Our approach

How we approach this type of project

Design decisions that affect whether someone stays on a page for 8 seconds or 30 seconds are not aesthetic opinions -- they are structural choices. Heading hierarchy, whitespace, section order, and where the first call to action appears all determine whether a visitor understands the offer before they leave. We design in Figma before we build. That means the layout, typography, color, and section flow get reviewed and approved before a single component is written. We use Tailwind CSS for implementation, which keeps the visual system consistent across every page without custom CSS sprawl. A typical design engagement is 2 full days in Figma across a homepage and 3-4 service pages, followed by 2-3 weeks of build. We do not do design-only handoffs -- we design what we build, which removes the translation gap between mockup and final product.

FAQ

Questions about this service

How much does professional web design cost in Costa Rica?

A custom Figma design pass for a homepage and 3-4 service pages typically costs $800-$1,500 as a standalone phase. When bundled with development, most 5-8 page commercial projects with design included run $2,500-$5,000 total depending on complexity and content depth.

What is the difference between web design and web development in Costa Rica?

Web design covers layout, typography, color, and visual hierarchy — what users see. Web development is the code that makes it work: routing, forms, performance, and SEO structure. Strong websites need both done well and in sync with each other, which is why we do both in-house.

How do I know if my current website needs a redesign or just an update?

If visitors regularly misunderstand your offer, the mobile version is broken, or the site feels visually dated compared to competitors, it likely needs a redesign. If the structure is sound and only content is stale, targeted updates are faster and cheaper.

Does good web design actually help a business get more clients?

Yes, measurably. Clear visual hierarchy, a readable offer, and a visible form reduce bounce rate and increase inquiry rate. Design is not decoration — it determines how fast a visitor understands what you do and whether they trust it enough to contact you.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with foreign-owned businesses in Costa Rica?

Yes. Foreign-owned businesses are one of our strongest fits, especially when the buyer wants a Costa Rica-based team that can still communicate clearly in English.

Is this only for software?

No. Many projects start with a website, redesign, or a focused lead-generation landing page before they expand into heavier software work.

Can we start with a quote instead of WhatsApp?

Yes. The primary path is the form because it creates a cleaner commercial process and makes follow-up easier by email.
