Web development and marketing services in Portugal, from one person

I offer web development and marketing services from Porto, for businesses in Portugal, the UK and the US. A business needs a site that works and a way for people to actually find it. I do both, so nothing gets lost between "who built it" and "who's supposed to promote it."

What I Do

Web development and marketing services in Porto

Three areas that work best together: building the site, getting it found on Google, and automating the routine work around it.

AI & Automation

AI chatbots, workflow automation, AI-generated reports, and the API integrations that connect them to the tools a business already runs on.

Most agencies split this across three teams who barely talk to each other. I do the build, the growth, and the automation myself, so decisions about your site are never made in isolation.

Why All Three

The site, the traffic, and the busywork behind them

A fast, well-built site with nobody finding it doesn't grow a business, a marketing budget pointed at a slow or broken site doesn't either, and neither one saves the hours lost to typing out the same reply or invoice by hand. I work across all three, so those decisions are made by the same person, not handed off between separate teams that never talk to each other.

FAQ

Questions before you get in touch

How much does a website cost in Portugal?

Costs vary depending on whether it's a WordPress site, a Shopify store, or a fully custom application, and how much content and functionality it needs. Rather than quote a number that wouldn't be accurate for your project, I'd rather look at what you actually need and give you a real figure.

Why don't you list prices on the website?

Because a price list would be wrong for most projects. A five-page WordPress site, a Shopify store with hundreds of products and a custom React application are very different jobs. After a free 20-minute call I send a written quote with the scope and what's included, so you know the full cost before anything starts.

Do I need a new website or just marketing?

It depends on what's actually holding the business back. A slow or outdated site limits what marketing can achieve, but a good site with nobody finding it doesn't grow a business either. I'll tell you honestly which one matters more for your situation.

Can you fix my current website instead of rebuilding it?

Often, yes. If the foundation is sound, fixing performance, security, or specific features usually makes more sense than starting over. A full rebuild is only worth it when the current site is genuinely holding the business back.

How long does a project usually take?

It depends on scope: a WordPress site is usually quicker than a custom web application, and a store with many products takes longer to set up than a simple business site. I'll give you a realistic timeline once I understand what's involved.

Do you work with UK and US clients remotely?

Yes, online. Portugal shares the UK's time zone, so we keep the same working hours, and my afternoons overlap with the US East Coast morning, which gives us a daily window for video calls. In-person meetings are only for businesses in Porto, Vila Nova de Gaia and nearby.

Not sure which one you need first?

Tell me where the business is today, and I'll tell you honestly whether the priority is the site, the marketing, or both.
