Websites made for the coast.
We design, write, shoot and build websites for hotels, tour operators, retreats and the service businesses that keep Guanacaste running. One team in Nosara does all of it, so your site looks like the place your guests actually show up to.

The one-stop shop
One team. The whole site.
Most web designers start by asking for your photos and your copy. We bring them. The people who shoot your property are the same people who write the pages and build the site, so nothing gets lost between four freelancers.
01studio.
Plan
What the site has to do, who it's for, and which three pages matter. Decided on one call.
02studio.
Design
Built around your photos, not a template that happens to have a palm tree on it.
03studio.
Copy, English + Spanish
Written in both languages by people who speak them. Your Tico customers read Spanish, not a translation of English.
04film.
Photography
Rooms, food, team, the view from the deck. Shot for the site, in the light it needs.
05film.
Video + drone
Hero loops, aerials of the beach, and a 30-second reel you can also run on Instagram.
06studio.
The build
Hand-coded and light. Loads fast on the 4G you get at the beach, not just on office wifi.
07hola.
Booking + WhatsApp
Booking forms, deposits, and an assistant that answers WhatsApp at 11pm in both languages.
08studio.
Google + SEO
Google Business Profile, maps, reviews, and pages for what people actually search, like "surf lessons Nosara".
09studio.
Care
Green-season rates, a new menu, holiday hours. Send a WhatsApp and it's live that day.
The usual way
- A web designer who's never seen your property
- A photographer booked separately, if at all
- Copy pasted into a translator for the Spanish version
- Stock photos of someone else's beach
- Four invoices. Nobody owns the result.
studio.
- One team that's walked your property
- Photos and video shot for the layout
- Both languages written from scratch
- Your beach, your rooms, your people
- One plan, one invoice, one number to call
Local details
Built for how the coast works.
A site built in Miami doesn't know your guests arrive on a dirt road with one bar of signal. Ours do.
Fast on one bar
Light pages and compressed images, so the site opens on the beach, in the parking lot, on rural 4G.
Dollars and colones
Prices both ways, so tourists and locals both know what they're paying before they ask.
$65 · ₡33,000WhatsApp first
Costa Rica books on WhatsApp. Every button can open a chat with the dates and the tour already filled in.
Two languages, side by side
One tap between English and Spanish. Both versions written properly, both indexed by Google.
EN · ESGreen-season ready
September closures, October rates, the December rush. Seasonal changes go live without a redesign.

Questions
Before you call.
Do I need my own photos?
No. That's the point of hiring us. We shoot what the site needs. If you already have good material, we'll use it next to ours.
Do you only work in Nosara?
We're based in Nosara and shoot the whole Guanacaste coast, from Playas del Coco down to Punta Islita. Further out works too, we just plan the travel into the shoot.
Can you rebuild the site I already have?
Yes. Most of our calls start there. We keep what works, move your domain over without losing your Google ranking, and replace the rest.
Is the Spanish version actually written in Spanish?
Yes. Both versions are written by people who speak the language. Costa Rican customers can tell when a page was run through a translator.
What happens after launch?
We stay on if you want us. New rates, a closed week in October, a new menu: send a WhatsApp and it's done. Or we hand you the keys and show you how to edit it yourself.
