The humble beginnings

Pixelmatters is incorporated as an official entity. This all started when
we closed a big enough project to “justify” opening a company. Oh, and our office was a desk at the Founder’s house.

Hold up. We now have a logo and a website?

Hello... world?

Our first Hello to the world. An important step for our digital presence that expanded our reach over the years. That, and a deliciously killer headline.

A screenshot of the first Pixelmatters website. The website is very sparse and says: 'We create exceptional web and mobile experiences. That's the reason why we haven't found time to build a proper site yet.'

At the heart of Porto

We move into our very first proper office – and it's not in any of our homes! – right in the North's most iconic address: Avenida dos Aliados.

... and we grew!

Growing team, bigger office, same address. And with a disco below our floor. Yes, it was a terrible idea.
