Working with Dardo from Fredericton
Dardo is a three-person design studio in Bogotá, Colombia, led by its founder, Nicolás Cerón. We work with companies in Fredericton remotely: there is no Dardo office in Fredericton. 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. Fredericton is 1 hour ahead of Bogotá in January and 2 hours ahead of Bogotá in July, so a nine-to-five day in Fredericton shares 6–7 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.
How fast websites in Canada are on phones
In October 2026, 68% of the websites in Canada 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 | 5,472 | 92.2% |
| Shopify | 25,066 | 87.8% |
| Squarespace | 4,600 | 87.5% |
| Framer | 387 | 85.8% |
| Webflow | 2,850 | 81.1% |
| WordPress | 64,660 | 67.7% |
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.
