Development

Websites, online shops, applications and integrations built to fit what your business actually needs to solve.

Development built for the problem, not for the fashion

Web development at Contágio always starts with the same question: what does this website, this shop or this application have to solve? The technology comes after the answer, never before. We work from Aveiro on projects that run from a six-page company website to a platform with a members' area, calculators and links into internal systems.

Whatever the size, the method is the same: understand the business, design the structure before a line of code is written, build in a staging environment, and only then go live.

When it makes sense to talk to us

Signs that the technical side is holding the business back:

  • the site is slow, or hard to read on a phone;
  • the shop gets visitors and few orders;
  • data is being copied by hand between systems that do not talk to each other;
  • you need something no off-the-shelf product does.

The five services in this discipline

Each service has its own page, with the process, the deliverables and the questions we get asked.

Websites and web pages

Company and catalogue websites, run by you, quick, and built to be found.

Online shop

Selling online with payments, couriers and invoicing joined up in one place.

Web applications

Management platforms, client portals and calculators built to measure.

Integrations (APIs)

Links between the website and the systems you already run, to put an end to typing everything twice.

Landing pages

Campaign pages with one message and one job: to bring in enquiries.

Projects in this discipline

From the Credimax platforms to the Xipa Store website and shop, the development work is gathered in the portfolio. The interface design comes from the design discipline and the promotion from marketing.

Common questions about development

The questions that reach us most often before a project starts.

Do you work with WordPress or build from scratch?

Both. A site you need to run yourself sits happily in a content management system; a platform with rules of its own gets built from scratch. The choice is made at the start, and explained.

Do I own the project?

You do. The code, the content and the credentials are yours at the end of the project, with the documentation another team would need to carry on the work.

Can you work on a site that already exists?

Yes. We look at what is there and tell you straight whether it is worth fixing or rebuilding. Sometimes a performance job sorts it out; other times, keeping what exists costs more than starting again.

Who looks after the hosting and the domain?

We can look after them, or work with the supplier you already have. Either way, the registrations stay in your company's name.
