lizardbot is a software development company with a US entity (lizardbot Inc) and a nearshore team in the Dominican Republic. It designs and builds websites, mobile apps, Shopify stores, automation and AI for US businesses and US Hispanic businesses, in English or Spanish. Clients own the full source code, pay by milestones and get a reply within 24 hours.
A bilingual software development company for the USA
Plenty of US businesses run in two languages. They sell in English, but the owner, the staff or a share of their customers are more comfortable in Spanish. Explaining a software project in your second language takes time and leaves gaps.
With lizardbot you talk to the same team in English or Spanish, and the finished product can ship in one language or both. We are one team that designs, builds and ships: websites, SaaS platforms, iOS and Android apps, desktop software, automation, AI and security.
lizardbot Inc, with a nearshore team in the Dominican Republic
We have registered companies in the United States (lizardbot Inc) and the Dominican Republic (lizardbot SRL). Development happens in the Dominican Republic, which makes us a nearshore partner: a team close by instead of one on the other side of the world.
The practical benefit is time. The Dominican Republic matches US Eastern time for most of the year and is one hour ahead in winter. That means meetings inside your workday, live demos and same-day answers, with no waiting for an overnight handoff.
Shopify stores that sell and ship in the US
We build turnkey Shopify stores: design, catalog, payments, shipping, domain, legal pages, mobile, SEO and training. The account, the domain and your customer data stay in your name, and you pay the Shopify subscription directly to Shopify.
Two stores we built that sell in the United States are Figmoor and Pearmoor:
- Figmoor: useful products for home, beauty, kitchen and pets, with a filterable catalog, quantity offers and free shipping in the contiguous US.
- Pearmoor: 188 products for home, pets, beauty and fitness, each with its own detailed page, a filterable catalog and free US shipping.

SaaS platforms and products built on US numbers
We do more than brochure sites. Wijo Number is a SaaS platform for receiving SMS verification codes on United States numbers, with a dashboard and an API: a full product, not an info page.
We also build our own products, like antlook.io, a privacy browser built on Chromium, and AI tools such as LizardWhats, which answers customers on WhatsApp, and LizardPost, which creates social media posts. If your company needs a chatbot, generative AI or automation between your tools, see our AI development service.
How we work with US companies
Our process has five stages, each ending with something you can review:
- Discovery: scope and a timeline.
- Design: a prototype to review before any code.
- Development: short cycles with a demo of each milestone.
- Security and QA: testing, audits and data hardening.
- Launch: deploy, monitoring and support.
As a guide, a landing page usually takes 1–2 weeks and a full app 6–12 weeks. We work with React, Next.js, Node, Flutter, React Native, Electron and Python, picking the stack for each project. You pay by milestones, revisions are included, and the source code is yours.
What to check before hiring a nearshore development team
- Code ownership: confirm in writing that you get the source code and full ownership.
- Real working hours: ask when you can meet and how fast they reply.
- Language: if your team or customers speak Spanish, your vendor should too.
- Live work: ask for links to products that run today.
- Payment terms: milestone payments mean you never pay for everything before you see progress.
