About us
Gabriela and Marco Villalva
Two siblings, two crafts that complete each other.
Gabriela designs and builds websites and web apps; Marco builds the systems and automations that keep them running on their own. Independent professionals, they work together when a project needs both skill sets.

From design to code
Gabriela Villalva is a developer and digital designer.
She started with design: at the Accademia delle Professioni in Padua she studied Web & Graphic Design. There she learned the foundations of the web with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, how to build websites with WordPress and how to design experiences and interfaces (UX/UI) in Figma.
Designing a website, though, wasn't enough for her. She wanted to understand what happens behind an interface and be able to build it. So she moved into web development: frontend, backend, databases and APIs. Then, through dedicated courses, into artificial intelligence and automation.
Villalva Digital Studio grew out of that path. Today Gabriela designs and builds custom websites, web apps and digital tools and, when it helps, connects them to automations and AI systems that save time.
“The person who designs your website is the same person who builds it and makes it work.”

Marco Villalva
Backend developer · Marketizzati
From code to systems
Marco Antonio Villalva is a backend developer.
He started young, building websites with WordPress. The more he built, the more he wanted to understand what sits behind an interface: how it works and how it's made.
That curiosity turned into a technical path. He taught himself programming, with dedicated JavaScript training, and put what he learned straight into real projects.
Then he focused on the backend: application logic, databases, APIs, authentication, integrations and automation, up to complex applications and digital systems.
Alongside this he studied artificial intelligence applied to development and business processes, and digital strategy, earning the Traffic Master Certified certification from Florida Global University.
Marketizzati grew out of that path. He works with Villalva Digital Studio when a project needs a solid backend, automation or AI: Gabriela looks after interface, design and development, Marco after the logic and systems behind them.
“Understand the problem, design the logic that solves it and turn it into a system that works.”
Marco Villalva, Backend developerHow we work
Four commitments, on every project
Gabriela looks after interface, design and development; Marco after backend, automation and integrations. Depending on the project you talk to one of them or to both.
You always talk to the people building your project
No middlemen and no hand-offs: whoever answers you is whoever works on it.
Code written from scratch, no ready-made themes
Every website is built around your business, with nothing unnecessary weighing it down.
A clear quote before we start
You know what the work includes before it begins, with no surprise items.
Your website stays yours: code, domain and access
You get everything you need to run it, even if one day you choose another provider.
