About
A small studio that actually answers
Staris is a web studio based in Santo Domingo. Before designing anything we ask how you sell, who buys from you and what people always ask you on WhatsApp, because that is where the website comes from. We work in English and Spanish, with businesses across the country, including English-speaking owners in Punta Cana, Las Terrenas, Cabarete and Sosúa.
How we work
We ask first, then we design
- 01
We listen to how your business sells
What sells most, who buys, what people always ask, what your place feels like. The design comes from there. That is why a barbershop and a dental clinic never end up looking alike.
- 02
We arrange the page so people write to you
Every section exists to answer something your customer wonders before getting in touch. If a section does not help with that, it does not go in.
- 03
We test it before handing it over
On phones and on computers, going through the buttons and the links one by one. We do not hand you anything we have not opened and used ourselves first.
Our rules
Six things we never negotiate
These are not sales promises: it is what we check on every project before calling it delivered.
- 01
Everything in writing before we charge
What your site will have, what it will not, when you see it and what it costs. If you want to add something later it gets agreed first; it never shows up as a surprise on the invoice.
- 02
It really works on a phone
We test it on small screens, which is how almost everyone will reach you. No cut-off text, no pinching to zoom, no buttons impossible to hit with a thumb.
- 03
It loads fast even on a bad signal
We optimize the photos and everything else so it opens in seconds on mobile data. A slow page loses customers before they ever see it.
- 04
Anyone can read it
Good contrast, legible sizes and navigation that also works without a mouse. Your website should not shut anyone out.
- 05
Google can find it from day one
We give search engines everything they need to understand your business. That does not guarantee first place, but without it you are not even competing.
- 06
We only publish what is true
We do not invent reviews, figures, awards or years of experience. If you did not confirm a fact to us, it does not appear on your site.
So there are no surprises
What we do and what we do not
We do
- Websites, catalogs, stores and systems, with the price published from the start
- Hand you the site within 72 business hours so you can review it
- Leave the domain and everything else in your name, not ours
- Charge once for building it; maintenance is optional
We do not
- Run ads or manage social media: that is another trade and we would rather do ours well
- Promise you first place on Google, because nobody honest can promise that
- Charge you a monthly fee just to keep your website alive
That is how we work. Shall we talk about your business?
