A custom site you run yourself.
For small businesses tired of templates and plugins. You change text, pages and photos without writing to me, and changes take days, not quarters.
I'm Luís Agostinho, in Lisbon, and I work with you: you always talk to me.

The work
Three recent projects.
Each one built end to end around how its manager works. Shown with their permission.

What you're tired of, and what you get.
A template that never fits my process
Your site fits your process, not a theme's idea of it.
Plugins to update and fear of touching the site
Updates, backups and monitoring are looked after under a monthly care arrangement we agree together.
If I want to leave, I don't know what I take with me
Your content and data are yours, with a clear handover if you ever want to leave.
What you get
You run it
An admin written for you, with a tutorial built in.
Changes in days
A first version quickly, then short feedback rounds.
Bilingual, built to comply
Built with GDPR and accessibility in mind from day one, in several languages.
The panel
Open the admin your team would use.
A sample admin with made-up data, for a restaurant. Edit a page, add a dish, see the change history. Try it freely: what you do stays in this tab of your browser only and disappears when you close it.
How it works
Four steps, no surprises.
Discovery
We talk through how you work and agree a short written brief.
First version
A live preview link within days, so you react to something real.
Feedback
A fixed number of consolidated rounds, with a visible change log.
Launch and care
Go-live checklist, handover tutorial, then a monthly care arrangement agreed with you: hosting, backups, updates and small changes.
Questions
What people usually ask me.
Who handles updates and maintenance?
I do. I can take care of security updates, backups and fixing what I built. What is included we agree at the start, depending on the project, and its price goes into the quote.

Can I change text and photos myself?
Yes. Every project comes with an admin panel and a guide in plain words, one task at a time. In the demo you can try a sample panel.
How much does it cost?
A website starts at €700, final price, no VAT. It includes about five pages in Portuguese and English, an admin panel to change text, pages and photos, a guide in plain words, access to the client portal, basic SEO, the privacy and accessibility pages, backups, a handover tutorial and 30 days of fixes. Domain and hosting are not included. You pay 30% after our first talk, 40% when you see the first version and the rest after delivery. The final price comes in a written quote, in under a week, after a careful look at what you need. You only go ahead if you agree.

How long does a change take?
Small ones usually take days. Bigger ones we agree case by case, with a clear timeline before we start.
Why not use WordPress or a template?
You can, and for some businesses it is the best option. With me there are no plugins or templates to maintain: the site is built to fit you, and changes do not wait on anyone.

Do the site and the data belong to me?
Yes. If you want a project where I build it and then we go our separate ways, the code is yours once the full price is paid. The data lives in the project's database, and hosting depends on what we agree.

Do you only work in Lisbon?
No. I am based in Lisbon, but I always work remotely, so your business can be anywhere.
