The person behind ovrick
I worked in hospitality before I built websites.
Long shifts, thin margins, customers who can tell when something is off. Hospitality teaches you what actually matters on a small business's website: speed, honesty, getting out of the customer's way. Most websites do the opposite.
I trained as a developer, then spent four years selling technology to people who were not technical. I built ovrick to do for small businesses what I wish someone had done for the places I used to work in. Every client gets their own design, never an off-the-shelf theme in a different colour. You get a landing page in 72 hours and a full site in a week, with no agency layers between you and the person writing your code.
You email me, I read it. Something breaks, I fix it. That's the whole model.

How I got here.
Trained as a developer, four years away from it, and back to building since 2026. The dates first, then the part the dates do not explain.
The technical line.
- 2014 – 2017Programming and management of computer systemsThree years of it, in Portugal. Where the structure and the logic come from.
- 2017Web development internWorked on client sites in the company's own framework and built a complete website end to end as my final project.
- 2019 – 2021IT consultantBuilt and maintained web applications on the OutSystems platform, next to senior developers, on real client work.
- 2020OutSystems 11 Associate Web DeveloperCertified, plus the Core Ramp Up track.
- 2026Indica Online, founder and developerMy own product. A live directory with a database, accounts and an owner-claim flow. More on it below.
- 2026ovrick, founder and developerSix live template demos, each on its own domain. I write the packages, the code and the outreach.
And the years that are not on it
- Four years selling technologyExplaining a product, all day, to someone who does not care what is inside it. It is the reason I can talk to a shop owner without hiding behind vocabulary.
- A year in logisticsFixed cut-off times, where a missed load is a missed departure. It is the reason a deadline means something to me.
- Everything on this domainThe six template demos and the directory below. I designed, wrote and deployed all of it myself.
I will not tell you I am a ten‑year veteran. I will tell you that every site I have put online is live, fast, and built by the person you will be emailing.
What I can build.
No page builder, no theme bought from a marketplace. Your site is code, and you own it.
- 01
The site itself
Written for your business, not assembled from a theme somebody else bought. Fast on a phone first, clear on a laptop, and built so a page can be added next year without starting over.
- 02
When it needs more than pages
Some businesses need accounts, listings or bookings that manage themselves. I build that too, with an admin only you can reach and one customer's details never visible to another.
- 03
Proving it works
Every page is checked automatically in real browsers before it ships, so a change in one place cannot quietly break another. Every site gets a security review before it goes live.
- 04
Live, and kept live
Domain, certificate, backups and an uptime check from day one, plus the mail records and the European cookie and privacy side. One person to call when something looks wrong.
More than a website.
Some businesses need a product, not a page. A database, accounts, listings that manage themselves. Here is the first.
Indica Online
In progressA searchable directory of Brazilian and Portuguese businesses across Belgium. Owners claim and manage their own listing; visitors find places by city and category.DatabaseBusiness registrationSearch by cityModerationVisit indicaonline.euNobody briefed it and nobody paid for it
- What I built
- The database, the search, the owner sign-up, the moderation queue and the admin behind it
- What I did besides building
- Found the businesses, contacted the owners cold, wrote every listing, ran the SEO
- Live now
- Listings across four Belgian cities, at indicaonline.eu
- Built and waiting
- An expansion into the Netherlands
It is the clearest answer I can give to what happens when a project needs more than pages.
