How does the quote work?
You tell us what you need (form or email). Within 48 business hours you receive a proposal with detailed scope, timeline and fixed price. If you approve, we start with 50% upfront. No "estimates" that grow with every email. What's in the quote is what you pay.
Can I get a mockup before committing?
Yes. We offer 4 free mockups per month. If your project makes sense to us, we'll invest 5–7 days designing for free. You see the page before you ask for a quote. No card. No login.
Do you offer phone or 24/7 chat support?
No. Support is by email ([email protected]), Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm (WET). Response SLA: 48h business-hours on Start, 24h on Pro, 8h on Scale. We'd rather spend time solving than answering, and the price reflects that.
What if my site goes down on a Saturday?
We run automated 24/7 monitoring (UptimeRobot + Sentry) that catches downtime in seconds. On Scale plans (online shops) we try to act on a best-effort basis for critical emergencies out of hours. On other plans, we act on the next business hour. The SLA counts business hours, not calendar.
I have an old site on platform X. Can you migrate it?
Yes. We migrate from Wix, Shopify, Squarespace, PrestaShop, Joomla, Drupal or outdated WordPress. We preserve content, URLs and SEO through 301 redirects. The Redesign service rebuilds the design; Migration just changes hosting. Either way you get a custom quote.
When you clean my infected site, do you keep my customers' data?
We work on the files, which is where malware lives. The database is only copied when there is no alternative and, in that case, order and customer tables are left out. Before we touch anything we sign a data processing agreement with a defined purpose and deletion deadline. One important note: a compromised site may qualify as a personal data breach, with an obligation to notify the supervisory authority within 72 hours. We tell you that in writing at the start, but the decision to notify is yours.
What if the site gets infected again after the clean-up?
Clean-ups carry a 30-day guarantee, provided you also accept closing the entry point and the updates we recommend. If you decline that part we still clean it, but without a guarantee, because the cause stays in place. Reinfection is almost never new malware: it is the same hole left open, usually an outdated plugin, a weak password, or another infected site on the same hosting account.
Can I cancel hosting anytime?
Yes. No lock-in. Monthly or annual (with a discount). If you leave, we send you a full backup and help with the migration.
Do quotes include content and images?
Base copy yes (up to 800 words per page). For images we use free stock libraries (Pexels, Unsplash) or what you provide. Custom professional photography is quoted separately.
What happens if I exceed the visits or bandwidth limits?
We reach out to talk about an upgrade. We don't cut the site off. The limits are capacity guidelines, not hard walls. Most SMB institutional sites never come close to the Start plan limits.
Who sets up the payments (Stripe, MB Way, Multibanco)?
You open the accounts. Stripe takes 10 minutes online; MB Way + Multibanco go through Ifthenpay with 2–5 days of bank approval. We send a step-by-step guide, install and configure the plugins, and test a real €1 transaction before go-live. Legal requirement: accounts must be in your name for KYC.
Do I need my own invoicing software?
Yes. In Portugal it's legally required to issue invoices through software certified by the tax authority (AT). We recommend Moloni (free plan up to 50 documents/year) or InvoiceXpress (from €9.90/mo). You create the account, we integrate the plugin with your store. If you already use Primavera, Sage, Cloudware or Vendus, we connect to what you have.
Do you do integrations (payments, marketplaces, CRMs)?
Yes. Each case is specific, so it's always a custom quote. We have built them for iOutlet: Mirakl (Fnac PT/ES, Worten, Carrefour ES, Back Market), Stripe, Ifthenpay, Brevo, GA4/GTM. If you need something connected, describe it in the quote request.
What stack do you use?
Dedicated European server (Hetzner), Nginx + PHP 8.4 + Redis + MariaDB 11, Cloudflare CDN, Let's Encrypt SSL. Real production infrastructure, not shared hosting. The same stack running 17,000 products on iOutlet.
Is there a contract?
Yes, simple: scope, prices, deadlines, IP transferred to you upon payment. 2 pages in plain language.
