We make digital things for the real world.
Czesnek is a design-led development studio with a tiny footprint and a surprisingly wide reach. Based in Porto, we work with teams across Europe on websites, apps, tools, and the occasional unexpected side project.

Studio Story

We started small – and stayed small on purpose. More flexibility, more focus, and less time stuck in meetings. Over the years, we’ve helped global brands, cultural institutions, NGOs, and growing teams do better digital work – without the bloat.
Why “Czesnek”? It’s hard to spell. But hard to forget. Just like the best projects.

Team & Culture

We’re a compact team of developers, designers, and thinkers who like clarity, code, and clients that give a damn. We work closely, communicate clearly, and take the work seriously (but not ourselves).

We collaborate directly – no account managers, no handoff theatre. When you message us, you’re talking to the people actually doing the work.

Working Philosophy

Design and development go hand in hand
Communication should be fast and honest
Small teams build better things faster
Good projects come from clear expectations
Accessibility and performance aren’t add-ons – they’re baked in

Client Experience

You’ll talk directly to the people building your product
You’ll get thoughtful scope discussions, not vague estimates
You’ll see things early, often, and in working form
You’ll always know where we’re at – and what’s next
