Website Costs for Small Businesses on the Costa Blanca

📅 5 July 2026 ⏱ 3 min read 🌐 Web Design

Why is website pricing so confusing?

You ask three different people what a website costs and you get three completely different answers. One quote is €300, another is €5,000, and neither person properly explains what you're actually getting. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone — it's one of the most common frustrations I hear from business owners along the Costa Blanca.

The honest answer is: it depends. But that doesn't have to be a cop-out. Let me break it down into something actually useful.

The main factors that affect the price

1. How the site is built

Most small-business websites are built on a platform like WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace. These are perfectly good options. A bespoke site coded entirely from scratch costs more — and for most local businesses, it isn't necessary. What matters is that it looks professional, loads fast, and works on a phone.

2. How many pages you need

A simple five-page site (Home, About, Services, Gallery, Contact) is very different from an e-commerce shop with 200 products. Be honest with yourself about what you actually need to start.

3. Who writes the content

A lot of quotes fall apart here. The designer gives you a low number — then tells you the price doesn't include writing the text or supplying photos. Always ask: is copywriting included? Are stock photos included?

4. Bilingual requirements

On the Costa Blanca, a bilingual site in English and Spanish is often not a luxury — it's a necessity. You're serving British and Irish expats, Spanish locals, Scandinavians, Germans. A site in one language alone is leaving customers on the table. Read more about why bilingual websites matter for Costa Blanca businesses.

5. Ongoing costs

The one-off build price is only part of the story. You'll also need to budget for domain registration (around €10–15/year), hosting (€5–20/month depending on the host), and ongoing maintenance. Ask any potential supplier to spell out the yearly running costs before you sign anything.

Realistic price ranges in 2025

Type of site Typical range What you get
DIY builder (Wix, Squarespace) €0–€30/month You build it yourself. Low cost, steep learning curve, often looks generic.
Freelancer, basic site €400–€900 5–6 pages, usually a template, content sometimes included.
Small agency / local professional €900–€2,500 Custom design, copywriting, bilingual, SEO basics, mobile-optimised.
E-commerce / complex functionality €2,500–€6,000+ Online shop, booking systems, membership areas, etc.

For most small businesses on the Costa Blanca — a restaurant, a rental property, a beauty salon, a plumber, a physiotherapist — a well-built site in the €900–€2,000 range should cover everything you genuinely need.

Red flags to watch out for

DIY or hire someone?

If you're tech-comfortable and have time to spare, a Wix or Squarespace site can be a decent starting point. But most business owners tell me they spent more time wrestling with their DIY site than they expected — and ended up with something they weren't proud of. Your time has a value too.

If your website is the first thing a potential customer sees, it needs to represent your business well. A poor website can cost you more in lost custom than a good one costs to build.

FAQ

How much does a basic small-business website cost in Spain in 2025?

For a professionally designed five-to-six-page site with mobile optimisation and basic SEO, expect to pay between €900 and €2,000 from a local freelancer or small agency. Cheaper quotes often exclude copywriting, photography, or ongoing support.

Do I need a bilingual website on the Costa Blanca?

In most cases, yes. The Costa Blanca has a large English-speaking expat community alongside Spanish-speaking locals. A bilingual site in English and Spanish will reach significantly more potential customers.

What are the ongoing costs of a website?

As a guide: domain registration runs around €10–15 per year, hosting €5–20 per month, and you should budget for occasional maintenance and updates. Always ask a supplier to provide a full cost breakdown, including annual running costs.

Can I build my own website with Wix or Squarespace?

Yes, and for very simple needs it can work. However, most business owners underestimate the time involved and end up with a generic result. If your website represents your business to potential customers, a professionally built site almost always pays for itself.
