Every euro invested in a website should stand up in a board meeting. That is the standard behind every decision I make.

Nobody remembers a generic website.

Being remembered is what makes a website work: being chosen, being found again, being recommended.

Pages all made from the same template, in a grid, and just one that is different: the one for Casa do Pátio, an example restaurant.

From the first visit to everyday work.

For companies, associations, institutions, cultural projects and independent professionals.

From request to launch, and after.

  1. Listen

    What the project has to do, for whom and why. Colours can wait.

  2. Propose

    The proposal, with time to read it, ask questions and decide.

  3. Design and code

    Page by page, already working. What is approved on screen is what goes live.

  4. Stay

    I fine-⁠tune whatever real use reveals.

Three promises

  • Everything in writing before work starts.

    Before work starts, I set out in writing the scope, the timeline and the price. Whatever changes later changes in writing.

  • Launch is not the end.

    Once live, a 30-⁠day warranty. Then adjustments and new features, by the hour or by the job, from the person who wrote the code.

What’s already live.

João Vieira

I’ve been coding since 2016. In 2023 I founded JV Studio.

No project starts from a template: each starts from a blank page and from what there is to say.

See the background

Before the first email.

What does a project cost?

There are no set prices: each project’s price follows the scope and is set in the proposal, valid for 30 days. Half is paid on acceptance and half on delivery, or in stages on larger projects. Prices exclude VAT, except in proposals to consumers, which include it.

How long does a project take?

In a typical project, a website goes live around week seven, the first version of a web application around week five and a platform around week nine. The exact date is set in the proposal, and meeting it also depends on content and approvals arriving on time.

Who owns the code and the domain?

The code and the domain belong to whoever commissions the project, once it is paid in full: the rights to the code, design and copy pass to the client, with the domain and any accounts in my name. Payment and invoicing accounts are always in the client’s name.

Is a maintenance contract required?

Maintenance is not required: after the warranty, each adjustment is booked when it is needed, with no lock-⁠in and no compulsory monthly fee. Urgent work and larger new features get their own proposal.

Can a project built by someone else be taken on?

I take on projects built by others, whether websites, online shops or platforms. The first step is a free audit of the project, including recovering any missing access; the proposal comes after.

Does the project depend on one person?

The project does not depend on one person: the source code comes with technical documentation, and the terms already give written consent for someone else to change, extend or reuse the work.

Does JV Studio work only in Portugal?

No: I work in Portugal and abroad, in Portuguese and English. Websites come in whichever languages the project needs, with translations agreed in the proposal, and meetings happen by video call or in person, whichever suits the client best.

A project starts with an email.

The type of project, a name and an email are enough. I reply personally on the next working day.
