How I work with a local business

The method is the same whatever the trade.

01
The person you talk to builds it
You talk directly to the person designing and writing the site, not to an account manager, and I stay your single point of contact from start to finish.
02
A company registered in Alenquer
Contracts and invoices are issued by Diogo Duarte, Sociedade Unipessoal Lda., whose registered office is in Cabanas de Torres, in the municipality of Alenquer.
03
Start from the phone
Whoever opens a local business's site nearly always wants one of four things: to call, to get there, to know if it is open, or to book or order. That is where I start, before colours and typefaces.
04
The site and the Google profile saying the same
When someone in Alenquer searches for “barbershop” or “garage”, the first thing they see is the map. When I build a site, the Google profile is part of the same job: checking the hours, setting the right link and using the same business name in both places. I do not promise a position on Maps; nobody can sell one.
05
Scope and price fixed before work starts
After the first conversation you get a proposal with a fixed scope and a fixed price. Changes along the way are quoted before they are built.
06
The domain and the accounts in your name
As a rule, domains and service accounts are registered in your business's name, so you are never locked in.
07
Not from around here?
The work is done remotely, with meetings over video, so where the business is makes no difference: I take projects from anywhere in Portugal and from abroad.
