About Freelance Web Designer

Your Website Design & Optimisation Partner

A website designer based in Manchester

Hey, I’m Tiago: a Freelance Web Designer living and working in Manchester for over 10 years.

Originally from Lisbon (home for Web Summit), I developed a passion for Web Design from a very young age (in the ’90s), allowing me to witness the evolution of the internet and learn how to build websites, even before investing in a Web Design career.

When I first started, I built websites using Raw HTML, CSS, Dreamweaver, Flash and other trendy platforms back then, but 6 years ago, WordPress stole my heart! After getting enough experience working for Digital Marketing Agencies both in Portugal and the UK, I decided to jump into Freelance Web Design and here I am…

I found Tiago via another incredible website that he created. He is so creative and talented. He saw my vision and even made the website more beautiful and professional that I could have ever imagined. He also was always on time with deadlines and gave me suggestions on how to improve the website and advertising. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a beautiful website.

Giacomo Vasoio

understood the brief well and produced a quality and professional product, with excellent communications throughout. recommended

Sandra Powell

Excellent and very efficient service, fantastic communication. Nothing was to difficult and my queries were always answered promptly and effectively. Would definitely recommend this service.

Rebecca Modlin

Just received my final draft from Tiago for my photography business. I was a total amateur coming into the process so I knew I needed someone with knowledge and commitment. I couldn't rate him highly enough, the whole process was totally painless - Tiago was responsive and articulate, explaining more difficult concepts clearly and allowing my input to be constructed just how I wanted it the whole way through. I really admire his ability to put my ideas into motion, far better than I had anticipated and also his commitment to my project. LOOK NO FURTHER!! 10/10, thank you again Tiago!!!

Waheed Iqbal

Absolutely brilliant work and service from Tiago from start to finish. I was very particular on how I wanted the website to be designed and Tiago did not disappoint. He was always willing to go that extra mile to make sure I was happy. In fact he went beyond what was agreed in the contract for which I am truly grateful. Running a business meant I could not always get back to Tiago in a timely manner but Tiago was patient and courteous at all times. His communication and professionalism from the point of initial contact right to the end has been excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending Tiago and will be doing so to my friends and business associates. Thanks again Tiago.Waheed

I have been so pleased with Tiago, and have nothing but praise for him and the services that he offers. I was looking to upgrade my website - to move from a DIY-job on GoDaddy to a professionally made website. I did quite a lot of research in to multiple companies, and settled on Tiago - his communication was professional and responsive, and he seemed to understand exactly what I was looking for. I was delighted that I did choose him, as the final website is brilliant, he was extremely helpful throughout, and his communication was just what I needed. Thank you so much for all your help. Highly recommended.
