Working with Dardo from the United Kingdom
Dardo is a three-person design studio in Bogotá, Colombia, led by its founder, Nicolás Cerón. We work with companies in the United Kingdom remotely: there is no Dardo office in the United Kingdom. Calls happen on video, in English or Spanish, and everything we agree goes into a written proposal.
Bogotá keeps UTC−5 all year, with no daylight saving time. London is 5 hours ahead of Bogotá in January and 6 hours ahead of Bogotá in July, so a nine-to-five day in London shares 2–3 working hours with a nine-to-five day in Bogotá.
A project starts with a brief through the contact form, by email to hello@dardo.studio or on WhatsApp. Nicolás replies within one business day with the questions that set the scope. The proposal that follows lists the scope, deliverables, assumptions, exclusions, payment stages, a timeline and the people doing the work, by name.
Quotes are in US dollars, per scope, with no minimum budget. Pricing explains how a quote is built.
What our Next.js development includes
A Next.js project with Dardo covers the build and the decisions that set its speed and running cost later. The proposal lists which of these are in scope and how each one is accepted.
- A route inventory marking each route as static, cached or rendered on every request
- An App Router build in TypeScript, with Server Components by default and browser code only where the interface needs it
- Caching rules, including what refreshes when your team publishes content
- Permission checks in the server code that reads the data, with tests that try to get around them
- Hosting on Vercel, Cloudflare Workers or a Node.js server, with preview deployments and a monthly cost estimate
- JavaScript budgets, error monitoring and analytics events checked before launch
The Next.js development service page has the full scope, the process and the questions buyers ask.
How fast websites in the United Kingdom are on phones
In October 2026, 68.1% of the websites in the United Kingdom measured by Chrome's user experience report passed all three Core Web Vitals on phones, according to the HTTP Archive. The platform behind a site moves that number:
| Platform | Sites measured | Pass on phones |
|---|---|---|
| Wix | 10,901 | 90.9% |
| Squarespace | 7,460 | 85.2% |
| Shopify | 39,489 | 84.4% |
| Webflow | 3,792 | 80.1% |
| Framer | 593 | 77.6% |
| WordPress | 107,418 | 67.2% |
Speed comes from how a site is built more than from the platform, and Google uses Core Web Vitals in search. The platform speed report has the same numbers for other countries.

Questions before you choose
Does Dardo have an office in the United Kingdom?
No. Dardo is a three-person studio in Bogotá, Colombia, and works with companies in the United Kingdom remotely, on video calls, in English or Spanish.
How much does Next.js development cost with Dardo?
Each project is quoted by scope in an itemized written proposal in US dollars, with no minimum budget.
Should we hire a Next.js developer or a studio?
Hire a developer when someone in-house owns product decisions, design and code review, and the work is mostly building to a clear spec. A studio fits when design, build, hosting and launch need deciding together. Dardo is a founder-led team of three, so you talk directly with the people designing and building; for a large team on a long enterprise program, a bigger agency may suit you better.
How long does a Next.js project take, and what do you need from us?
It depends on how many routes need sign-in or live data, the integrations and how quickly content and decisions arrive, so the proposal sets a timeline after scoping. The first milestone is a thin working slice on a preview deployment. To scope it we need your route list, who signs in, the systems to connect and access to any existing repository and hosting.
