Portalada · Custom websites in the Maresme

Your business is better than your website.

Before reading a word, people have already decided whether to trust you. They decide by how your website looks. If it's old, slow or hard to read on a phone, they assume the business is too, and move on.

I build websites for shops, restaurants, offices, wineries and small manufacturers who do good work and need to look like it online.

According to Stanford University, a website's look is the first reason people trust it, or don't.

It's not just a pretty website.

Before drawing anything, we decide who the website talks to, what visitors should do and how they'll find you on Google. Design comes after.

I come from marketing: a website is a sales tool, not decoration.

Strategy

Who you're talking to, what sets you apart and what you want visitors to do: call, book or ask for a quote.

Google and local SEO

The words your customers search for, a properly set-up Google Business profile and a fast site Google understands.

Copy that sells

Written for people, without empty words, in Catalan, Spanish or English.

Custom design

A look that resembles your business, not a template.

You see it first. Then you decide.

Before you pay anything, you see the homepage of your new website. I show it to you in person or on a private, watermarked link that stays off Google and expires after seven days.

See it on your phone and computer, exactly as it will look
It's a preview: the real website is built once you say yes
If you don't like it, I delete it and you owe me nothing

A website is built like an arch: one stone at a time.

Four steps. The third is what sets me apart: you see your website before committing to anything.

I make two mock-ups a week.

1
We meet
Fifteen minutes on the phone or at your business: what you do, who you sell to and what website you need.
2
You send me the material
Your logo, three photos and your services. That way the mock-up really looks like your business.
3
I show you the homepage
You see it three days after I get the material. If you like it, you pay half and we carry on. If not, we stop there and you owe me nothing.
4
We build it and look after it
I publish it and send you a 5-minute video with what you need to know: where your domain is and when it renews, where messages arrive and how to ask me for changes. The other half, once you're happy with it.

How I work, step by step

Before and after.

Drag the shutter to compare. This is a sample with a made-up winery in Alella.

Sample. Made-up business.

Welcome

Before you ask for three quotes.

What you'll often find, and how I do it.

Based on the websites of agencies that show up on Google.

What’s usual

The price isn't on the website: you have to ask for a quote.
You pay part of it before seeing anything.
You don't know if the domain is yours or the agency's.
A monthly fee, with a minimum term.
You don't know when they'll reply.

At Portalada

Fixed, published prices, from €99 + VAT.
You see the homepage of your new website before paying anything.
Domain and website in your name from day one.
Upkeep is optional, with no lock-in. The website works the same without it.
I reply the same working day.

Fixed price. You know what’s included before we start.

Three websites, like the parts of a Catalan farmhouse: the window (finestra) to be seen, the door (porta) to let people in, and the whole house (masia). The price you see is the price you pay: no “from” and no surprises.

Launch price for the first five clients who let me show their website as a case study. After that, the normal price.
