How much does a website cost in Spain?

Real ranges, not "it depends". Plus the yearly costs that continue after the site is built, which is where most surprises come from.

Prices in Spain vary enormously, and quotes for the same job can differ by a factor of five. These are the ranges you will actually encounter in 2026, and what separates one end from the other.

The ranges

Type of siteTypical rangeTime
One-page landing€250 – €600About a week
Small business site, 4–5 pages€800 – €1,5002–3 weeks
Bilingual site with SEO groundwork€1,200 – €2,5003–4 weeks
Bookings or online shop€1,500 – €4,0004–8 weeks

What moves the price

  • Number of pages, and whether each one is written from scratch.
  • Who writes the text. If you supply it, it is cheaper; if it has to be researched and written, it is not.
  • A second language. A properly written English or Spanish version is more work, not a plugin.
  • Bookings, payments or a catalogue, which move it from a website to a small system.
  • Photography. Nobody includes it and every site needs it.

A quote well below these ranges is usually a bought template with your logo dropped in. That can be fine if you know that is what you are getting. It stops being fine when it is sold as a custom site.

The yearly costs nobody mentions

First yearAfter that
Domain (.es or .com)€1 – €15€12 – €20
Hosting€30 – €70€90 – €150
SSL certificateIncludedIncluded, should be free
Maintenance (optional)€100 – €500/month

That jump in the second year is not a scam, it is how the whole industry prices: the offer applies to the first purchase and renewal goes to standard rate. Worth knowing before the charge arrives rather than after.

Questions to ask before you sign anything

  • Is the domain registered in my name? Check it yourself on any whois lookup.
  • If I leave, do I take the website with me?
  • Is there a minimum term on the monthly fee?
  • Who writes the text, and is that in the price?
  • What exactly happens if I need a change in six months?

Common questions

Is it cheaper to hire someone outside Spain?

Often, yes. What you lose is someone who understands the Spanish market, writes properly in Spanish, and knows the local legal requirements. For a business trading in Spain that usually costs more than it saves.

Do I pay VAT?

If you hire a Spanish business, yes — 21% IVA, and you get a proper invoice you can put through your accounts. If someone quotes without VAT and without an invoice, that is a problem for your bookkeeping, not a discount.

Deposit or pay at the end?

Half at the start and half on delivery is the normal arrangement in Spain and protects both sides. Paying everything upfront to someone you have not worked with before is not a good idea.
