Work ↗04 / About
One person, start to finish.
I'm Paulo. I'm from Brazil and I work in English, Spanish and Portuguese. I design and build websites for small businesses, mostly around Volusia and Flagler, the kind of places where the owner answers the phone. I do the whole job myself, from the first sketch to the last line of code, so nothing gets lost in a hand-off.
I care about sites that load fast, read clearly and move with a bit of intent. Motion should show you where to look, not show off. If a page can say something in fewer words, I cut the words. If it needs a little theatre to feel like your business, I build the theatre.

Design, build, launch, care. One person from the first sketch to the last line of code, so nothing gets lost in a hand-off.
I start with how your customers actually find and choose you, then design the pages around that. You see real layouts in the browser early, not a slide deck. Type, color and motion get decided together so the site feels like one thing.
I build the site by hand with modern, well-supported tools, so it stays fast on an old phone and a weak signal. Every page is tested on real screen sizes and with a keyboard. You get code you own, not a template you rent.
I handle the domain, hosting, redirects from your old site and the basics search engines need. On launch day I check every page again on live hardware. You get a short plain-language guide to what was set up and where.
After launch I can stay on for small updates, new pages and seasonal changes. If something breaks, you text me instead of filing a ticket. No lock-in: you can take the site anywhere, any time.
01 / Work
Six fictional small businesses, designed and built as if they were real. Move across a card: the wireframe is where each one started, the finished design is where it ended up.

Choose a starting point. I'll confirm the scope and price after a short call. Monthly care is optional.
03 / Process
Five steps. Each one ends with something you can click, read or approve.
01 / Step
We talk about your business, who you serve and what the site has to do for you. I ask about the questions customers repeat on the phone, because the site should answer them first.
02 / Step
I lay out the pages in grey boxes, the rough version, so we can agree on what goes where before anything gets polished. Changing a sketch is cheap. Changing a finished page is not.
03 / Step
The sketch gets type, color, photography direction and motion, built right in the browser. You click through it on your own phone and tell me what feels off.
04 / Step
I turn the approved design into the real site: fast, accessible and easy to update. I test it on phones, tablets and big screens, and fix what I find.
05 / Step
We go live together. I check everything on the real address, hand over the keys, and stay reachable for the small things that come up after.
05 Contact
I take on a few projects at a time. Tell me about yours.
