Working with Dardo from Nottingham
Dardo is a three-person design studio in Bogotá, Colombia, led by its founder, Nicolás Cerón. We work with companies in Nottingham remotely: there is no Dardo office in Nottingham. 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. Nottingham is 5 hours ahead of Bogotá in January and 6 hours ahead of Bogotá in July, so a nine-to-five day in Nottingham 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 UI/UX design for a marketing website includes
The work covers every decision between a visitor's first second on the site and the action you want them to take. We shape the scope around your brief, and the proposal says which of these deliverables are included and how each one is approved.
- Research summary: analytics, search queries, sales and support questions, competitor sites
- Sitemap, navigation and a list of page templates
- Content-first wireframes for each template, with real headlines instead of placeholder text
- Interface design for desktop and mobile, with every state of each component
- A design system in Figma whose components map to the CMS, so editors can build new pages
- A clickable prototype and the findings from usability tests
The UI/UX design service page has the full scope, the process and the questions buyers ask.
Rules a website in Nottingham has to meet
These are the rules we plan around for sites that serve customers in Nottingham. They are a starting point, not legal advice.
- Accessibility: the Equality Act 2010 requires service providers, websites included, to make reasonable adjustments for disabled people.
- Privacy: the UK GDPR applies to the personal data a website collects through forms, cookies and analytics.
We build to WCAG 2.2 AA and set up consent and forms for these rules from the first brief.

Questions before you choose
Does Dardo have an office in Nottingham?
No. Dardo is a three-person studio in Bogotá, Colombia, and works with companies in Nottingham remotely, on video calls, in English or Spanish.
What is the time difference between Nottingham and Bogotá?
Nottingham is 5 hours ahead of Bogotá in January and 6 hours ahead of Bogotá in July. Bogotá keeps UTC−5 all year, so a nine-to-five day in Nottingham shares 2–3 working hours with ours.
How much does UI/UX design cost with Dardo?
Each project is quoted by scope in an itemized written proposal in US dollars, with no minimum budget.
What do UI/UX design services for a marketing website include?
Research into who visits and what they need, a sitemap and navigation, wireframes for each page template, the visual interface for desktop and mobile, a design system and a clickable prototype tested with real users. When Dardo also builds the site, the same team turns the approved design into the live pages, so nothing is lost in a handoff.
How much does UI/UX design for a website cost?
Dardo quotes each project per scope in an itemized written proposal and has no minimum budget. The main cost drivers are the number of page templates, how much research and testing the project needs, the number of languages and whether Dardo also builds the site. Design alone costs less than design and build, but you then need a team to build it faithfully.
