For teams with a design file

Your designs are approved. Now they need to be built properly.

This is where a lot of good designs lose their quality: spacing drifts, layouts get improvised on mobile, the CMS ends up something only a developer can use. You need someone who builds what was designed, and makes it easy to run afterwards.

Who you'll be working with.

I'm Frederico Leonardo, a senior web designer and developer. You work directly with me. I've been turning designs into websites for 25+ years, for companies and for design agencies. I pay attention to the details designers care about, and to the ones editors will live with every day. If the designs are incomplete, I fill the gaps in the same system and tell you which screens I've added.

More about me

How I'll solve it.

  1. 01

    I review the designs first.

    Before quoting, I look for anything that will be expensive to build, hard to edit or fragile on real devices, and tell you early.

  2. 02

    I recommend the platform.

    Craft CMS when the content is structured, multilingual or heavy. Webflow when your team wants visual control and the content model is simple. Something else if the project needs it.

  3. 03

    I build it as designed.

    Responsive detail, motion, interactions, accessibility and performance.

  4. 04

    I hand it over properly.

    Editor training, a written handover and 30 days to correct defects after launch.

Proof

What clients asked for, and what they actually needed.

See all work

From the very first contact, it was clear we were dealing with someone different. Frederico's proactive attitude and constant availability gave us immediate confidence, and the technical expertise he demonstrated throughout the process left no room for doubt.

Price

What the build costs

A build from approved designs starts at €8k. Content-heavy platforms, migrations and custom integrations are quoted separately.

Send the designs and any notes on the CMS, interactions and launch requirements. I review what's defined, identify the gaps and give you a fixed quote for the build.

Pricing & Process

Agency or freelance designer?

If you're an agency or designer with a web project and no developer, I can build it white-label or alongside you. If you don't have a web designer either, I design it too, or recommend someone. Everything stays in your client's accounts.

FAQ

Answers before you get in touch.

Do you change the design?

Only if something won't work in practice, and I'll tell you before, not after.

What if the designs are incomplete?

I fill the gaps in the same system, and tell you which screens I've added. I design too, so nothing gets improvised.

Do you only accept Figma files?

No. Figma is the most common, but Sketch, Paper, Penpot or a PDF all work. The one thing I'd rather not receive is a Photoshop file: it tells me what the page looks like, not how it behaves.

Can you work with our designer?

Yes. That's often the best way to work.

Our content team isn't technical.

That's expected. The CMS is set up so they can publish and update without calling a developer.

How much?

From €8k. Send the designs and requirements, and I'll give you a fixed quote with the assumptions and exclusions written down.

Next step

Send me the designs.

A Figma link, a PDF or a prototype. I'll reply, usually within one working day, with questions and a sense of what it will take.
