Working with Dardo from Cairns

Dardo is a three-person design studio in Bogotá, Colombia, led by its founder, Nicolás Cerón. We work with companies in Cairns remotely: there is no Dardo office in Cairns. 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. Cairns is 15 hours ahead of Bogotá all year, so a nine-to-five day in Cairns shares 0 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.

How fast websites in Australia are on phones

In October 2026, 51.6% of the websites in Australia 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:

How fast websites in Australia are on phones
PlatformSites measuredPass on phones
Wix2,73086.2%
Shopify23,18377.7%
Framer24275.6%
Webflow1,86973.6%
Squarespace3,88353.4%
WordPress41,97651.5%

Speed comes from how a site is built more than from the platform. We build on Webflow, Framer, Astro and Next.js and check Core Web Vitals before launch. The platform speed report has the same numbers for other countries.

Rules a website in Cairns has to meet

These are the rules we plan around for sites that serve customers in Cairns. They are a starting point, not legal advice.

  • Accessibility: the Australian Human Rights Commission's advisory notes apply the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 to websites and point to WCAG. World Wide Web Access: DDA Advisory Notes
  • Privacy: the Privacy Act 1988 covers how most businesses handle personal information collected online. The Privacy Act

We build to WCAG 2.2 AA by default; web accessibility covers audits of existing sites.

What we build

Work you can check

Five projects from 2026, each with its published result:

  • Janus Observatory: Science / Interactive storytelling. −47.9% (3D models: 8.2 MB instead of 15.8 MB).
  • Hyper: AI / Customer intelligence. USD 10 (per customer research report on hypers.dev).
  • Gissi: Education / Music & arts. 34 → 416 (Google clicks: 3 months before, 9 days after relaunch).
  • superame.lol: Community / Digital products. 17 currencies (in Spanish, Portuguese and English).
  • Shiimain: Public data / Territorial intelligence. 4 days (to build, 27 to 30 May 2026).

None of these clients is in Cairns. They are the projects we can show, with their numbers.

Questions before you choose

Does Dardo have an office in Cairns?

No. Dardo is a three-person studio in Bogotá, Colombia, and works with companies in Cairns remotely, on video calls in English or Spanish.

What is the time difference between Cairns and Bogotá?

Cairns is 15 hours ahead of Bogotá all year. Bogotá keeps UTC−5 all year, so a nine-to-five day in Cairns shares 0 working hours with ours.

How does Dardo price a website project?

Per scope, in an itemized written proposal in US dollars, with no minimum budget. Hosting, domains, CMS plans and licences are separate lines at each provider's own price, in your company's name.

Who owns the website when it is finished?

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