Website Design
Custom websites for Dominican businesses — quick on a phone, honest about what you do, and built to be found rather than admired.
Most of your customers meet you online before they meet you, and most of them are looking at a phone while they walk. In the Dominican Republic that phone is often on mobile data, and on the north coast the signal is patchy in exactly the places people browse from. Every kilobyte counts. Ours load quickly, say plainly what you do, and keep a message button and a phone number within reach of every screen.
A real example
Dental clinic in Sosúa · two dentists, five staff
What they were doing
Half the calls in a morning were people asking what a treatment cost and when there was space — in Spanish, English and German. Reception was repeating the same three answers while the phone rang, and the website carried a price list from 2019 that nobody was keen to update.
What we set up
A treatment-by-treatment site with real photographs of the practice, honest starting prices, and the two things people actually want — how much, and how soon — answered on each page. WhatsApp sits in the corner of every screen, and the booking form hands over to the software they already use rather than replacing it.
What changed
The routine questions stopped arriving by phone within the first few weeks, and a good share of new enquiries now come in before nine in the morning from people who had already read what they needed.
Worth knowing: Their existing practice-management software has no usable public API, so appointments still get confirmed by the team rather than instantly. We'd rather link to it honestly than bolt on a booking form that half-works.

Where AI fits once the site is live
Once the site itself works, the admin around it is usually the next sensible target. Triaging what came in overnight, answering the handful of questions that arrive every week, turning a job form into a draft booking — all of that can be set running afterwards. We build the site first, because a good site with manual admin is a much better place to start than clever automation around a site that doesn't work.
Most websites here don't fail — they just do nothing
Nobody rings to complain about a site that's quietly useless. It loads eventually, says 'Welcome', shows three photographs and offers no obvious way to make contact, and the visitor moves on to the competitor they saw on the way up the street. On this coast that comparison happens constantly. Somebody booking a table for Saturday, or a treatment for next week, or a boat for February, will look at four businesses before lunch and pick the one that made it easiest. Design isn't decoration here. It's the thing standing between you and that shortlist.
Build the phone version first
We design the small screen first and work outward from there, instead of shrinking a desktop layout until it stops falling apart. That changes real decisions: bigger tap targets, fewer paragraphs before the phone number, and photographs sized so a visitor on a mobile data plan doesn't spend their allowance looking at your reception — particularly if they are roaming, which is common for North American and European visitors here.
Contact should never be a treasure hunt
Anyone who has to go looking for a number has usually decided already that you're not worth the effort. So every page carries a call button, a WhatsApp message and a form, and one of them is always visible without scrolling past the whole thing.
You will never be asked to edit it yourself
The things a business needs to change always happen at an awkward moment: a price before a job, a photograph taken this morning, a typo spotted on the way out of the door. Which is why every change after launch is ours. You send a message — often a photo with two arrows drawn on it — and it goes up the same day. No login to remember, no editor to learn, no laptop to find — which is exactly why a site in our care keeps up with the business rather than quietly going stale.
Built for a season, not a launch day
Most local sites are designed for June and then left to cope on their own through August. We build for the peak: pages that stay quick when the photographs are heavy, booking systems that don't fall over on the Saturday a beach club fills up, and a contact route that still works when the WhatsApp line is busy on the fifteenth of August.
Findable from day one, not after a separate SEO project
Page titles, descriptions, pages for everywhere you genuinely trade, and consistent business details are part of the build rather than an afterthought. The site starts earning the day it goes live, instead of waiting six months for somebody to be paid to bolt search on afterwards.
What’s included
- Built around your business — never a template with your logo dropped in
- Phone-first, and light enough for mobile data
- Spanish and English throughout, with the other languages you need
- A visible next step on every page: call, WhatsApp or book
- Cookie consent and accessibility dealt with, not left in a corner
Why it matters
- Contact from people who were already looking for you
- A site that finishes loading before they give up
- Yours to keep, and runnable from anywhere
Often useful alongside this
- A free website audit before deciding whether a rebuild is what you need — quite often it isn't.
- Logo and branding if you haven't got a consistent identity for the new site to sit on.
- A content management system so we can keep the site updated after launch.
- AI for business once the site is right, to automate the repetitive enquiries and admin around it.
Common questions
- Rebuild, or repair what's already there?
- It depends on the site, and that's not a question we can answer without looking. Ask for the free audit first and we'll say which one you actually need — including the occasional case where the site is basically fine and two things changing is the whole job.
- How long before it's live?
- Roughly two to three weeks once the content is agreed. Anything larger takes longer, and you'd get a real date at the start rather than an encouraging one in week five.
- How much of my time does this take?
- Less than you expect. Your logo, photographs and a rough description of what you do and what you charge — take whatever you have to hand, which on some projects is almost nothing. If that's thin we can write the copy and tell you what to photograph. You won't be asked to act as a designer, and you won't be asked to write in English if your business runs in Spanish.
- Which languages should the site be in?
- Spanish and English as a default, then whatever the evidence says. A dive shop in Bayahibe and a garment factory in Moca have completely different audiences, and the language somebody browses in is often not the language you'd be written to in.
- Is the site mine at the end of it?
- Completely. The domain sits in your name, the design and the words are yours, and it's built so another developer could take it on without drama. Nothing is deliberately withheld to keep a monthly payment coming in.
