How working with us looks
From first call to launch
Everything happens in English, over email, video calls, WhatsApp or Telegram, whichever suits you. Because we share your clock, calls fit into your normal working day.
Step 01
Intro
call
A video call at a time that suits you in the UK. We ask about your business, your customers and what the site or product has to do.
Step 02
Scope
& contract
We write down everything we will do, with the price and the dates, and we both sign a contract before we start.
Step 03
Design you
approve
You see the structure and the design first. We build nothing until you have approved it.
Step 04
Build
& launch
A landing page usually takes 2 to 4 weeks; a business website or online shop 4 to 8 weeks. An MVP can be ready in a month or two, or take longer if it is complex.
Step 05
Support
after launch
The same team stays on for updates and fixes. We reply to support requests within 24 hours and resolve most within 48 to 72 hours.
Data and contracts
The paperwork, kept simple
Working with a team in another country raises fair questions about data, contracts and money. Here is how it works with us.
01
EU GDPR
applies
We are a business in Portugal, so the EU's General Data Protection Regulation governs how we handle your data and your customers' data. Our privacy policy explains what we collect and why.
02
A contract
before work starts
The scope, the price and the dates are written down and signed by both sides before we begin, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
03
Prices
in euros
Our prices and quotes are in euros. Prices on this page do not include VAT.

Questions
FAQ
What UK businesses usually ask before hiring a web team in Portugal.
Is it a good idea to hire a web design studio in Portugal for a UK company?
It can be, if the studio works the way you do. Mainland Portugal is on the same time as the UK all year, so calls and replies happen in your working day. At Rising Formula, a web design agency in Quarteira, Algarve, we work in English, agree the scope, price and dates in a signed contract before we start, follow the EU GDPR, and stay on for support after launch. Whoever you choose, check who you will actually talk to, whether the price is written down, and who looks after the site once it is live.
How much does a small business website cost?
With us, a one-page landing page is from €490, a business website of 5 to 7 pages is from €1,500, and an online shop is from €2,000. Prices are in euros and do not include VAT. The final price depends on the pages, features and integrations you need, and it is written into the contract before any work starts.
Can a studio in Portugal build an MVP for a UK startup?
Yes. We build MVPs as web apps, mobile apps or both: we cut the idea down to what real users need to test it, show you progress in weekly demos, and keep building after launch based on how people use it. Some MVPs are ready in a month or two; more complex ones take longer. A startup MVP is from €2,000. See how we build MVPs.
Which time zone and language do you work in?
We work in English (and Portuguese) and on the same clock as the UK: mainland Portugal uses the same time as the UK all year, including the switch to summer time. Calls are over video, and day-to-day messages by email, WhatsApp or Telegram.
