Web design across the whole Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic is several markets wearing one name. The dive and water-sports trade of Sosúa and Cabarete, the enormous international resort market of Punta Cana and Bávaro, the whale-watching and quiet-coast economy of Samaná, and the wholesale and retail engine of Santiago in the Cibao. A site that works for all four usually means four sites, or one very good compromise — and the difference is worth thinking about before you spend anything.

1

North coast, east, south, Cibao — genuinely different businesses

In Sosúa a dive shop fills or it does not, and its customers are booking a specific morning. In Bávaro a resort restaurant or a real estate office is being compared with listings from across the Caribbean, so presentation is the product. In Las Terrenas the season is humpback whales from mid-February to mid-March and beach holidays around it. In Santiago a supplier is serving hardware shops and Zona Franca businesses all year. Same country, four very different reasons to build a website.

We work across the country, and visit in the build season

From Sosúa and Cabarete on the north coast, through Puerto Plata and the Cibao, out to Punta Cana, La Romana, Bayahibe and Samaná. Most of the work is done remotely, which keeps the price honest. When a face-to-face meeting or a photo shoot would genuinely do better, we arrange it for June to November, when the people you want to meet are actually free and the season has not started.

The winter is the peak, and it decides whether the site was worth it

An audit in July tells you nothing about a business that trades hardest from Christmas to Easter. What matters is whether a family researching a villa from Toronto finds you in January, whether a boat owner in Rotterdam gets a reply about a February charter, and whether a guest who stayed with you last year can see availability without phoning. A site that only works in high season is a very expensive brochure.

Customers in another country, and the practicalities that follow

Serving people abroad is normal here, and it changes the build. Booking flows that don't assume a local phone call. Confirmation messages that arrive in the right language. Invoices and deposits in US dollars. Landing instructions, transfers and keys for a guest two time zones away. And a contact route that works at 23:00, because a message that lands after you close is a message you answer in the morning.

5

The technical things sites here have to get right

Consent for personal data under Ley 172-13, with a genuine reject option and nothing loading before agreement, plus the GDPR where EU visitors' data is involved. A privacy policy that matches reality. Prices that show ITBIS at 18%. A Google Business Profile that is actually maintained, especially its opening hours. On this coast the last one is not a formality — a beach bar with the wrong December hours is invisible exactly when it needs to be found.

6

Two languages minimum, a third where your customers are

Every business here needs Spanish and English. What comes next depends entirely on where you are: German and Russian in Sosúa, German in Cabarete, Russian and Italian in Punta Cana, Haitian Creole in Puerto Plata. We build real translated pages with the right language tags, not a machine translation of the local version sitting next to it — and we will tell you when a third language is not worth the money yet.

Common questions

Do you cover the north coast, the Cibao and the south?
Yes — Sosúa, Cabarete, Playa Grande, Puerto Plata, Imbert, Santiago and the Zona Franca, plus Punta Cana, Bávaro, La Romana, Bayahibe and Samaná. The work is remote-first, so distance affects response time rather than price.
I am in Santo Domingo. Do you still work with me?
Yes, and a fair number of our clients are businesses elsewhere whose customers are in the capital — a Cibao supplier, a north coast rental manager. The same process applies; only the meeting logistics change.
How do you handle a business whose customers are mostly German-speaking?
The German pages become the primary ones, with Spanish and English behind them. That means writing for German readers, setting the language tags correctly so Google shows each version to the right people, and deciding what is legally required here as well as in Germany.
Do you charge for travel to my town?
Not within the areas we cover. Visits are included where they genuinely help — a photo shoot, a first meeting, a session with the team. Travel outside them, or a trip that only suits us and not you, is quoted in advance rather than added to the invoice afterwards.
What if my business only really trades in high season?
Then the hurricane season becomes the point. A site that fills the beach bar in January is easy; a site that launches a summer offer in July, takes advance bookings for Christmas, and keeps working when the shutters are down is the version worth paying for.
