Written proposals, no minimum budget. By [Nicolás Cerón](https://dardo.studio/en/nicolas-ceron/) · Updated Nov 15, 2026 · 4 min read [Get a proposal](https://dardo.studio/en/contact/) ## Working with Dardo from Cincinnati Dardo is a three-person design studio in Bogotá, Colombia, led by its founder, Nicolás Cerón. We work with companies in Cincinnati remotely: there is no Dardo office in Cincinnati. 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. Cincinnati is on the same clock as Bogotá in January and 1 hour ahead of Bogotá in July, so a nine-to-five day in Cincinnati 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=wordpress-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: WordPress 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 a WordPress maintenance plan covers A WordPress plan covers the parts of the site that WordPress itself leaves to you: the plugins and theme, the PHP version, the backups and the checks that catch a failure before visitors do. The proposal lists which of these are in your plan and how often each one runs. - Core, plugin and theme updates, tested on a staging copy before production, with a rollback point - PHP upgrades to a supported version, tested first on staging - A plugin review: unused and abandoned plugins removed or replaced - Security advisories tracked for every plugin and theme the site runs - Off-site backups of the database and files, with scheduled restore tests - Uptime, SSL certificate, domain and form monitoring with alerts - A monthly report with updates, incidents, Core Web Vitals and the work done The [WordPress maintenance service page](https://dardo.studio/en/services/wordpress-maintenance/) 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](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, 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). USD 10 per customer research report on hypers.dev. - [Gissi](https://dardo.studio/en/work/gissi/) (Education / Music & arts, 2026). 34 → 416 Google clicks: 3 months before, 9 days after relaunch. - [superame.lol](https://dardo.studio/en/work/superame/) (Community / Digital products, 2026). 17 currencies in Spanish, Portuguese and English. - [Shiimain](https://dardo.studio/en/work/shiimain/) (Public data / Territorial intelligence, 2026). 4 days to build, 27 to 30 May 2026. None of these clients is in Cincinnati. They are the projects we can show, with their numbers. ## Questions before you choose **Does Dardo have an office in Cincinnati?** No. Dardo is a three-person studio in Bogotá, Colombia, and works with companies in Cincinnati remotely, on video calls, in English or Spanish. **What is the time difference between Cincinnati and Bogotá?** Cincinnati 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 Cincinnati shares 7–8 working hours with ours. **How much does WordPress maintenance cost with Dardo?** WordPress 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 WordPress website maintenance cost?** Plans start at USD 79 a month for Monitor: monitoring, urgent security updates, backups with a restore test and a short monthly report. Tested scheduled updates, security scans and change hours come in the higher tiers. The price for a WordPress site is confirmed after the initial audit, because the number of plugins, WooCommerce and the hosting change the work. **Do you maintain WooCommerce stores?** Yes. A WooCommerce store gets the same plan plus checks that matter for selling: plugin and extension updates tested against a test order on staging, database updates run after WooCommerce updates, and payment and email notifications confirmed after each release. Stores usually need the Maintain tier or higher. ## 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 - [IANA time zone database](https://www.iana.org/time-zones) · iana.org - [WordPress.org: Requirements](https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/) · wordpress.org - [PHP: Supported versions](https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php) · php.net - [WordPress Developer Resources: Upgrading WordPress and automatic background updates](https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/upgrade/upgrading/) · developer.wordpress.org ## WordPress maintenance in nearby cities - [IndianapolisIN](https://dardo.studio/en/wordpress-maintenance-indianapolis/) - [ClevelandOH](https://dardo.studio/en/wordpress-maintenance-cleveland/) - [ChicagoIL](https://dardo.studio/en/wordpress-maintenance-chicago/) - [CharlotteNC](https://dardo.studio/en/wordpress-maintenance-charlotte/) - [AtlantaGA](https://dardo.studio/en/wordpress-maintenance-atlanta/) - [Washington, DCDC](https://dardo.studio/en/wordpress-maintenance-washington-dc/) - [TorontoON](https://dardo.studio/en/wordpress-maintenance-toronto/) - [PhiladelphiaPA](https://dardo.studio/en/wordpress-maintenance-philadelphia/) - [New YorkNY](https://dardo.studio/en/wordpress-maintenance-new-york/) - [MinneapolisMN](https://dardo.studio/en/wordpress-maintenance-minneapolis/) - [OmahaNE](https://dardo.studio/en/wordpress-maintenance-omaha/) - [BostonMA](https://dardo.studio/en/wordpress-maintenance-boston/) [WordPress maintenance in the United States](https://dardo.studio/en/wordpress-maintenance-usa/) · [WordPress maintenance by city](https://dardo.studio/en/wordpress-maintenance/) ## Other services in Cincinnati - [Branding agency in Cincinnati](https://dardo.studio/en/branding-agency-cincinnati/) - [Creative agency in Cincinnati](https://dardo.studio/en/creative-agency-cincinnati/) - [SEO agency in Cincinnati](https://dardo.studio/en/seo-agency-cincinnati/) - [Web design in Cincinnati](https://dardo.studio/en/web-design-agency/cincinnati/) - [Web development in Cincinnati](https://dardo.studio/en/web-development-cincinnati/) - [Website maintenance in Cincinnati](https://dardo.studio/en/website-maintenance-cincinnati/) - [Website redesign in Cincinnati](https://dardo.studio/en/website-redesign-cincinnati/) [Dardo](https://dardo.studio/) · [WordPress care by city](https://dardo.studio/en/wordpress-maintenance/) · Cincinnati ## Start with a brief Send what you need, your languages and your deadline.
