Web design in Portugal
Web design in Portugal, in plain English.
Strategy, copy, design and development from one person in Faro. Clear pricing from €1,200 and everything in your name from day one.
What does working with an English-speaking web designer in Portugal look like?
It looks like this: the whole project runs in English, from the first briefing to the handover training. Research, strategy, copywriting, design and development come from one person who lives and works in Portugal. You get a site that loads fast, ranks on Google, and that your team can manage without calling a developer.
Before writing code I spent 17 years in business roles, six of them at Booking.com managing 200+ hotel partners across Portugal and Spain. If you're building or growing a business here, that context matters: I know how the Portuguese market searches and buys, and I build for both audiences, Portuguese and international, as standard.
My fastest project so far started as a book. A wildlife photographer arrived with a published title and left with her own online store: 14.9 hours of development, briefing to checkout.
Bilingual builds come standard. Sanity CMS handles Portuguese and English natively, in one editor, and your team manages both independently after training. Additional languages are straightforward when the project calls for them.
At the end of the project every account is in your name: domain, hosting, CMS, code. No subscription required for the site to exist. If you ever move on, you take everything with you.

Case study
Tessa Schack
A book became a website. A photographer got her own sales channel.

A strategy-led landing page starts at €1,200. A full marketing or business website runs between €2,400 and €6,000 depending on scope. Portals, e-commerce and multilingual platforms start at €6,000. Every project is quoted in writing, with what's included spelled out.
I publish prices because that's how I like to buy. The first conversation is free, and I don't send quotes before understanding your project.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, it's a significant part of my practice. The whole project runs in English, I understand the local context, and I work in the Western European timezone. Clients include a wildlife photographer based internationally and businesses operating across Portugal.
Yes, and for most businesses in Portugal I recommend it. Multilingual support is standard in how I build: both languages in one editor, managed independently by your team after the handover training.
A professional site with CMS and SEO configured (up to 5 pages) takes 3 to 4 weeks. A marketing site with more pages, integrations and content strategy takes 5 to 7 weeks. The clock starts when the briefing is confirmed, not at the first conversation.
Yes, that's the point. Handover includes training on Sanity CMS, and everything (text, images, new pages, both languages) is editable without a developer. If you want ongoing help afterwards, that exists too, but as a choice, never a dependency.
That's where the business background earns its keep. Beyond the website itself: how Portuguese customers search, what they expect from a local business online, and what your sector looks like in this market. The website becomes the output of that thinking, built for the audience you need to reach.
You do, completely. Domain, hosting, CMS and code are all registered in your name from day one. If you ever want to work with another developer, they open the repository and keep going.
One person, on purpose. The person who does the research and writes the copy is the same person who builds the site and answers your messages. When a project needs skills I don't have, I bring in specific partners and tell you exactly who does what.
