About
Design with intent. Code with precision.
ATS Studio is a digital design and development studio created by Alexandre Terras Simões in Guarda. We work with entrepreneurs, local businesses and teams looking for more than a website — they are looking for a clear, consistent digital presence prepared to evolve.
Every project starts with a direct conversation. We define goals, structure the experience and develop fast, functional solutions that are easy to maintain.
Small by choice. Close to the client by principle.
