Working with Dardo from Doha
Dardo is a three-person design studio in Bogotá, Colombia, led by its founder, Nicolás Cerón. We work with companies in Doha remotely: there is no Dardo office in Doha. 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. Doha is 8 hours ahead of Bogotá all year, so our office hours barely meet: 9 a.m. in Doha is 1 a.m. in Bogotá. Calls go at the end of your day, which is the start of ours, and everything else is in writing.
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 Qatar are on phones
In October 2026, 38.9% of the websites in Qatar 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 | 76 | 55.3% |
| Shopify | 601 | 50.7% |
| WordPress | 4,084 | 45.9% |
| Webflow | 92 | 30.4% |
| Framer | 28 | 28.6% |
| Squarespace | 13 | 7.7% |
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.
What we build
- Website design and redesigns for companies launching or relaunching a site
- Builds on Webflow, Framer, Astro and Next.js
- Migrations between platforms, with a redirect plan URL by URL
- Interactive 3D websites and 3D product configurators
- Brand identity
- Technical SEO and AI search optimization
- Website maintenance from USD 79 a month
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 Doha. They are the projects we can show, with their numbers.
