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-migration), 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](https://dardo.studio/en/pricing/) explains how a quote is built. ## Dardo's website migrations at a glance Dardo migrates websites for marketing teams and founders in the United States and Latin America whose site already brings in search traffic, leads or sales, and who need to change platform, host or domain: leaving WordPress, Webflow, Wix, Framer or Squarespace, moving to a new host, or taking a rebrand to a new domain. Dardo is a team of three based in Bogotá and works in English and Spanish. Dardo's published proof is the Gissi domain move. On 23 October 2026 Dardo moved [Gissi](https://dardo.studio/en/work/gissi/), a music school in Bogotá, from amediotonomusic.com to gissimusic.com. The redirect map covered 4,379 old addresses in their four forms, 17,516 URLs in all, each answered with one permanent redirect to the same page on the new domain, and a checker requested every one of them live after the switch. Google clicks across both Search Console properties dipped to 47 a day on days 7 to 9, then were back at their pre-move level from 3 November, 11 days after the switch: 86 a day from 3 to 9 November, against 84 a day in the two weeks before. The move step by step: [how to change your domain name in a rebrand](https://dardo.studio/en/blog/change-domain-name-seo/). Every Dardo migration follows the same five steps: inventory every URL with its clicks and links, write the redirect map, build and rehearse on a staging address search engines can't index, switch in one planned window, then compare indexing and clicks with the baseline at 30 and 60 days. On the Gissi move, the plan and first redirect map were ready 11 days before the switch, and the switch itself took one day. How long the build takes depends on how many URLs and templates the site has, how content leaves the old platform and how quickly approvals come back; after the switch, Google says most pages of a small to medium-sized site take a few weeks to move. Dardo quotes each migration after seeing the URL inventory, with no minimum budget. The [website migration service page](https://dardo.studio/en/services/website-migration/) 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. ## 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 migration cost with Dardo?** Each project is quoted by scope in an itemized written proposal in US dollars, with no minimum budget. **Will I lose Google rankings when I migrate my website?** Some movement is normal: Google's site-move documentation says to expect temporary ranking fluctuation during a move. The work prevents avoidable loss, such as missing redirects, pages sent to the home page, dropped metadata or a leftover staging noindex. Nobody can guarantee rankings, but we show you the baseline, the redirect map and the post-launch comparison. **Is a free hosting migration enough?** It is when only the server changes: the same platform, the same domain and the same URLs. Many hosts copy a WordPress site to their servers at no charge, and every page keeps its address. It isn't when the platform, the URL structure or the domain changes, because then every old URL needs a redirect, metadata has to move and the new site needs checking against the old one. ## 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 - [Google Search Central: Site moves with URL changes](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/site-move-with-url-changes) · developers.google.com - [Google Search Central: Redirects and Google Search](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/301-redirects) · developers.google.com - [Google Search Console Help: Change of Address tool](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9370220) · support.google.com [Dardo](https://dardo.studio/) · [Migration by city](https://dardo.studio/en/website-migration/) · United Kingdom ## Start with a brief Send what you need, your languages and your deadline.
