I'm Sergi, from Argentona.
I studied Business and Marketing at TecnoCampus in Mataró. For three years I led marketing for TecnoCampus MotorSports, the university's Formula Student team, where I learned that a brand is won or lost in the details.
I work alone and only make two mock-ups a week, so each one gets the time it needs. When you write, I'm the one who answers.
I speak Catalan, Spanish and English.
Why Portalada.
The Maresme is full of great businesses with websites that don't do them justice: slow, dated or unreadable on a phone. People who find them on Google come away with a worse idea of what they are. I started Portalada so the first impression lives up to the business.
A portalada is the stone entrance of a Catalan farmhouse: the first thing visitors see, and what tells them where they're stepping in. That's where the package names come from: Finestra (window), Porta (door) and Masia (farmhouse).
How I think about a website.
Before it's design, a website is a tool to win customers. That's why I think about it in this order.
- 1What visitors need to doCall, book or ask for a quote. The whole page leads there, and the button is always in view.
- 2How people find youThe words your customers search for, one page per service and your Google listing up to date.
- 3How it looksYour colours and your photos, no generic templates. The design should make people trust you.
Where I work.
I'm from Argentona and work with businesses in the Maresme and Barcelona. In the Maresme, if you like, we can have the first call at your business: that way I see how you work and what your customers see when they walk in.
If you're further away, we do it by phone. I send you the mock-up as a link either way, and you can view it on your phone and computer.
