What Dardo builds

Results from the case studies

  • Gissi, a music school in Bogotá: 34 Google clicks from 30 June to 29 September 2026, then 416 from 1 to 9 October 2026, after its move to Cloudflare and launch in four languages.
  • Gissi's domain move on 23 October 2026: 17,516 old addresses, each answered with one permanent redirect to the same page on the new domain.
  • Janus Observatory, a project with Blue Marble Space built on a peer-reviewed paper by its researchers: 59 3D models ship at 8.2 MB instead of 15.8 MB, 47.9% less, on Cloudflare Workers' free plan.
  • Hyper: the scroll-driven 3D homepage and paid research flow for hypers.dev, which sells customer research at USD 10 a report.
  • Superame: a public project ranking in Spanish, Portuguese and English with 17 display currencies, plus a 28.8-second launch commercial made in code at 60 frames per second.
  • Shiimain: a public-data demo for La Guajira, Colombia, built in four days, 27 to 30 May 2026.

Who Dardo works with

  • Fields in the case studies: science and research, AI and customer intelligence, music education, online communities and public data.
  • Companies launching or relaunching a website, and SaaS and B2B marketing teams.
  • Agencies that need a white-label build partner.
  • Makers of configurable products that need a custom 3D configurator.

When Dardo isn't the right fit

  • A standard site for a few thousand dollars or less: a template or site builder serves it better.
  • Online stores, mobile apps, web apps and client portals: Dardo doesn't build them.
  • Paid ads and social media management: Dardo doesn't offer them.
  • Dozens of articles a month: a content agency fits better.

Prices

  • Website, 3D and brand projects are quoted per scope, in an itemized written proposal in US dollars. There is no minimum budget, and Dardo publishes no starting price for website projects. How projects are priced
  • Dardo's quotes typically come in at about half of what comparable US and Canadian studios charge for the same scope.
  • Website maintenance: from USD 79 a month.
  • Monthly SEO with reporting, or AI visibility tracking: from USD 299 a month.

  • Your company owns the code, the designs and every account: hosting, domain, DNS, CMS, analytics and repository. Security and ownership
