WordPress website development

WordPress website development in Lisbon, Portugal.

Your website needs to explain your services, make the next step clear, and give your team a practical way to manage content. I design and develop WordPress websites for professional service businesses, B2B firms, and brands. I’m based in Lisbon and work with clients worldwide.

Plan the pages around your customers.

We start with your audience, services, content, and the actions visitors should take. I turn that brief into a page structure with useful navigation, clear service information, and sensible enquiry paths. You review the layout before development, so the structure is agreed early.

Choose a WordPress setup you can manage.

I work with Elementor Pro, Breakdance, Kadence, and Gutenberg. The choice depends on the design, features, existing setup, and how you want to edit the site. Reusable layouts and a considered plugin selection help keep routine changes straightforward after handover.

  • Custom page layouts
  • Responsive layouts for phones and larger screens
  • Reusable content sections
  • Agreed forms and integrations

Build the search and performance foundations.

I include the agreed title and description setup, heading structure, internal links, and indexability checks. Images and page assets are reviewed for sensible loading behaviour. These foundations support a useful website; ongoing search visibility also depends on the content, competition, and authority of your business.

Check the website before handover.

Before launch, I review important pages, links, forms, and mobile layouts. If an existing site is being replaced, we plan which content and URLs should carry over. I explain the editing workflow and identify any ongoing maintenance needed for the finished build.

Prepare a useful website brief.

A clear brief helps us make the right decisions early. Share the services you offer, the audience you need to reach, and what a successful enquiry looks like. If you have an existing website, include the pages that work well and any tasks that are difficult to manage. We also review your available copy, brand assets, photography, and required integrations. Missing material is identified before the build schedule is agreed, rather than becoming a surprise when the layouts are ready.

  • Services and audiences
  • Required pages and content
  • Forms, booking tools, or other integrations
  • Who will manage the website

Work directly with the developer.

I’m Bassey, a freelance website designer and developer with 8+ years of experience across 75+ client websites. I work directly with business owners and agencies. Feedback goes to the person doing the implementation, which helps keep decisions clear. At handover, we review the site’s editing approach and any plugin or service dependencies. Your team should know which routine changes it can make and which changes need further development.

BEFORE WE START

Your questions, answered.

Can you rebuild my existing WordPress website?

Yes. I review the current site, useful content, integrations, and any known issues first. We then agree what to retain, what to improve, and how existing URLs will be handled.

Which WordPress builder should I choose?

The right builder depends on your design, editing needs, and existing website. I can work with Elementor Pro, Breakdance, Kadence, or Gutenberg and explain the practical trade-offs before development starts.

Will I be able to edit the website myself?

Yes. We agree the content you need to manage, then build reusable sections and show you how to update them. Complex integrations or structural changes may still require developer support.

Do you include SEO and mobile checks?

The agreed build includes responsive layouts and technical SEO foundations. I check page structure and important functionality. A broader content or search strategy can be scoped through the WordPress SEO service.

How are cost and timing decided?

We review page count, design requirements, content readiness, and integrations before agreeing the scope and schedule. Share your brief and existing website, if you have one, to start that discussion.
