About

Built by engineers who got tired of agencies.

MetaCrafts started from a simple frustration: too many agencies sell big ideas and ship late, over budget, or both. We do the opposite — a founder-led studio plugged into a vetted network of senior specialists.

The founder

Mohamed Rafat

Founder & lead engineer

Full-stack engineer with a bias toward shipping. Spent years building production web products before starting MetaCrafts to do it faster, leaner, and without the agency bloat. Every project ships through my hands — and when a build needs more firepower, I bring in senior engineers from a vetted network I have shipped with for years.

OUR STORY

Why this studio exists.

After years of building production web products for startups and agencies, the pattern was clear. Six-month timelines that dragged to twelve. Scope documents that nobody read. Design handoffs that produced broken layouts. Clients who paid agency rates and got junior output.

MetaCrafts was founded to fix that. A founder-led studio with a vetted network of senior engineers and specialists, assembled around each project. Clear scope. Fixed price. Ship fast. The things that should be table stakes but somehow are not.

Every project runs through the founder's hands — no handoffs to juniors, no account managers relaying messages. When a build needs more firepower, we draw from a small, trusted network of senior engineers we have shipped with before. You get a direct line, direct accountability, and senior output — with the depth of a team behind it.

What we believe

Our values

Craft

Every line of code is reviewed, every pixel intentional. We build things that last because rebuilding is expensive.

Speed

Fixed scope, fixed price, aggressive timelines. We ship to staging every week because momentum matters.

Transparency

Written scope before we start. Weekly progress you can see. No surprise invoices, no vague status updates.

Partnership

We work with a small number of clients at a time so each one gets real attention. Your project is not a line item.

Vetted senior engineers & specialists
A small, trusted network of senior engineers, designers, and ads specialists — people we have shipped alongside for years. Assembled around each project as scope demands, so every client gets founder direction with the depth of a full team behind it. No juniors learning on your budget, no handoffs to strangers.
