If you are here, it is because you need to know how much does a professional website cost in Spain before taking the plunge. I totally get it: it's one of the questions I get asked the most in my day-to-day work as a senior WordPress developer. And the honest answer is that it depends on many factors, but in this guide I'm going to give you real figures, updated to 2026, so you can make an informed decision.
In my experience, the price of a website in Spain ranges from 300 € and the 15,000 €., depending on the type of project, the technology employed and the level of customization. Throughout this article we will break down each scenario so you know exactly what to expect.
Price ranges by type of website in 2026
After more than a decade developing sites with WordPress, PHP and Vue.js, these are the ranges I manage and match what the Spanish market currently offers:
- Landing page (1 page): 300 € - 800 €
- Simple or basic web (3-5 pages): 700 € - 1.800 €
- Professional corporate website (5-10 pages): 800 € - 1.200 €
- Premium corporate website (custom design): from 1.200 € to 4.500 €.
- Basic online store (up to 50 products): 800 € - 1.500 €
- Advanced online store or marketplace: from 1.500 € to 6.000 € or more
- Tailor-made web applications: from 5.000 € up to 15.000 € +
According to data from Abstract Branding, The average agency cost is around €1,500, ranging from €500 to €6,000. On the other hand, AstracodeLAB estimates the average price of a professional website between 800 € and 15.000 €.
Attention: be wary of budgets under 300 €. In my experience, these projects tend to use unoptimized templates, lack support and generate performance and security problems in the medium term that will end up costing you much more.
How much do you charge in Spain for making a web site?
Rates vary greatly depending on who is executing the project. These are the three main options and their usual ranges:
Freelance or independent developer
- Hourly rate: 25 € - 60 €/hour
- Complete project: 500 € - 3.000 €
- Ideal for projects with tight budget and direct communication.
Web design agency
- Hourly rate: 50 € - 120 €/hour
- Complete project: 1.500 € - 15.000 €+
- They provide a multidisciplinary team (design, development, SEO, content).
DIY platforms
- WordPress.org: from 5 €/month hosting + domain (10-15 €/year) + premium templates (50-200 €)
- Shopify: plans from 29 € up to 299 €/month + sales commissions
- Squarespace: from 11 € to 36 €/month, hosting included
My recommendation: if your business depends on the web to generate customers, invest in a professional. In my workflow with WordPress and custom plugin development, I get results that a standard template simply cannot match in performance, security and conversion.
Factors that determine how much it costs to create a website
The price website Spain is not arbitrary. There are specific factors that cause a budget to go up or down:
1. Technology and platform (CMS vs. custom code)
WordPress or Shopify allow a faster and cheaper deployment, ideal for 80 % businesses. A development with frameworks such as Vue.js, React or Astro requires higher initial investment, but offers superior loading speed and scalability, something Google values for SEO.
2. UX/UI Design
Applying a pre-designed template is not the same as performing an information architecture and conversion-focused design study. In my experience, a good UX design can double the conversion rate of a site.
Number of pages and languages
A simple web of 5 pages does not require the same investment as a multi-language site with 50 pages. Each additional language typically increases the budget by 30 % to 60 %.
4. Specific functionalities
- Payment gateways and e-commerce
- Reservation or appointment systems
- CRM or ERP integrations
- Private areas for customers
- Custom plugin development (my specialty in PHP)
5. SEO and content
A website without SEO optimization is like having a store in a dead end. The cost of the initial SEO strategy can add between €300 and €1,500 to the budget, but the medium-term return more than justifies it.
How much does a 10-page website cost?
This is one of the questions I get the most. A professionally designed 10-page corporate website in Spain typically ranges between 800 € y 2.500 €. According to data from Webservi, A customized corporate website starts at 1,800 € and can reach 4,500 €.
The usual breakdown I handle for a 10-page project is:
- Design and layout: 400 € - 1.200 €
- Development and programming: 300 € - 800 €
- Content and copywriting: 200 € - 500 €
- Basic on-page SEO: 150 € - 400 €
- Testing and production start-up: 100 € - 200 €
How much does a domain name cost in Spain?
The price of the website and domain are concepts that are often confused. The domain is only the address (your-company.com or your-company.com) and has a cost independent of the development:
- .es domain: 8 € - 15 €/year
- .com domain: 10 € - 18 €/year
- Premium or highly demanded domains: 50 € - 500 €+ /year
Important: always make sure that the domain is registered in your name and not in the name of the developer or agency. I have seen too many cases where the client loses control of their domain because of not verifying this detail from day one.
How much does a website cost per month? Maintenance costs
Once the website is online, how much it costs to maintain a website is the next logical question. Typical monthly recurring costs are:
- Hosting: 5 € - 50 €/month (shared vs. VPS/dedicated hosting)
- Domain: equivalent to 1 € - 1.5 €/month (annual payment)
- SSL Certificate: free with Let's Encrypt or included with hosting
- WordPress maintenance (updates, backups, security): 30 € - 150 €/month
- Technical support and minor modifications: 50 € - 200 €/month
In total, the basic maintenance of a professional web site costs around 50 € - 200 €/month. If you include ongoing SEO or content marketing services, the figure can go up to 300 € - 800 €/month.
Advice from my workflow: never neglect WordPress, plugin and PHP updates. In my experience with plugin development, an outdated site is the first gateway for attacks. Automating daily backups and security updates is not a luxury, it's a necessity.
How much do you charge for having a website? Total cost for the first year
To give you a complete picture, here is the calculation of the total cost during the first year for the most common scenarios:
Basic web for freelance or small business
Development: 700 € - 1,200 €.
Yearly hosting: 60 € - 120 €
.es domain name: 10 € - 15 €
Basic maintenance (12 months): 360 - 600 euros
Total first year: 1,130 € - 1,935 €.
Professional corporate website
Development: 1,500 € - 4,500 €.
Yearly hosting: 120 € - 360 €
Domain: 10 € - 18 €.
Maintenance + support (12 months): 600 € - 1.800 €.
Total first year: €2,230 - €6,678
Online store with WooCommerce
Development: 1,200 € - 3,000 €.
Yearly optimized hosting: 180 € - 480 €.
Domain: 10 € - 18 €.
Premium plugins (gateway, shipping, invoicing): 100 € - 400 €
Maintenance + support (12 months): 600 € - 1.800 €.
Total first year: 2,090 € - 5,698 €.
How to choose the right professional for your website
Beyond price, there are signs that in my experience distinguish a good professional:
- Verifiable portfolio: that you can visit real web sites that I have developed.
- Itemized budget: be wary of anyone who gives you a global number without explaining what it includes.
- Ownership of the code and domain: everything must be in your name from the beginning.
- Post-launch support: the web needs constant maintenance.
- Demonstrable technical knowledge: ask for specific technologies (PHP, JavaScript, WPO optimization).
Alarm signal: if a provider tells you that your website will be ready in 3 days for 200 €, you are probably getting a template without customization, without optimization and without any guarantee of future support.
Is it worth investing in a professional website?
In my workflow I have seen how businesses that invest correctly in their website multiply their contacts and sales. The real cost of not having a professional website is much higher than the price of creating it: you lose visibility, credibility and business opportunities every day that passes.
A well-developed professional website is not an expense, it is an investment that works for you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. And with the right technology stack (optimized WordPress, custom plugins, good performance and security practices), the return on investment can be excellent.
