Web design and SEO studio · Greater Lisbon
Websites that look right.
And get found.
We design and build websites for local businesses, and take care of what happens around them: Google Maps, SEO and AI answers. All by someone doing SEO since 2016.
A one-person studio with a sales partner in Lisbon. We talk to you in Portuguese, by WhatsApp, phone or email.
Work
Websites made to fit each business.
Concepts are examples we created for fictional businesses. Client sites appear as they give permission.
Services
A website is the start. Being chosen is the goal.
Search-optimised websites
Start with a website built to bring in enquiries. Already have one? We tell you whether it needs fixes or a rebuild.
- Presence: For businesses with no site, or a site that fails on mobile.
- Local: For businesses that want to win service + area searches.
- Authority: For competitive markets, or to appear in AI answers.

Studio design, SEO brain.
Most agencies do one thing well. We design the site and know what Google, Maps and AI do with it.
- 01
Design that converts
One clear primary action, proof visible without scrolling, contact in one tap. We design for people who decide in seconds on a phone.
- 02
SEO from the first sketch
One page per search intent, correct titles, structured data. The site is born to be found, not optimised afterwards.
- 03
Measured, not promised
A fixed set of searches and AI questions, repeated every month. No ranking guarantees; numbers instead.

Who is behind it
Sven Verhaeghe
