00 Porto software studio

Senior software engineering, priced before you ask.

Porto-based, senior-only. Every service is priced from day one, and every engagement follows a process you can read before you sign anything.

What we commit to

You own the code and the IP.

Everything we build transfers to you on completion and payment — no licensing traps, no dependency on us to keep running your own product.

Senior engineers only.

Every person on your engagement is senior. Nobody junior is billed at a senior rate, and nobody senior pitches the work only to hand it to a team you never meet.

EU-based, GDPR-native.

We operate under Portuguese and EU law, in your timezone, with data handling that's GDPR-compliant by construction, not by afterthought.

A written estimate before we start.

You get a written, fixed-scope estimate before any work begins — not a verbal ballpark, not a moving target.

How we work

Every engagement follows the same documented stages — enquiry, written estimate, discovery, build, launch, handover. You can read the whole thing before you ever talk to us.

  1. 01 Enquiry & estimate
  2. 02 Discovery & build
  3. 03 Launch & handover

Questions worth answering upfront.

Are the prices on your site final?

They're indicative, published so you can tell early whether we're in your range. Every engagement still gets a written, fixed-scope estimate based on your actual requirements before anything is agreed — the number on the page is a starting point for that conversation, not a quote.

What happens after I send an enquiry?

We reply within one business day. If there's a fit, we turn your enquiry into a written, fixed-scope estimate before anything else happens — you're not committing to a sales call to find out roughly what this costs.

Who owns the code once the project is finished?

You do. Code and IP transfer to you on completion and full payment — that's a standing commitment, not a negotiated extra. There's no licensing arrangement that leaves you dependent on us to keep running your own product.

Is our data handled under GDPR?

Yes. We're a Portuguese business operating under GDPR and Lei n.º 58/2019, with the CNPD as the supervisory authority. Our own website collects no personal data server-side by default — see the Privacy Policy for exactly what is and isn't collected.
