May Design Studio is a small Porto-based web design studio for brands that value warmth, craft, and attention to detail. Every pixel is intentional. Every page tells your story.
We are not a factory. We are a studio. We take six projects at a time because good design requires focus, and focus requires saying no.
Bespoke multi-page websites for brands that deserve better than a template. Designed from scratch, built to convert, made to last.
Online stores that feel as considered as a physical boutique. Product pages that make people want to buy, not just browse.
One page. One story. Maximum impact. For product launches, campaigns, events, and ideas that need a home on the web.
Logos, palettes, type systems, and brand guides for businesses that are ready to look as good as they are.
Pixel-perfect Webflow builds for designers who design in Figma and need someone who can translate every detail faithfully.
Monthly plans to keep your website healthy, secure, and up to date. Because launching is just the beginning.
A handmade ceramics brand from Aveiro needed an online store as tactile as their products. We designed a Shopify store with warm earth tones, large product photography, and a checkout flow that increased conversion by 44%.
A boutique hotel in the Douro Valley wanted a website that felt like arriving at the property — calm, warm, and elegant. We created a 15-page site with full-bleed photography, smooth scroll animations, and integrated booking.
A Lisbon architecture firm needed an identity and website that reflected their minimal, considered approach. We designed a monochrome identity system and a portfolio site that lets the architecture speak for itself.
A long first conversation. We learn about your business, your audience, your taste, your goals, and your anxieties. No brief is too detailed. No question is too small. This call shapes everything that follows.
Wireframes — the blueprint before the building. We map every page's structure, hierarchy, and flow. You see and approve the skeleton before we add any colour or imagery. Changes at this stage cost nothing.
High-fidelity mockups in Figma. This is where your website comes to life — typography, colour, imagery, spacing, every detail. We present, you feedback, we refine. Nobody moves forward until you feel it in your bones.
Clean code. Every breakpoint tested. Every interaction smooth. Every page fast. We build what was approved — no surprises, no shortcuts. You get a staging link to test before anything goes live.
DNS, SSL, analytics, final QA. We launch together and monitor for 72 hours. Then we hand over the keys with a personal walkthrough so you know exactly how to manage your new home on the web.
May Design Studio made our website feel like walking into our hotel. Every guest who books online tells us the website gave them the confidence to choose us. That is not just design — that is business impact. We have been with them for three years now and would not work with anyone else.
Catarina M."The Shopify store they built for us increased our online revenue by 44% in the first quarter. Every detail — from product photography guidelines to the checkout flow — was thought through with care. Working with May feels like working with friends who happen to be world-class designers."
"Our architecture firm needed a website as minimal and considered as our buildings. May delivered exactly that — and the process was as pleasant as the result. No rushing, no pressure, just thoughtful collaboration that produced something we are genuinely proud of."
Your website is the most visited room in your business. Let us make it feel like home.
