How we can help

We design, build and improve digital systems for small teams who need things to just work.

Bespoke Web Systems and Websites

We build custom systems that fit your business like a glove - customer portals, internal tools, e-commerce platforms, and websites that do more than just look good. No bloated CMSs. No features you'll never use. Just exactly what you need, built to last.

Consultancy & Sparring

Stuck at a digital crossroads? We'll help you figure out the right path forward. Platform evaluations, rebuild strategies, honest assessments of your current setup. No vendor kickbacks. No pushing our preferred tools. Just straight talk about what makes sense for your business and budget.

SEO, Performance & UX Audit

Site not pulling its weight? We'll show you exactly why - and how to fix it. Speed bottlenecks, search visibility issues, UX friction points. No 200-page reports you'll never read. No vague recommendations. Just a prioritised action plan you can actually implement, whether you do it yourself or hire us.

We've been powering PortugalProperty.com since 2009 and My-French-House.com since 2003 - and they're still with us today. Add international schools and cultural platforms to the mix, and you've got proof that when digital really matters, clients stick with Dual.

About us

We're Jim and Michael - a Brit and a Dane who've been building for the web since dial-up. Two decades later, we're still hands-on, curious, and proud to keep clients like My-French-House.com (since 2003) and PortugalProperty.com (since 2009) running strong. We don't just launch projects — we stay with them for the long haul.

How we work

We've honed a process that works: clear conversations, transparent plans, reliable delivery, and long-term support. No drama, just systems that keep running.

1

Discovery

We listen, ask questions, and get to the heart of what you need. This stage is about clarity, not tech talk - making sure we fully understand your goals before we write a single line of code.

2

Proposal

A clear plan and pricing. No vague estimates. You'll get a straightforward plan, transparent costs, and a clear picture of how we'll get from A to B.

3

Build

We build what we promised. No scope creep, no surprises - just regular updates and a system that works exactly as agreed.

4

Support

We don't vanish at launch. Some of our clients have been with us for 15+ years, because we keep their systems evolving. Think of us as your long-term tech partner - fixing issues fast, adding new features, and making sure your system stays sharp as your business grows.
