Plan the page first
What the page has to say, in what order and to whom, settled before anything gets styled. Good styling can’t fix a weak structure.
About
Hello, I’m Edilander.
I build websites for businesses in Portugal, Switzerland and France. For more than fifteen years the starting point has been the same: a good business with a website that doesn’t help people find it, understand it or choose it. Fixing that is what I do.
The short version
Why I do both design and code.
Most web projects are split between someone who designs and someone who builds. That’s where they lose their edge: the design promises something the build can’t deliver, or the build is solid and nobody can tell what it’s for.
I do both, along with the WordPress work and the technical SEO underneath. One person decides all of it against one goal, so there are fewer meetings, fewer compromises and no gap between what was designed and what gets built.
I work from Braga, in northern Portugal, and my clients are spread across Portugal, Switzerland and France. I work remotely, in English or Portuguese.
Before anyone calls you, they’ve looked at your website and decided whether you’re worth the call.

How I approach every project.

Fewer plugins
Where a few lines of code do the job, I write them instead of installing another plugin. Less to break, less to update, less to pay for.
Speed from day one
Image budget, font strategy and what runs on load are settled while the layout is drawn. Auditing performance at the end is the expensive way to do it.
You own everything
Hosting, domain, code, content and analytics. At handover you get the keys and an explanation, and nothing is held back to keep you on a retainer.
What I use
Tools, chosen per project.
The stack follows the brief. These are the tools most projects end up needing.
