Website Development in Portugal

Portugal is rapidly becoming one of the EU's main hubs for tech startups. The NHR tax regime, low cost of living, and a growing tech community are attracting more and more founders to Portugal. Exceltic.dev builds websites on clean code: international stack, speed, SEO.

What we build for companies in Portugal

  • One-page site - fast launch for an LDA (Portuguese company) with a minimal budget
  • Corporate site - multi-page site for the EU market with blog and forms
  • Headless CMS site - with the ability to edit content independently
  • Multilingual site - Portuguese + English with correct hreflang
  • Migration from WordPress - to a modern stack with SEO preserved

Why Portugal is becoming a startup hub

Portugal attracts tech companies with low taxes, EU membership, and affordable office space. The Portugal WebSummit - one of the world's largest tech events - shows the ecosystem has matured. Competition for clients and investors is already real.

For companies that relocated to Portugal, a website needs to work for an international market: EU users, EU GDPR, proper analytics. We build from scratch or migrate from a legacy stack - quickly and without losing search positions.

What we account for in Portugal

European Portuguese is not Brazilian. The differences in vocabulary and spelling are enough for a local audience to notice: text translated "into Portuguese in general" reads as foreign. For the site it is also a markup question - the version is declared as pt-PT, otherwise search engines may serve it to the wrong audience.

Accessibility is a requirement now, not a nice-to-have. The European Accessibility Act has applied since 28 June 2025 to online stores and services for consumers in the EU. The standard is WCAG 2.1 AA: keyboard navigation, sufficient contrast, labelled form fields, correct headings. We build this into the markup from the beginning - bringing a finished site into line costs noticeably more.

Cities we work with

Lisbon and Porto, as well as the Algarve and Madeira, where remote teams often settle. The format is the same in any city - fully asynchronous, with no dependence on an office.
