001 / what I do
You build the business. I build the thing it needs.
Miguel Ferreira
Websites, apps and internal tools. Built around your case, delivered running in your day to day, and kept working afterwards — because what nobody maintains stops working without warning.
No strings · I'll tell you if it isn't worth it
002 / what it's for
Two things. I don't do anything else.
If your case isn't one of these, I'll say so on the call and neither of us wastes the time.
01
The thing for a moment
A wedding, a launch, a campaign, an application. Something is going to happen and it needs a place on the internet that works well on the day. It has a beginning, a middle and an end.
02
The everyday tool
The work that today lives in a spreadsheet, a notebook or a WhatsApp group, and that nobody can follow any more. It becomes an app someone opens every morning.
Automation and agents live inside these two, when they're the right answer to your case. I don't sell them separately.
003 / how it works
Four steps, and you always know where you stand.
- 01
A thirty-minute call.
You show me how you do it today, with which tools, and what it's costing you in time or money. I ask questions, and most of them aren't about technology.
- 02
I tell you what makes sense.
What can be built, what isn't worth building, and what it comes to in your case. If it doesn't add up, I say so — that's cheaper for both of us than finding out halfway.
- 03
I build the smallest thing that solves it.
Not the biggest thing I can imagine. You watch it grow, and you can change your mind while changing it is still cheap.
- 04
I stay and keep it working.
What nobody maintains stops working without warning. When the thing is meant to live, it stays with me — and you always talk to whoever built it.
004 / who I am
I'm Miguel, and I build this on my own.
I'm not an agency and I don't hand your work to anyone else. The person you talk to on the call is the one who writes the code and the one who answers when something breaks.
I take on few projects at a time, on purpose. I'd rather deliver three things that keep working than ten that nobody maintains.
And I say no easily. If your case would be better served by a tool that already exists, or by somebody else, I'd rather tell you than do lukewarm work.
005 / straight answers
What people ask me before they book.
- What does it cost?
- It depends on the case, which is why I don't have a price list — I don't sell the same thing to everyone. On the call I work out what you need and give you a figure. And I tell you when it isn't worth it.
- How long does it take?
- Also depends. A page is one thing; a tool with accounts, permissions and real data is another. I'd rather give you a date after understanding the problem than a number now that I won't be able to keep.
- Do you work with people who already have a site or a system running?
- Yes, and that's the usual case. You almost never start from nothing: there's a spreadsheet, an old site or a tool already in use, and most of the work is connecting to that rather than throwing it away.
- After you deliver, am I on my own with it?
- Only if you want to be. The code is yours and you can take it wherever you like. But if you'd rather, I stay and keep it working — that's what most people choose, because software nobody touches rots quietly.
006 / next step
Bring me your case.
Thirty minutes. You show me what you need, I tell you what can be done and whether it's worth doing. No strings.
