Working with Dardo from Austin
Dardo is a three-person design studio in Bogotá, Colombia, led by its founder, Nicolás Cerón. We work with companies in Austin remotely: there is no Dardo office in Austin. 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. Austin is 1 hour behind Bogotá in January and on the same clock as Bogotá in July, so a nine-to-five day in Austin shares 7–8 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 typically come in at about half of what comparable US and Canadian studios charge for the same scope. Pricing explains how a quote is built.
What a SaaS website project includes
It covers the pages that sell the product and the handoff into it; the product's own screens are a separate scope, and your proposal lists what is included.
- Positioning and a homepage narrative built from what customers say the product replaces
- A pricing page: plans, monthly and annual billing, limits, a billing FAQ and a route to sales
- A product tour: a scroll-driven story, an interactive walkthrough or a captioned demo video
- Signup, trial and demo-request flows, with events agreed with your product team
- CMS templates for integration, comparison and changelog pages
- Development, launch checks and every account handed over in your name
The SaaS website design service page has the full scope, the process and the questions buyers ask.
How fast websites in the United States are on phones
In October 2026, 63.9% of the websites in the United States 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 | 34,241 | 88.8% |
| Shopify | 118,272 | 86.1% |
| Squarespace | 40,344 | 82.9% |
| Framer | 1,909 | 82.2% |
| Webflow | 15,239 | 80.9% |
| WordPress | 330,180 | 63.3% |
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 Austin?
No. Dardo is a three-person studio in Bogotá, Colombia, and works with companies in Austin remotely, on video calls, in English or Spanish.
What is the time difference between Austin and Bogotá?
Austin is 1 hour behind Bogotá in January and on the same clock as Bogotá in July. Bogotá keeps UTC−5 all year, so a nine-to-five day in Austin shares 7–8 working hours with ours.
How much does SaaS website design cost with Dardo?
Each project is quoted by scope in an itemized written proposal in US dollars, with no minimum budget.
What is the difference between a SaaS website and a SaaS web app?
The website is the marketing site that sells the product: homepage, pricing, product tour, integrations and the path into a trial or demo, edited by marketing and meant to be found in search. The web app is the product people log into, built and released by the product team and mostly kept out of search. This service covers the website and the handoff into the app.
What makes a SaaS website convert?
A first screen that says what the product replaces and who it's for, a pricing page that shows each plan's cost and limits, a product tour of the first task a new user completes, and a main action that matches how you sell: a signup for self-serve products, a demo for sales-led ones. In the B2B sites we read in October 2026, every one that published prices also offered self-serve signup.
