When someone searches for your service in Marbella, your corporate website isn't a brochure: it's the first meeting with a client. Before they call you, ask for a quote or email you, that person has already formed an opinion about you from your site. In a few seconds they decide whether you look trustworthy or just like everyone else. In this article we explain what sets a corporate website apart from a basic one, what it should include and what it costs to have one in Marbella, with clear prices and no fluff.
What sets a corporate website apart from a basic one
A basic website is usually a digital business card: you present the business, add a phone number and little else. A corporate website is designed as a sales tool. The difference isn't the number of pages, but whether the structure is built to move the visitor towards getting in touch.
- There's a strategy behind it. Each page answers a specific question the client has and nudges them one step closer to you.
- It conveys authority. Showing detailed services, team and examples of your work makes visitors take you seriously.
- It's built to grow. Adding pages, a blog or an online store later is easy if the foundation is right.
Basic website, corporate website or online store
Not every business needs the same thing. This table helps you place yourself at a glance:
| What we compare | Basic website | Corporate website | Online store |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pages | 1 to 5, the essentials | Up to 5, with a clear structure | More catalogue and product pages |
| Goal | Being present online | Building trust and enquiries | Selling online |
| Integration | A form and little else | Forms, bookings, CRM | Payment gateway and shipping |
| Cost | €180 + VAT (1 page) | €350 + VAT (up to 5 pages, no store) | €450 + VAT |
What a corporate website should include
These are the blocks that separate a website that merely exists from one that works for you:
Service pages
One page per service, well written, explaining what you do and for whom. It's what your clients search for and what Google understands.
Team page
There are people behind a business. Showing faces and experience builds a trust no generic page can match.
Cases and examples
Showing real work (with the client's permission) proves you can do what you say. It's the most convincing argument there is.
Blog
A blog with useful content can help you rank for searches in your sector and show that you know your subject.
Multilingual
In Marbella, with so many foreign residents and clients, an English version widens your audience without you doing anything else.
Integrations
Forms that email you, bookings, chat or a connection to your CRM. They save time and stop enquiries getting lost.
What corporate web design costs in Marbella
At Solaris we work with fixed, published prices, with no "request a quote" and no surprises on the invoice. These are the three web design options:
1 page
€180 + VAT
A landing page to present your business and receive enquiries.
Up to 5 pages
€350 + VAT
The typical corporate option: home, services, about us and contact. No online store.
Online store
€450 + VAT
If you also want to sell products or services straight from the website.
Think of a corporate website as an investment, not a cost: well planned, it can help more visitors turn into clients and cut the time you spend explaining what you do over the phone.
Common mistakes with a corporate website
We've seen many projects and these mistakes come up again and again:
- Thinking about you, not the client. A site full of "we're the best" with no answers to real questions convinces nobody.
- Forgetting mobile. Many visitors arrive from their phone; if it looks bad on mobile, they leave.
- Asking nothing of the visitor. Without a clear call to action (contact, call, request a quote), the visitor leaves no trace.
- Launch and forget. A website isn't a project you deliver and forget: it's worth reviewing and updating over time.
Why Solaris
There are many agencies and freelancers in Marbella. We work differently:
- Specialists in local Costa del Sol businesses. We know the market you operate in and how your client searches, and we also work on web design in Marbella and local SEO.
- Fixed, published prices. €180, €350 or €450 + VAT depending on what you need, with no surprises on the invoice.
- Structure built for ranking. We build the site on a foundation designed so you can work on local SEO, as we explain in how much a website costs in Marbella.
- We explain what we do. You'll know why each section sits where it does and how to use it to attract clients.
Think of it this way: a corporate website that works can help you so that a single new client a month more than covers its cost. Everything after that is return.
