as a student or fresher? That runs through the internship programme.

Stuck on a technical decision?

Tell me what you are building. If I can help, I will say how; if I can't, I will point you to someone who can.
