A website is a working tool
A good website is not just a nice slide in a pitch. It has to open fast on a phone, show up on Google for what your customers search, speak the language of whoever lands on it and, more and more often, do real work: take bookings, payments, documents and requests.
We are a web design and development team in Lisbon. We design and build websites and web platforms, and we keep looking after them after launch. Design and code sit side by side, and quite often it is the same person doing both.
What we do
- Company websites, fast and clear, like this one, in English and Portuguese.
- Booking and payment platforms, with a customer area and a back office.
- Marketplaces and catalogues with search, filters and a page for every item.
- Migrations that keep your Google traffic: we move platforms while keeping the old addresses or redirecting them one by one.
- Multilingual websites with their own URLs per language, hreflang and a sitemap.
For companies new to Portugal
If you have just set up in Portugal, your website probably has to work in English and in European Portuguese, follow EU privacy rules and look local to Portuguese customers. We write and review the Portuguese copy as native European Portuguese, not Brazilian, unless Brazil is your market. We know the rules that apply here: GDPR, the cookie notice and the official complaints book. And we offer in-person meetings in the Lisbon area by appointment.
Speed and SEO from day one
Technical SEO is not something you bolt on at the end. On every project we take care of:
- pages rendered on the server or prerendered, so Google reads the content without waiting for JavaScript;
- a title and description written for each page, with length limits checked by automated tests;
- structured data (organisation, articles, services, FAQs);
- sitemap, hreflang and social sharing images;
- continuous speed measurement, with marketing scripts loaded after the page.
Privacy and security by default
This website sets no tracking cookies and loads no third-party trackers. Yours does not have to be the same, but we always start from the minimum and explain the cost of every script you add. A content security policy, HTTPS and security headers are part of the delivery.
Releases and upkeep
Our own products, rent.moto.pt and auto.moto.pt, run on our own infrastructure, with automatic releases after the tests pass and a staging environment separate from production. Your website lives with the hosting provider you choose, or the one you already have, and we set up the same pipeline there: tests, automatic releases and a staging copy. After launch, small requests often go live the same day.
How a web project runs
- First call. We look at your current website, if there is one, who your customers are and what the website has to do for them.
- Structure and copy. We settle the pages, the URLs and the words your customers type into Google before any design work.
- Design and build together. You see real pages early, on a phone and on a laptop, instead of static mock-ups.
- Migration and launch. We redirect the old addresses, check speed and the sitemap, and watch Search Console for the weeks after.
- After launch. Copy changes, new pages and speed work, with automated tests before every release.
Who we work for
Companies in Portugal that need a website to do more than show a contact form, and foreign companies setting up here that want a site in English and European Portuguese, done right the first time.
