We are not in the Pearl District. We are a ten-person web and software team in northern Italy, working in English for US companies, nine hours ahead of Portland. Here is what we build for Portland businesses, what it costs, and when a local agency is the better call.
Six kinds of project cover almost everything that reaches us from the US. The first job on any call is working out which one you actually need — fairly often it is smaller than the one you came in asking for.
A handful of pages done properly: who you are, what you do, who for, how to reach you. Fast on a phone, accessible, and written around the words your customers actually type into Google. From €350 one-off, or €24.80 a month with hosting and changes included.
Product pages, checkout, shipping rules, sales tax settings, order handling. Shopify when it fits, custom when it does not, and connected to your inventory or accounting so nothing gets keyed in twice.
iOS and Android apps, or an installable web app when the App Store adds nothing. Booking, loyalty, field service, ordering, internal tools for crews who are never at a desk.
Inventory, jobs, scheduling, quoting, service reports. Built around how your company works instead of how a SaaS vendor decided everyone should work. Custom systems start from €1,500.
Leads, deals, orders and documents in one place, plus a portal where clients check status themselves instead of emailing you. Usually saves more hours than the public website.
Two systems that do not talk, and a person retyping data between them: QuickBooks, Shopify, HubSpot, Salesforce, spreadsheets. Automating that handover has the fastest payback of anything on this list.
Every city has its own mix of businesses, and its own software problems. These are the ones we see most from Portland.
E-commerce with real product depth, wholesale portals for retailers, and product configurators.
Online stores, subscriptions, distributor ordering and taproom or tasting-room booking.
Capability sites, supplier portals and document control for companies serving the region's chip industry.
Portfolio sites that load fast, plus project tracking and client portals.
Booking, intake and memberships with HIPAA-conscious handling.
Fast sites and ordering for businesses in Beaverton, Hillsboro, Lake Oswego, Gresham and Vancouver, WA.
Portland brands care how things are made, and their customers notice the difference. We build sites that are fast, accessible and honest about the product, at a fixed price that leaves budget for the photography.
Our quotes are fixed, in writing, in stages, at a fraction of a local agency's — and we build while you sleep.
Oregon has its own privacy law, the Oregon Consumer Privacy Act, and California-style consent expectations apply to customers across the West Coast. We build consent and data handling to match.
Italy is nine hours ahead of Portland. That is the widest gap in the country, and we will not pretend otherwise: the shared window is your early morning, about 7 to 9am Pacific, our late afternoon. It works well for weekly reviews and decisions, and the upside is real — we build while you sleep, so you wake up to progress. It does not work if you need someone on a call with you at 3pm.
The paperwork is simple: contracts in English, a fixed price in writing, invoices without Italian VAT, and intellectual property assigned to your company. Domain, hosting, Google accounts and source code are registered in your name from launch.
When we are the wrong choice. If you need someone in your office every week, a supplier on chat through your whole afternoon, or a team of fifteen running in parallel on a seven-figure program, a Portland firm is the right answer — and we will tell you that on the first call rather than three months in.
Portland searches by neighborhood and suburb: Alberta, Hawthorne, the Pearl, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Lake Oswego, and across the river in Vancouver.
For brands, the competition is national and the narrow door is the product: specific, long searches with buying intent.
Product pages with real content and structured data beat thin catalogs every time.
Yes: account pricing, minimum orders, reorders, invoices and shipment tracking, connected to Shopify or your ERP.
For well-scoped work, yes. Calls go in your early morning, about 7 to 9am Pacific.
Yes, in English, with calls in your morning and the build happening overnight.
A company website costs €350 one-off, plus €150 if you want the initial optimization for Google and Bing, or €24.80 a month with hosting, domain, maintenance and content changes included on a 24-month minimum term. Web apps start at €50 a month or €750 one-off; custom business software starts at €1,500. Larger projects get a fixed quote after a free analysis.
Italy is 9 hours ahead of Pacific time. We schedule calls in your morning, which is our afternoon, and do most of the build while you are offline. In practice you get answers overnight rather than waiting for them during your day.
Yes. On the one-off option the domain, hosting, content and source code are registered in your company's name from go-live, and the code lives in your repository. There is no license tied to us and no lock-in.
Thirty minutes on a video call, free and with no sales deck: we tell you what you actually need, what it costs and how long it takes to go live. If we are not the right fit, we tell you that too.
