Website maintenance in Miami

Working with Dardo from Miami

Dardo is a three-person design studio in Bogotá, Colombia, led by its founder, Nicolás Cerón. We work with companies in Miami remotely: there is no Dardo office in Miami. 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. Miami is on the same clock as Bogotá in January and 1 hour ahead of Bogotá in July, so a nine-to-five day in Miami shares 7–8 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.

Published starting prices: Website maintenance plan from USD 79 a month. Anything beyond that is quoted by scope, with no minimum budget. Pricing explains how a quote is built.

What do website maintenance services include?

A maintenance plan covers the parts of a website that fail without warning, plus the support to fix and improve it. Every plan includes monitoring and backups; the higher tiers add tested updates and change hours. The proposal marks what your plan covers, adjusted to the platform:

• Uptime of the home page and the pages that bring inquiries, checked from outside your hosting
• SSL certificates on every domain and subdomain, domain expiry and DNS records, including the ones email depends on
• Form delivery: a scheduled test submission confirms inquiries still reach the inbox or CRM
• Updates to the CMS, plugins, themes, apps and code dependencies, tested on a staging copy before production
• Off-site backups, with a restore tested on a schedule
• Security headers, vulnerability scans and a review of who has admin access
• Performance after each release, so a heavy image or script is caught the same week
• Small content and design changes within the plan's hours: text, images, a page from an existing template, links and redirects

The website maintenance service page has the full scope, the process and the questions buyers ask.

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. The platform behind a site moves that number:

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.

Rules a website in Miami has to meet

These are the rules we plan around for sites that serve customers in Miami. 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.
• 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.

We build to WCAG 2.2 AA and set up consent and forms for these rules from the first brief.
