01 / The studio
A small studio between two markets
Tanomedia is three senior specialists: one for design, one for code, one for strategy. There is no account manager in between and no junior layer that the real work gets handed to. The people you meet in the first call are the people who build your website.
The studio was founded in Düsseldorf in 2023, the company is registered in Pombal, Portugal, and the team works from Lisbon. That split is not an accident. Most of our clients sit in one of two countries, Germany and Portugal, and many of them want to reach the other one.
02 / The studio
The founder: Angelo
Angelo founded Tanomedia in 2023. He is German-Portuguese, speaks German and Portuguese as native languages and works in English every day. In practice that means a German company can brief us in German and get a Portuguese website that reads as if it was written in Lisbon, and a Portuguese company can sell to German customers without its site sounding translated.
It also means we know the small differences that decide whether a site feels trustworthy in each market: an Impressum and strict privacy expectations in Germany, MB WAY, Multibanco and the Livro de Reclamações in Portugal, and a different tone of voice in each. Our guide to multilingual websites and hreflang shows how we set this up technically.

How we work
Three rules that shape every project, whether it is a landing page or an online store.
Pixel perfect
Every detail has a job. Typography, spacing and motion are there to make the offer clearer, not to decorate it.
Human first
We build for the people who will use the site: on a phone, in a hurry, sometimes with a screen reader. Speed and accessibility are part of the brief, not extras.
Results driven
A website is measured by what it moves for the business: enquiries, bookings, sales. We agree on that goal before we design anything.
05 / The studio
Germany, Portugal and remote by default
We have worked remotely since day one. Calls, shared previews and fixed milestones replace the drive to an office, and you can watch every stage of the build live. For clients in North Rhine-Westphalia, meetings in person are possible by arrangement; see our page on web design in Düsseldorf. In Portugal, the team is based in Lisbon.
Before a project starts you get a fixed quote, a timeline and a clear list of what is included. If you are comparing studios, our article on how to choose a web design agency lists the questions we would ask ourselves.

Our own tools, our own rules
We run our studio on TANO CORE, a CRM and client portal we built ourselves and now offer to other agencies and service businesses. The analytics on this website run on our own server in Germany, without third-party trackers, and the data you send through the contact form is encrypted.
We are also a verified Hostinger partner. That is a business relationship, so we say it openly: we suggest Hostinger where it fits the project and other hosting where it does not.
FAQ
