The Beginning: Just Me, Wix, and a Will to Learn
I started out designing websites on Wix — simple drag-and-drop stuff. I didn’t know how to code, but I had a passion for making things look clean and professional.
Eventually, I realized I needed more control. That’s when I started learning HTML and CSS — one step at a time. No bootcamps, just pure Google, YouTube, and late nights.
Teaming Up with a Friend
I teamed up with my friend Abdullah Qasim, and we both started offering services through our own freelancing profiles.
We had hope — and skills — but no clients.
We weren’t getting any orders directly, so we found a workaround…
Working with Freelance Broker (And Getting Burned)
We started connecting with freelance broker — people who had freelance profiles and incoming work, but didn’t know how to code.
They’d give us the project, we’d do the hard work, and they’d get paid.
But here’s the catch:
After delivering the full project, they’d tell us:
“Client canceled… they didn’t like it.”
And we wouldn’t get paid.
We got scammed. Repeatedly.
Our work — stolen.
Our trust — broken.
Our confidence — shaken.But it didn’t break us.
Turning Point: Starting Copros Studios
Instead of giving up, we united.
We decided:
“No more working under others. Let’s build something that’s ours.”
That’s how Copros Studios was born.
We didn’t just want to freelance anymore. We wanted to build a proper team, a real company, and work directly with clients — no middlemen, no drama.
Building the Right Team
We brought on a business developer to handle client connections and outreach. Then we built a small, focused team of:
-
Designers
-
Developers
-
SEO experts
Each person handpicked — each role with purpose.
Now, we work on projects as a studio, not as solo freelancers struggling for recognition.
💡 Lessons From the Journey
-
Learning never stops — start with what you have
-
Getting scammed teaches you more than success
-
Real freedom is in building your own platform
-
The right people make all the difference
-
Trust is rare — build systems, not handshakes
Where We Are Today
Today, Copros Studios is more than just a team — it’s a mission.
A mission to:
-
Deliver clean, functional, and fast digital products
-
Give opportunities to honest developers like we once were
-
And help clients grow their businesses through tech
Final Thoughts
My journey from a Wix beginner to the founder of a full-fledged development agency wasn’t smooth — but it was real.
If you're stuck, scammed, or just getting started — keep going. What feels like failure now could be the fuel for something way bigger than you imagine.
