For businesses in Santo Domingo
Start where you are. Grow step by step.
Not every business needs the same thing at the same time. That's why I work with a four-level value ladder: each level solves a specific problem and sets the stage for the next one.
Level 1
Do you know what a new customer sees when they search for you on Google? I review your website, Google Maps profile, social media, and how everything looks on a phone. You get a report with 10 concrete findings and what to fix first.
- Google Business and Maps review
- Site speed and functionality check
- Social media and first impression audit
- 10 prioritized findings delivered as a PDF
Great for: doctors, attorneys, salons, restaurants

Level 2
Optimized Google Business profile plus a professional landing page with a direct WhatsApp button. No contracts, no monthly fees. One payment and your business shows up when a customer searches from their phone.
- Complete and verified Google Business Profile
- Responsive website with WhatsApp integration
- Basic SEO for local searches in the DR
- Guaranteed delivery in 7 business days
Great for: businesses with no digital presence or an outdated site

Level 3
You already have a digital presence — now it needs to stay active and keep growing. I handle everything: site updates, active Google Business management, review monitoring, and a monthly report with your real numbers.
- Monthly retainer with a defined scope
- Website maintenance (content, speed, security)
- Google Business kept current with posts and photos
- Monthly report of visits, calls, and searches
- Ongoing support via WhatsApp and email
Great for: Level 2 clients who want to maintain and grow

- Robust REST APIs with Python, Flask, or Django
- Relational databases (PostgreSQL, SQLite) and schema design
- Authentication, roles, and per-user permissions

- Wireframes and high-fidelity prototypes in Figma
- Scalable design system: components, typography, colors, icons

How I work
From concept to production in 4 steps.
A clear, transparent process so you always know exactly where your project stands.
01
Discovery 3–5 days
I learn your business, goals, audience, and context before designing or writing a single line of code. Without this step, nothing else matters.
02
Design & prototype 1–2 weeks
Wireframes and mockups in Figma so you can see what the result will look like before it exists. Includes 2 revision rounds.
03
Development 2–4 weeks
Clean, well-structured, tested code. No generic templates — every project is built for its specific purpose.
04
Delivery & support
Production deployment, system walkthrough, and post-delivery support so you're never left on your own with your new tool.
No fine print
What it's like to work with me.
Payment
50% upfront · 50% on delivery
One-time projects have no monthly fees or long-term commitments. The monthly management plan can be canceled any month without penalty.
Revisions
2 revision rounds included
One before design approval and one before final delivery. Minor changes after delivery are covered by an included support period.
Ownership
The code and domain are yours
At delivery I hand over all credentials: domain, hosting, CMS, and repository. You'll never have to depend on me to access what you paid for.
Proposal
Response in under 24 hours
Share your project and I'll put together a proposal with a defined scope, price, and timeline. No endless meetings, no unnecessary jargon.
Frequently asked questions
What people ask me most.
How long does it take to deliver a landing page?
A professional landing page is delivered in 7 business days. A corporate site with multiple pages takes 2 to 3 weeks. Custom systems have timelines defined at the start of the project based on their complexity.
What's included in the landing page service?
Custom design, a fully responsive layout for all devices, a functional contact form, speed optimization, and basic on-page SEO. First-year hosting is included in the project.
Do you work with clients outside of Santo Domingo?
Yes. I work with clients across the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and the US entirely remotely. Communication is via WhatsApp, email, and video call — the process is just as smooth as working in person.
Why Shopify for an online store?
Shopify is the world's most robust and reliable e-commerce platform. It handles secure payments, inventory, shipping, and thousands of integrations. A custom Shopify store looks unique, loads fast, and is built from the ground up to convert — not just display products.
How does AI integration actually work?
I analyze the process you want to automate, choose the right AI model (LLaMA 3, Gemini, or Groq), and integrate it directly into your existing system or a new one. You can automate everything from document digitization to generating complete reports with no human intervention.
What if I need changes after delivery?
All projects include a revision round before final delivery. Minor post-delivery changes are covered by an included support period. Larger changes or product evolution are scoped as a new work agreement.
Do you work with doctors, clinics, or beauty salons?
Yes — it's one of my core markets in Santo Domingo. I work with healthcare professionals, attorneys, beauty salons, and service businesses that need to show up on Google and have a digital presence that reflects the quality of their work. The process starts with a 24-hour diagnostic to pinpoint exactly where the problems are.
How much does it cost to appear on Google in the Dominican Republic?
It depends on where you're starting from. If you already have a presence but it's not optimized, an express diagnostic (from RD$1,500) identifies the issues within 24 hours. If you're starting from scratch, the full visibility service — Google Business plus a website — starts at RD$18,000 with delivery in 7 business days. No mandatory monthly fees at that level.
Are there long-term contracts or can I cancel anytime?
One-time projects (diagnostic, website, custom system) are a single payment with no ongoing commitment. The monthly maintenance plan has no annual contract — you can cancel any month without penalty. The goal is that you stay because you see results, not because you signed a contract.
How long before I see results on Google?
With a properly optimized Google Business profile, changes typically appear within 1–2 weeks. For organic search results with the website, the typical range in markets like Santo Domingo is 4 to 8 weeks for low-competition local searches. I send you a monthly report so you can see the numbers for yourself.
Why working with one professional changes the outcome.
When you hire an agency, your project passes through multiple hands: an account manager who takes the brief, a designer who never talks to you directly, a developer who receives the design without context, and a project manager coordinating all of the above. Every handoff loses information. Every layer adds time and cost.
I work differently. From the first conversation to the day your project goes live, there's one person responsible for understanding your business, designing the solution, and building it. That means fewer meetings, fewer misunderstandings, and a final product that reflects exactly what we discussed — not someone's interpretation of what you said.
With 18 years of experience working with businesses in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and the United States, and as a former multimedia professor at the Centro Educativo en Arte Benito Juárez, I know how to translate complex technical ideas into terms that make sense for your business. You don't need to understand code to work with me. You just need to know what you want to achieve.
If you're looking for a developer who just executes tickets, I'm not the right fit. If you want someone who thinks through the problem with you before proposing a solution, let's talk.
