Web design in Rio Maior
We build websites, online stores and web platforms for businesses in Rio Maior and across the Santarém district, Portugal. We're a two-person studio with an office on Rua Maestro Fernando Carvalho. If you'd rather talk across a table than over email, we can meet this week. We handle the domain, the hosting, the design and the code, and we keep looking after the site once it's live. You ask for a quote, we give you a price the first time.
What's included
Business website
Pages, copy and images organised for someone arriving from Google or Instagram with thirty seconds of patience. Built from scratch, not from a bought theme that looks like two hundred other companies.
Online store
Catalogue, cart and payments by MB Way, Multibanco and card. You manage products, stock and orders yourself, in a panel you can use without a manual and without calling us to change a price.
Domain and hosting
We register the domain and run managed hosting. One invoice instead of three services from three companies, one of which quietly expires in August.
Maintenance and security
Updates, backups and a managed firewall, included in the monthly plan. A site that's down is a site that stopped selling, and most sites that die die of neglect, not of low traffic.
Custom platforms and software
For when a website isn't enough: quoting software, client areas, integrations with what you already run. That's what we built for Dwel, who now quote on our platform instead of in spreadsheets.
Technical SEO groundwork
Semantic structure, speed, structured data and Search Console set up the day the site goes live. We don't sell SEO as an add-on: the site ships ready to be found, and the rest is content and time.
How much a website costs in Rio Maior
Prices are public, here and on the pricing page. Monthly plans from €40 + VAT, with an upfront payment that scales with the project. No forty-slide proposals, no numbers that change depending on who's asking.
Work we've shipped
Passarinho is a full web app, from login to admin panel. Dwel has both a website and quoting software built by us. Rio Maior Digital is our own project, in Rio Maior, right next to our office, the most honest proof that we do this because we like it.
Why a studio based in Rio Maior
Meet in person
We're on Rua Maestro Fernando Carvalho, five minutes from the centre. Some things take twenty minutes across a table and two weeks over email.
Same-day answers
There are two of us. No account manager, no ticket system, no queue. You talk to the people doing the work.
We know the ground
We know what works for a business in Rio Maior, Santarém or the Ribatejo, and we can tell it apart from Lisbon agency noise. Your customer isn't the same, so your site shouldn't be either.
Digitalisation funding
Rio Maior ran €10,000 digitalisation vouchers for small businesses. When a scheme opens, we tell you and help with the technical side of the application, usually the point where people give up.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a website cost in Rio Maior?
It depends on size. Monthly plans start at €40 + VAT, with an upfront payment of €500–800 on the Essencial plan and €1,000–1,500 on Ativo. A small business site almost always lands in one of those two.
Do you work with businesses outside Rio Maior?
Yes. We work with clients across Portugal and some have never visited. Rio Maior is where we are, not where the map ends.
How long does a website take?
Two to six weeks, counted from the moment we have copy and images in hand. What usually causes delay isn't the code, it's the content, so we help write it when needed.
What do I need before we start?
An idea of what you're selling and to whom. A logo, copy and photographs help things move faster. If you don't have them, the design half of the studio handles that, quoted separately from the website plan.
Do I own the site?
You do. Domain, content and code are yours. If you ever want to move the project elsewhere, we hand everything over without drama and without an exit fee.
Do you build online stores with Portuguese payment methods?
We do. MB Way, Multibanco and card, plus a link to the invoicing software you already use if you need one.
What happens after the site is live?
We stay. Maintenance is part of the monthly plan: content updates, backups, security and whatever changes come up. We don't disappear on delivery day.
