About Crige

Built for local businesses, by someone who gets it

Crige was built in Wales — a place full of brilliant independent businesses that deserved better than being invisible online. We set out to fix that.

Our mission is simple: make every UK local business discoverable, without the complexity or cost of building a website from scratch. A free storefront, a QR code for your window, and a loyalty card for your regulars. That is Crige.

Our mission

Make every independent shop in the UK discoverable online — for free.

What we stand for

Local First

Every feature we build starts with the question: does this help a local business? We are building for the independent shop owner, not the national chain.

Simple by Design

A business owner should not need a developer or a marketing agency to get online. If something takes more than 10 minutes to set up, we have failed.

Fair Pricing

The free tier is not a gimme — it is a real product. We believe every local business deserves a digital presence, regardless of budget.
