ONEZ • world’s best web developer…

ONEZ.COM is a site of José, the World’s best web developer… at least that’s what my mom says!

Onez is meant to be my personal blog for light talks on various topics, all connected to my passion for web development and learning… But why? I’ve always heard that talking about ourselves feels good and makes us happy, so I decided to find out why. I found a scientific study on why talking about ourselves feels good and makes us happy.

This is my way of keeping R&D for my personal learning—through practice writing while having fun… keeping my thoughts organized, inspiring curiosity about new subjects, building new functions for web projects, and helping people by sharing my experiences…
It also lets me save some of my photographic memories while writing personal stories about great moments shared with others.

I like writing, so I will write. I’m open to feedback, so I listen to it. And because not everyone can reach me, not everyone gets to talk to me

Why ONEZ as a brand?

As a normal human, the world revolves around me! That said, I consider myself as One. Because my name is José, and I’m Portuguese, my name becomes Zé as a short version of José. As my passion and hobby is developing websites and creating profitable businesses through it, I started investing in domains. As domains have a value, depending on several factors like keywords, size, memorability, brandability, ease of pronunciation, and more, I got into a search for the best brand that could suit all these factors…
ONEZ, the number ONE website of Zé!

Onez.com is my personal blog, my personal website, and my social network… because I love my friends. I don’t use Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok to connect with them; I hang out with them personally. So I will start writing my thoughts here from now on, after 46 years of existence.

What we do at Onez?

We do what every company needs… we help companies achieve better results!

“- Yeah, yeah, yeah… that’s what everyone says. It’s so vague, it’s like claiming you’re the world’s best web developer!”

How do we achive those companies Better Result?

With passion for our work…We love web development, from domaining to code, copywriting, photography, usability, marketing and human behavior. We read, we write, and we execute!

- We analyze data from several sources, internal and external. This allows us to understand the basics about the company—who the competitors are, what market they are targeting, what is missing from their perspective, and what small details can be fine-tuned to achieve big differences.
- We create professional websites using WordPress. Although we can build custom websites, we generally don’t recommend it based on experience. Custom websites require a larger development team, a project manager to oversee the process, and someone who thoroughly understands the entire website structure. This demands a well-thought-out initial architecture plan to minimize implementation time. WordPress, on the other hand, is faster to implement, requires fewer developers, is highly customizable, and, above all, it is scalable—meeting the needs of a successful small to medium startup company as well as larger companies with more complex requirements, all while allowing them to focus on their services and profitability.
- We know how to create a good and personalized Google Ads campaign, making the best use of customized advertising for the potential market that doesn’t yet know they will be your clients. Using Google’s most advanced data, we target dedicated clients for your business, maximizing the return on your investment.
- We use old school Search Engine Optimization to make your information accessible to search engines, AI bots, and most importantly, humans who need your services and are about to convert. Just to clarify, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is often vague, just like marketing. There are countless interpretations of what it means, but after a brief discussion, we can definitely reach a common understanding of how it can help your company grow.
- and Marketing, the art of connecting problems with solutions by bridging the gap between customers and the products, services, or people they need.
- Ah, almost forgot to mention… we also run a luxury real estate agency in Portugal, helping investors and foreigners who want to buy property in the country.

Which successful websites have we created?

Over the years, we’ve created several lead-generating websites. In the 2000s, we launched different online shops selling toys, bikinis, and home decoration products. In 2008, we founded a web development company, which we sold in 2009. After that, we developed clinicaveterinaria.pt, created a financial website for investors looking to buy properties in Portugal, and built a real estate website for a client in Quinta do Lago. In 2012, I founded algarverealestate.com. In 2015, we launched lisbonproperty.com. With domain investing along the way, website development, and projects sold, we are now a team accepting a limited number of new projects (if they show potential).

Which not successful websites have we created?

Hummm… for every successful project we work on, there’s a lot of research and testing involved. And when I say a lot, I mean it costs time and money. Even when we get things right, there are still times when we make mistakes and take the wrong path. From 2012 to 2015, things went well—we grew quickly from nothing to a solid business, which isn’t easy in Portugal’s economy. (I have to admit, having an exact match domain helped a little, along with a good website and an exceptional team of people.)

But in 2015, I made an overly ambitious decision—to replace our customized CMS with a fully custom-built solution that was supposed to be “better than a rocket” (or so I thought). So, for three years, we architected, designed, re-architected, redesigned, developed, and launched… Instead of growing, from 2017 to 2020, we went the opposite way. We didn’t grow—we shrank. That “small big mistake” took us over three years to fix, but in the end, it made us stronger.

So, after all this talk, what’s ONEZ’s best recipe?

The ONEZ team has developed, and continues to develop, websites designed to attract organic visitors. These visitors naturally convert into leads because they like what they see. After that, it’s up to you to turn them into clients… and some, into friends! Our websites generate more organic traffic than the average. On top of that, we also know how to design highly-targeted advertising strategies on search engines.

Do accept all as clients?

Unfortunately, no. Because we’re human, we have limited time to apply our craft. So, we only work with what we call “Win-Win clients“—clients who need a hand to help, not someone to scrub their back!

How about partnerships, is ONEZ into?

That’s more our style—teaming up with the right people to create cool projects. Right now, we’re partnering with a talented young entrepreneur who’s showing a lot of potential with imobiliariasportugal.com and newprivatejet.com.

FAQ, one question at a time… you!

Are you going to write about the books you read?

Yes, for sure… that’s something I have in mind for the blog section… I already have personal notes taken from the books I consider useful. So, short personal opinions will definitely be a topic… next question, please!

How about interviews, have you thought about that…?

Interviews… yes. I already have some interesting people in mind. Still don’t know what format to apply to it, but whether video or written, some interesting information will pop up… more questions?

Will you talk about your personal life?

Uhmmm, like lifestyle or feeding gossip?!… I don’t think so. I can talk about neuromarketing, how I love taking pictures, and practicing sports, maybe even one “about me” page, but that’s it… personal, personal, social media pink stuff… I don’t do that! One last question… Anyone?

How did you get into web development?

Because in the 80s, my hobbies involved playing with BASIC, and then, in 1995, as a teenager, I began experimenting with building websites using HTML when I got home from surfing… or when I got tired of looking at Jennifer Aniston’s 1995 “artistic” photos on the internet!

Are you married?

🙂 Yes… same girl for more than 20 years… since 2003. My best friend, along with my son!

… Just one more question… Do you accept Bitcoin?

Uhm, nice question… My opinion on the new trend shifting the foundations of the traditional economic system… we’ll talk about that in detail in the next sections. I have a big surprise for you guys on this subject… maybe ONEZ can bring in a Bitcoin-experienced friend to talk about it in the near future…

Anyhow, I will for sure write about something I, in my opinion, consider more powerful than Bitcoin, money, gold, real estate, or any other modern forms of power. I will talk about true knowledge, and how it can empower us, allowing us to achieve whatever luxury investment we desire.

Now, if that’s all from you, I’d like to thank you all for this moment. Hope to see you soon! Next time, bring your friends too, we’d love to meet them!

Is this the end?
