About
About Samama Tahir, Freelance Web Developer in Porto
I'm a freelance web developer and digital growth specialist based in Porto, Portugal, working full-stack. I build websites and digital systems, then help the businesses behind them get found online and turn that traffic into customers.

Why I Do Both
Why I work across both sides
Most developers stop once a website is live. Most marketers never touch the code. I've spent 8+ years doing both, and in practice they're rarely separate problems: a slow, poorly structured site undermines the SEO work, and good SEO with no clear path to conversion just brings visitors who leave. Building the site and growing its visibility properly needs the same person thinking about both at once.
Experience
8+ years across the full stack
I've built and maintained WordPress websites, Shopify stores, React applications, and fully custom web apps, along with the e-commerce, REST API, and third-party integration work that goes with them. Alongside that, I work on local SEO, Google Business Profile, Google Ads, Meta Ads, and the analytics setup that shows what's actually working.

How I Work
How I like to work with clients
Plain language
No jargon. Everything is explained simply, so you always know what's happening and why.
Honest advice
If something isn't worth doing, I'll tell you honestly rather than sell it to you anyway.
Results over looks
The measure of the work is whether it helps the business get more enquiries and sales.
Based in Porto
Porto, Vila Nova de Gaia, and clients further afield
I'm based in Porto and know the local business landscape here and across the river in Vila Nova de Gaia well, so I can meet clients here and nearby in person when it helps. I work online with clients in the rest of Portugal, the UK and the US, using the same process either way.
