We work with companies in the United Kingdom remotely: there is no Dardo office in the United Kingdom. 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. London is 5 hours ahead of Bogotá in January and 6 hours ahead of Bogotá in July, so a nine-to-five day in London shares 2–3 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=website-maintenance), 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](https://dardo.studio/en/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](https://dardo.studio/en/services/website-maintenance/) has the full scope, the process and the questions buyers ask. ## How fast websites in the United Kingdom are on phones In October 2026, 68.1% of the websites in the United Kingdom 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 Kingdom are on phones__ | Platform | Sites measured | Pass on phones | | ----------- | -------------- | -------------- | | Wix | 10,901 | 90.9% | | Squarespace | 7,460 | 85.2% | | Shopify | 39,489 | 84.4% | | Webflow | 3,792 | 80.1% | | Framer | 593 | 77.6% | | WordPress | 107,418 | 67.2% | 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](https://dardo.studio/en/tools/website-platform-speed-report/) has the same numbers for other countries. ## Rules a website in the United Kingdom has to meet These are the rules we plan around for sites that serve customers in the United Kingdom. They are a starting point, not legal advice. - **Accessibility:** the Equality Act 2010 requires service providers, websites included, to make reasonable adjustments for disabled people. - **Privacy:** the UK GDPR applies to the personal data a website collects through forms, cookies and analytics. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA and set up consent and forms for these rules from the first brief. ## Work you can check Projects from 2026, each with its published result: - [Janus Observatory](https://dardo.studio/en/work/janus-observatory/) (Science / Interactive storytelling, 2026). −47.9% 3D models: 8.2 MB instead of 15.8 MB. - [Hyper](https://dardo.studio/en/work/hyper/) (AI / Customer intelligence, 2026).

These are the projects we can show, with their numbers. ## Questions before you choose **Does Dardo have an office in the United Kingdom?** No. Dardo is a three-person studio in Bogotá, Colombia, and works with companies in the United Kingdom remotely, on video calls, in English or Spanish. **How much does website maintenance cost with Dardo?** Website maintenance plan from USD 79 a month. Each project is quoted by scope in an itemized written proposal in US dollars, with no minimum budget. **How much does a website maintenance plan cost?** Plans start at USD 79 a month for monitoring, tested updates, backups and a monthly report. The final price depends on the platform, the number of plugins and integrations, the change hours included and the response times you need: a static Astro site with one form costs less to maintain than a WordPress store with many plugins and a payment gateway. Dardo confirms each plan's price after the initial audit. **What is included in website maintenance?** Monitoring of uptime, SSL certificates, the domain and form delivery; updates tested on a staging copy; off-site backups with restore tests; security scans and an access review; small content and design changes; and a monthly report. Dardo's plan tiers differ in how many updates and change hours they include and how fast we respond. ## 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 - [Equality Act 2010, legislation.gov.uk](https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/15/contents) · legislation.gov.uk - [UK GDPR guidance and resources, ICO](https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/uk-gdpr-guidance-and-resources/) · ico.org.uk - [CA/Browser Forum: TLS Baseline Requirements (relevant dates)](https://cabforum.org/working-groups/server/baseline-requirements/requirements/) · cabforum.org - [CA/Browser Forum: Ballot SC-081v3, schedule of reducing validity periods](https://cabforum.org/2025/04/11/ballot-sc081v3-introduce-schedule-of-reducing-validity-and-data-reuse-periods/) · cabforum.org - [Patchstack: State of WordPress Security in 2026](https://patchstack.com/whitepaper/state-of-wordpress-security-in-2026/) · patchstack.com [Dardo](https://dardo.studio/) · [Maintenance by city](https://dardo.studio/en/website-maintenance/) · United Kingdom ## Start with a brief Send what you need, your languages and your deadline.
