Nearshore advantage

Why Salomon vs
US web agencies.

⚡ Speed that ranks

Astro and Next.js out of the box, 90+ Lighthouse scores, Core Web Vitals pass. Most US agencies still ship WordPress with slow plugins. Speed is a Google ranking factor; we don't fight it.

🕐 Same time zone, real collaboration

Costa Rica operates on CST/EST. Real-time Slack, sync meetings during your business day, no next-morning emails from offshore teams.

💵 A fraction of US agency rates

Without Manhattan office overhead and US-tier salaries. Same engineering quality, same modern stack, dramatically lower cost.

🌎 Bilingual development (EN + ES)

We build sites in both English and Spanish properly: native content per language, hreflang setup, separate keyword research. Critical if you serve any Hispanic market in FL, TX, CA, NY, NJ.

Stack philosophy

Why we don't use WordPress (by default).

WordPress powers ~43% of the web, but most of those sites are slow, vulnerable, and hard to maintain. We build with modern frameworks (Astro, Next.js, headless CMS when needed) because:

  • Page speed: Astro/Next ship 5-10x faster sites than typical WordPress builds. That speed is a direct Google ranking advantage.
  • Security: No plugin attack surface. WordPress is the most-attacked CMS on the internet.
  • Maintenance: Modern frameworks deploy in seconds with zero downtime. WordPress requires plugin updates, security patches, and database backups.
  • Future-proof: A modern stack lets us add features (AI integrations, custom workflows, headless mobile apps) without rewriting.

WordPress is a fine choice if your team specifically needs the Gutenberg editor or if you have an existing WP investment. We can deliver that path too. We just don't default to it.

FAQ

Frequently asked
questions.

How do you price web design projects?

We don't publish flat pricing because every project is different. Your scope, design complexity, integrations, and content volume all change what makes sense. After a 30-minute discovery call, you'll get a custom proposal with clear deliverables, a fixed price, and no surprise upsells. Cost is typically a fraction of what comparable US agencies charge for equivalent scope.

How long does it take to build a website?

Most marketing sites take 4 to 8 weeks from kickoff to launch. SaaS dashboards or e-commerce sites with custom logic can take 8 to 16 weeks. We give you a fixed timeline with milestones in your proposal, not a vague 'a few months'.

Do you build with WordPress?

By default, no. We build with modern frameworks (Astro, Next.js) that ship faster, more secure, easier to maintain. We can build on WordPress if your team specifically needs Gutenberg or you have an existing investment, but we recommend modern stack for new projects.

What about my SEO if you redesign my site?

Properly handled, a redesign improves SEO. We migrate URLs cleanly, preserve canonical signals, run before-and-after audits, and monitor rankings post-launch. A redesign that hurts SEO is poor execution, not a fundamental tradeoff.

Do you handle hosting?

Yes. We deploy on Cloudflare Pages, Vercel, or Netlify by default (fast global CDN, free SSL, automatic builds). You can also bring your own hosting; we'll set up the deploy pipeline.

Can you make the site bilingual (EN + ES)?

Yes, properly. Native content per language, hreflang setup, separate keyword research, and SEO optimization for both. Most agencies translate the EN content to ES with software, which Google penalizes. We don't.

What happens after the site launches?

Optional monthly maintenance covers security updates, content edits, performance monitoring, and minor improvements. You can also bring it in-house at any time; we hand off the codebase clean with documentation.
