Challenge
For individuals relocating to Portugal, managing local bureaucracy — from tax registration (NIF) to residency (NHR) — can feel overwhelming.
Porelo, a relocation support platform, set out to make this process effortless and trustworthy for global residents and digital nomads.
The challenge was to translate complex legal services into a simple, human, and conversion-focused web experience — one that inspires confidence while maintaining an approachable tone.
Our goal: to design a website that feels like a professional advisor, not a paperwork portal.
Solution
We crafted a cohesive digital identity and website experience that balanced credibility with warmth — combining editorial calm with product clarity.
Information Architecture — structured around key user intentions: Relocate, Get NIF, Apply NHR, and Learn. Each pathway was simplified for fast comprehension.
Visual System — watercolor-style cityscapes, warm backgrounds, and editorial whitespace evoke trust and calm while differentiating from typical “legal service” stiffness.
UI/UX Design — modular, card-based layouts and high-contrast typography optimized for multilingual users and mobile responsiveness.
Copy & Tone — friendly yet professional; each section guides visitors with clarity (“Secure your Portugal NIF effortlessly, online”) rather than heavy jargon.
Conversion & Credibility — integrated Trustpilot ratings, clear pricing tables, and guided steps (“Easy as 1, 2, 3”) to reduce uncertainty and drive bookings.
Blog Experience — designed a resource hub that positions Porelo as a reliable authority on local tax and residency insights, enhancing SEO and user education.
Results / Impact
The redesigned experience repositioned Porelo as a trusted digital partner for international relocations, not just a paperwork facilitator.
Improved Comprehension — clear visual hierarchy and micro-copy reduced drop-offs during NIF/NHR exploration flows.
Emotional Trust Through Design — watercolor illustrations and human-centered messaging improved perceived approachability.
Increased Conversions — simplified 3-step flow (“Order → Share Details → Sign POA”) led to higher service completion rates.
Content Authority — blog architecture established Porelo as an expert in Portuguese relocation policies and legal frameworks.
Cohesive Brand Language — unified tone, visuals, and CTAs across all service pages built a recognizable and reliable brand presence.
