About
A web studio in Arizona, for the businesses around it.
mi·ra·dor /mee-rah-DOR/
Spanish · noun
A lookout. A place built for the view.
Mirador designs and builds custom websites for small businesses: salons, restaurants, shops, clinics, home services, anyone whose customers look them up on a phone before they call or book.
We work in English, Português and Español, and we're happy to meet you in person.
Why “Mirador”
In Spanish, a mirador is a lookout (a mirante, in Portuguese): the spot people climb to for the view. For most businesses today, that spot is a phone screen. It's where customers get their first look at you, and decide whether to get in touch.
We build that view, so the first look is a good one, and calling or booking you is one tap away.
How we work
No hand-offs
You talk straight to the people who design and build your site. No account managers, no ticket system.
Plain words
We explain what we're doing and why, without the jargon, and you always know what happens next.
Phones first
Every page is designed for a phone before a laptop, because that's where your customers are.
The founder
João Carlos
Founder & lead developer
I've been building websites for 3+ years, and I still really enjoy it.
I started Mirador because of the businesses I walk past every day: the barbershop, the taquería, the salon that's been there for years. A lot of them are better than their websites. I like closing that gap, so the site a customer finds on their phone feels as good as walking through the door.
