Porto
Custom software, web and apps for Porto
Porto and its neighbour Vila Nova de Gaia face each other across the Douro, with the port-wine lodges on the south bank and the tiled Ribeira on the north. Beyond the postcard, the city runs on IT outsourcing and software centres, design and architecture studios, furniture and textile exporters and the port of Leixões. Rua de Santa Catarina and Rua das Flores carry independent retail, while Matosinhos is known for seafood restaurants and logistics. Many firms export to Spain, France and the UK, so multilingual sites matter. We build websites, online shops, portals and mobile apps for Porto businesses, delivered remotely with regular video calls on WET/WEST time.

Why Porto companies choose Globalsoft
- Delivery is remote by design, with video calls scheduled in WET/WEST (UTC+0/+1) so nobody in Porto has to leave the office.
- Pricing is fixed in EUR and shown without VAT, so finance teams in Porto can plan; you pay by cards, MB WAY, Multibanco references, bank transfer or SEPA.
- Privacy is part of the build, not an afterthought: Portuguese data-protection law (Law 58/2019, alongside the GDPR) and the National Data Protection Commission (CNPD) shape how forms, accounts and logs are designed for Porto users.
- We have worked out what port-wine lodges, wine exporters and tasting rooms need in Porto, and we plan sprints around Baixa and Ribeira.
