Web development in Vigo

There is a lot of web design on offer in Vigo and much of it looks alike: the same template with a different photo of the ría. In the most populous city in Galicia, with competition in every neighbourhood and every sector, looking like everyone else is expensive.

When a business in Vigo calls us, the problems are usually other than aesthetics: websites that can't be updated without calling the IT guy, forms that reach nobody, bookings that still come in by phone and Google Business profiles with no decent website behind them. The website exists, but it does no work.

That is why we start by asking which task the website should take off your plate: a nightclub's box office, the sign-up paperwork of a sports club, the calls to check availability. The technology is decided from there, not the other way round.

A web application is a website with accounts, data and its own logic: users who log in to their profile, pay, book or check their own information, and a dashboard where your team manages it all. It is what we build when what you need is no longer a page to be read but a tool to be used, with the same team that will later maintain it.

These are the ones we have built. Musa, in Vigo, sells tickets on its own website, with no external ticketing platform and with a customer profile; at La Fábrica, in Redondela, ticket sales come with a purchase history and real-time capacity. PBB, the basketball club in O Porriño, collects fees and enrolment online with accounts for families and players. Nautirent's website queries the fleet management software for boat availability. Kairos Futures is a trading training platform with each student's progress and a built-in AI assistant. At Samoa Café, in Redondela, the menu is edited from the website and switches by itself between day and night. And Autoescuela GTI is a web ERP for the office connected to an app for students.

If the application is going to be used by your own staff from their phones, an installable web app (PWA) is often enough, without going through the app stores. We will tell you frankly which of the two options suits you.

WordPress is good for many things and we have nothing against it. But for a website that has to sell or connect with other systems, relying on a chain of third-party plugins means updates that break things, known security flaws and a site that gets slower with every addition.

With our own code, the website is generated as static or server-rendered pages, with no exposed admin panel and no plugins to patch. And when you need to edit content yourself, we build an editor tailored to what you will really change, instead of a panel with two hundred options: that is how Samoa Café updates its menu from its website.

If you already have WordPress and it works for you, we won't tell you to throw it away. If it has become a problem, we plan the migration so you don't lose rankings along the way.

A custom website doesn't rank on its own, but it can be born without the mistakes that hold most sites back: unique titles and descriptions on every page, schema.org structured data, a sitemap, clean URLs, optimised images and a reviewed accessibility check.

What doesn't depend on us counts too, and we say so plainly: your own content, reviews and a well-kept Google Business profile weigh as much as the code. We explain how to work on them so the website and the profile reinforce each other.
