About
Production e-commerce experience, applied to your next website
Remote freelance developer for startups and online stores — clear communication, realistic timelines, and work shaped around business outcomes.
Portugal · Remote worldwide · English & Portuguese
I'm Flávio Santos, a remote freelance web developer based in Portugal. I work with startups, small businesses, and online stores worldwide — on sites that look professional, load quickly, and help customers take action.
Before freelancing, I shipped production products at Worten Portugal, one of the country's largest retailers — checkout flows, shared UI systems, and order APIs used by real shoppers at scale. That background means your project gets the same care applied to high-traffic e-commerce: performance, clarity, and code that stays maintainable after launch.
You'll get straightforward updates, honest timelines, and solutions tied to outcomes — more leads, smoother checkout, and a stronger online presence. English and Portuguese.
Services
What I build for founders and store owners
Websites, landing pages, and checkout experiences — focused on speed, clarity, and the results that matter to your business.
Custom Website Development
Business websites built around your brand and goals — not a template with your logo dropped in. Structured to build trust and guide visitors toward action.
A professional online presence that loads fast and turns interest into inquiries.
Landing Page Development
Focused pages for launches, campaigns, and lead generation — clear messaging, strong calls to action, and fast load times on mobile.
More sign-ups and inquiries from the traffic you are already paying for.
E-commerce & Checkout
Storefronts and purchase flows built with the same rigour I used on national retail checkout — fewer friction points, clearer paths to pay, fewer abandoned carts.
A smoother purchase experience on phones and desktops, from product page to payment.
Website Maintenance
Updates, performance checks, and small improvements after launch — hourly or on a simple retainer so your site stays current as the business grows.
A reliable partner after go-live, not a one-off handoff.
Case Studies
Production work behind the freelance practice

Custom business websites, conversion-focused landing pages, e-commerce storefronts, and checkout experiences — for founders and store owners who need a reliable remote developer, not a large agency.

I work hourly at €60/hour. On the free discovery call I'll estimate the hours for your project and confirm payment terms (typically a deposit to start, then billed as work progresses). Ongoing support is also hourly or via a simple monthly retainer.
Yes. Hourly support covers updates, content changes, performance checks, and small improvements. A monthly retainer is available if you prefer predictable help.
