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…

Giacomo Vasoio
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.
Sandra Powell
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!!!
Rebecca Modlin
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

Tiago has been absolutely perfect all the way from the first consultation to discussing further needs. Nothing was too much trouble. If he doesn't know what you really need he will research it and deliver. I really can't recommend his service enough. Don't go searching for another website designer. You have found him already!!
Darryl Clarkson
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.

I could not fault him one bit. I had a particular vision in mind and he brought it to life with zero hassle. Kebab on me Tiago!

It feels like he’s available all the time, and the results he’s given are incredible.There is so much to consider with SEO campaigns that I was becoming overwheled but he’s helped me to build a website that is continue to generate more and more traffic.I have absolutely now idea how he manages to do it, but the tweaks and changes he continually makes have a huge impact on the slick and quality feel for the site. Check it out for yourself. Smart Estate Agency co uk.I will not go anywhere else for websites and SEO management. Tiago is the best in his industry.
Jonathan Cabble
After spending quite some time looking for a web designer that understood my business and could assist at a reasonable price, I came across Tiago. From the outset he was a stand out professional that took great pride in the work that he does and his service.He was transparent, honest, reliable and incredibly hard working to ensure my website was completed by the deadline with no compromise on quality. On a number of occasions Tiago gave me ideas to make the website even better. He genuinely wants to create the best product that you, as the client, will be happy with. His service is worth every penny and I have no hesitation in recommending him to others looking to have a website made. You are in safe hands with Tiago.

Tiago was honestly amazing through the whole process, I don’t know how he possibly replies so quick with all his ongoing projects. Any question you ask you can rest easy he’ll go above and beyond to not just answer the question but provide you with further reading/video links to further understand what you’ve asked. The website design was professional and better than I could ever of imagined.Definitely would recommend to anyone.

One of the key factors I look for in any professionals is their ability to respond in a timely fashion.

Jamie Knott
I first saw Tiago's work when I was on the internet on a different site. I liked the way it was done. So I checked out the bottom of the page and his 'created by' was there. I got speaking to him and within 1 month of the initial call we have a site up and running. I'm well happy with the site. Whilst the site was in the process of being built he has also made me 4 different Logos and with a few free revisions in there too!I can not recommend this guy enough and I will use him in the very near future again for more business ventures

Alma
I have no words to describe how appreciative I am of Tiago’s work on the website he created for my online teaching venture. Not only is Tiago very responsive to queries and super cooperative with his clients. But he’s genuinely interested in delivering a product that works and appeals to his clients. I’ve had several meetings with different website designers to discuss plans and costs to produce my own work platform and I was a little suspicious about settling for a designer that I couldn’t meet in person due to the different geographical areas we live in. But I was incredibly impressed with the smooth communication process and Tiago’s skills at producing a website I’m very pleased with.If you’re looking for a top guy to design your company’s website, look no further. This is your man. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you very much for your hard work Tiago.
