Working with Dardo from Qatar
Dardo is a three-person design studio in Bogotá, Colombia, led by its founder, Nicolás Cerón. We work with companies in Qatar remotely: there is no Dardo office in Qatar. 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.
What our website development covers
Development can follow Dardo's own web design or start from designs supplied by your team or another studio. Either way, the proposal lists the templates, states and integrations being built, who supplies each input and how each part is accepted.
- Responsive frontend implementation of every agreed template and state
- Content model, CMS setup and publishing workflow
- Forms and agreed integrations, tested with real submissions
- Metadata, structured data and crawlable page structure
- Accessibility and performance checks on representative pages
- Launch checks, deployment and handover documentation
The web development service page has the full scope, the process and the questions buyers ask.
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, and Google uses Core Web Vitals in search. The platform speed report has the same numbers for other countries.

Questions before you choose
Does Dardo have an office in Qatar?
No. Dardo is a three-person studio in Bogotá, Colombia, and works with companies in Qatar remotely, on video calls, in English or Spanish.
How much does web development cost with Dardo?
Each project is quoted by scope in an itemized written proposal in US dollars, with no minimum budget.
How much does website development cost?
It depends on the work: the number of templates and states, content migration, CMS requirements, integrations, languages, accessibility, animation, testing and handover. We price the documented scope after reviewing those dependencies rather than using a universal per-page rate, and the proposal separates one-time build costs from recurring hosting and software fees.
What's the difference between web design and web development?
Web design decides what the site says, how it's organized and how it looks and behaves. Web development turns those decisions into working code: templates, content management, forms, integrations, performance and deployment. Many problems sit between the two, such as a layout that breaks with real content or a form with no error state, which is why Dardo keeps both in one team or reviews outside designs before building.
