By [Nicolás Cerón](https://dardo.studio/en/nicolas-ceron/) · Updated Nov 12, 2026 · 5 min read [Get a proposal](https://dardo.studio/en/contact/) ## Working with Dardo from Staten Island Dardo is a three-person design studio in Bogotá, Colombia, led by its founder, Nicolás Cerón. We work with companies in Staten Island remotely: there is no Dardo office in Staten Island. 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. Staten Island is on the same clock as Bogotá in January and 1 hour ahead of Bogotá in July, so a nine-to-five day in Staten Island shares 7–8 working hours with a nine-to-five day in Bogotá. A project starts with a brief through the [contact form](https://dardo.studio/en/contact/?service=web-design), 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](https://dardo.studio/en/pricing/) explains how a quote is built. ## What a website costs in the United States Published prices put a typical small business site in the United States at USD 5,000. We read the prices that providers publish (read on 8 November 2026) for our [website cost calculator](https://dardo.studio/en/tools/website-cost-calculator/#market=us); the typical price is the median, with each provider counted once. These are national figures: we found no reliable published prices for Staten Island alone. __What a website costs in the United States__ | Kind of site | Typical published price | Range | Providers | | -------------------------------------- | ----------------------- | ---------------------- | --------- | | Landing page | USD 3,000 | USD 300 – USD 8,000 | 9 | | Small business site (5–10 pages) | USD 5,000 | USD 699 – USD 10,000 | 13 | | Content site with a blog (10–30 pages) | USD 24,000 | USD 6,500 – USD 40,000 | 5 | | Online store (up to \~100 products) | USD 5,400 | USD 500 – USD 15,000 | 9 | | Custom-designed site with integrations | USD 9,950 | USD 3,000 – USD 90,000 | 6 | If a standard site for a few thousand dollars or less is what you need, a template or a site builder serves you better than a studio. Dardo publishes no starting price for website projects: each one is quoted by scope. ## 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](https://httparchive.org/reports/techreport/landing). The platform behind a site moves that number: __How fast websites in the United States are on phones__ | 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. We build on Webflow, Framer, Astro and Next.js and check Core Web Vitals before launch. The [platform speed report](https://dardo.studio/en/tools/website-platform-speed-report/) has the same numbers for other countries. ## Rules a website in Staten Island has to meet These are the rules we plan around for sites that serve customers in Staten Island. They are a starting point, not legal advice. - **The ADA and websites:** the Department of Justice says the Americans with Disabilities Act covers the websites of businesses open to the public, and points to WCAG as the reference. [Guidance on Web Accessibility and the ADA](https://www.ada.gov/resources/web-guidance/) - **State and local governments:** a 2024 DOJ rule requires WCAG 2.1 AA from state and local government websites, from April 2026 for larger governments and April 2027 for smaller ones. [Fact Sheet: New Rule on the Accessibility of Web Content and Mobile Apps](https://www.ada.gov/resources/2024-03-08-web-rule/) We build to WCAG 2.2 AA by default; [web accessibility](https://dardo.studio/en/services/web-accessibility/) covers audits of existing sites. ## What we build - [Website design](https://dardo.studio/en/services/web-design/) and [redesigns](https://dardo.studio/en/services/website-redesign/) for companies launching or relaunching a site - Builds on [Webflow](https://dardo.studio/en/services/webflow-development/), [Framer](https://dardo.studio/en/services/framer-development/), [Astro](https://dardo.studio/en/services/astro-development/) and [Next.js](https://dardo.studio/en/services/nextjs-development/) - [Migrations](https://dardo.studio/en/services/website-migration/) between platforms, with a redirect plan URL by URL - [Interactive 3D websites](https://dardo.studio/en/services/interactive-3d-websites/) and [3D product configurators](https://dardo.studio/en/services/3d-product-configurator/) - [Brand identity](https://dardo.studio/en/services/brand-creation/) - [Technical SEO](https://dardo.studio/en/services/seo/) and [AI search optimization](https://dardo.studio/en/services/ai-search-optimization/) - [Website maintenance](https://dardo.studio/en/services/website-maintenance/) from USD 79 a month ## Work you can check Five projects from 2026, each with its published result: - [Janus Observatory](https://dardo.studio/en/work/janus-observatory/): Science / Interactive storytelling. −47.9% (3D models: 8.2 MB instead of 15.8 MB). - [Hyper](https://dardo.studio/en/work/hyper/): AI / Customer intelligence. USD 10 (per customer research report on hypers.dev). - [Gissi](https://dardo.studio/en/work/gissi/): Education / Music & arts. 34 → 416 (Google clicks: 3 months before, 9 days after relaunch). - [superame.lol](https://dardo.studio/en/work/superame/): Community / Digital products. 17 currencies (in Spanish, Portuguese and English). - [Shiimain](https://dardo.studio/en/work/shiimain/): Public data / Territorial intelligence. 4 days (to build, 27 to 30 May 2026). None of these clients is in Staten Island. They are the projects we can show, with their numbers. ## Questions before you choose **Does Dardo have an office in Staten Island?** No. Dardo is a three-person studio in Bogotá, Colombia, and works with companies in Staten Island remotely, on video calls in English or Spanish. **What is the time difference between Staten Island and Bogotá?** Staten Island is on the same clock as Bogotá in January and 1 hour ahead of Bogotá in July. Bogotá keeps UTC−5 all year, so a nine-to-five day in Staten Island shares 7–8 working hours with ours. **How much does a website cost in Staten Island?** Providers in the United States publish a typical price of USD 5,000 for a small business site of 5–10 pages and USD 24,000 for a content site with a blog (read on 8 November 2026). Dardo quotes each project by scope, with no minimum budget. **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. ## Sources & further reading Sources behind this page, with further detail from the original publishers. - [HTTP Archive technology report (Core Web Vitals by platform and country)](https://httparchive.org/reports/techreport/landing) · httparchive.org - [Guidance on Web Accessibility and the ADA, ADA.gov](https://www.ada.gov/resources/web-guidance/) · ada.gov - [Fact Sheet: New Rule on the Accessibility of Web Content and Mobile Apps, ADA.gov](https://www.ada.gov/resources/2024-03-08-web-rule/) · ada.gov - [IANA time zone database](https://www.iana.org/time-zones) · iana.org ## Web design in nearby cities - [BrooklynNY](https://dardo.studio/en/web-design-agency/brooklyn/) - [Jersey CityNJ](https://dardo.studio/en/web-design-agency/jersey-city/) - [New YorkNY](https://dardo.studio/en/web-design-agency/new-york/) - [QueensNY](https://dardo.studio/en/web-design-agency/queens/) - [PhiladelphiaPA](https://dardo.studio/en/web-design-agency/philadelphia/) - [AllentownPA](https://dardo.studio/en/web-design-agency/allentown/) - [ScrantonPA](https://dardo.studio/en/web-design-agency/scranton/) - [HartfordCT](https://dardo.studio/en/web-design-agency/hartford/) - [York, PennsylvaniaPA](https://dardo.studio/en/web-design-agency/york-pa/) - [HarrisburgPA](https://dardo.studio/en/web-design-agency/harrisburg/) - [AlbanyNY](https://dardo.studio/en/web-design-agency/albany/) - [BaltimoreMD](https://dardo.studio/en/web-design-agency/baltimore/) [Web design agency in the United States](https://dardo.studio/en/web-design-agency-usa/) · [All cities](https://dardo.studio/en/web-design-agency/) ## Other services in Staten Island - [SEO agency in Staten Island](https://dardo.studio/en/seo-agency-staten-island/) - [Web development in Staten Island](https://dardo.studio/en/web-development-staten-island/) [Dardo](https://dardo.studio/) · [Cities](https://dardo.studio/en/web-design-agency/) · Staten Island ## Start with a brief Send what the site needs to do, its pages, languages and deadline.
