Two jobs at one desk
Design Plus Dev is a small studio in Castano Primo. The name is the whole idea: design and development sotto lo stesso tetto (under one roof). Deciding how the family page looks and generating it from your spreadsheet happen at the same desk, so nothing gets lost in a handoff between agencies.

Castano Primo, near the Ticino
Via Acerbi, 10. West of Milan, close to Legnano, Busto Arsizio, Magenta and Malpensa, which is roughly where the small manufacturers we'd most like to work for are. We work remotely just as well; most of a job happens over email and one call.
Tools
Figma for design. Astro and plain PHP for static sites and forms that run on ordinary shared hosting. WordPress, WooCommerce or Shopify when you need to edit things yourself or sell online. Git for every project.
Accounts for domains, hosting and shop platforms are registered to you. We're a user on them, and we leave when you tell us to.
On AI
We don't hand AI-generated logos or code to clients as finished work; AI tools may help us with drafts, research and checks. Ask if you want a project done without them.
Things we'll say no to
Spec work, or a free pitch before you've decided
Copying a competitor's site or logo
Promising rankings, sales or "conversion"
Holding your files or logins hostage
Ringing is fine
