You're setting up a business in Fuengirola — a salon near the seafront, a workshop in Los Boliches, a clinic in El Boquetillo — and the time has come for a website. You ask "how much?" and everyone gives you a different figure: €150, €1,200, "it depends". It's not that they're lying: a website isn't an off-the-shelf product, it's a made-to-measure job. Here are the real prices, what each one includes and the costs nobody mentions until they show up on the invoice.
What drives the price of a website
Before we get to numbers, it helps to understand why two similar businesses end up paying such different sums. These are the factors that really move the needle:
- The type of project. A one-page landing is not the same as a website with several sections or an online shop. The more pages and features, the more hours of work and the higher the price.
- Custom design or adapted template. A design built from scratch takes longer than a well-personalised template. For a local business, a carefully adapted base built around your brand is usually more than enough.
- How many pages and sections you want. Home, services, about us, gallery, contact, blog… every block adds design, copywriting and layout work.
- Extra features. Online bookings, a catalogue, card payments, several languages. Anything that "does things" makes the project more expensive — and if you don't need it, it's money you shouldn't be spending.
- Domain, hosting and maintenance. The domain renews every year and hosting is paid monthly. Sometimes they're included and sometimes they're not: clarify this before signing anything.
The good news is that for the vast majority of Fuengirola businesses that simply want to look good online and receive enquiries, nothing complicated is needed. A fixed, honest plan covers the essentials.

A quick sum: if your €180 basic website brings you one client worth more than that, it has already paid for itself. Everything after that is direct return.
Comparison: what each plan includes
If you want it at a glance to decide which one fits, this table sums up the essentials of the three plans:
| What we compare | One page | Up to 5 pages | Online shop |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | €180 + VAT | €350 + VAT | €450 + VAT |
| What it includes | One page with responsive design and basic technical SEO | Up to 5 pages, blog, Google map and 1 month of support | Catalogue, cart, payment gateway and training |
| Who it's for | Freelancers and businesses that need presence and enquiries | Businesses that want to explain their services in detail | Shops that sell or want to sell online |
| Payment | One-off | One-off | One-off |
| Delivery | 5-7 days | 5-7 days | 5-7 days from content handover |
Costs that are often forgotten
The website design is one part of the spend, not the whole spend. These are the amounts to keep in mind from the start so nothing catches you off guard:
- Domain. Your address (yourbusiness.es), around €10-15 a year. It renews annually and must be in your name.
- Hosting. The server where your website lives, from a few euros a month. Ask whether it's included or arranged separately.
- SSL certificate. The security padlock. Today it's usually included at no cost, but it's a box that must be ticked.
- Maintenance and updates. Backups, plugins and small improvements. The key thing: know whether it's covered or paid separately.
- Content: photos and texts. If you don't have them, they have to be created, and this is the most forgotten cost. In Fuengirola a beach bar's website without good photos of the place loses half its appeal — and the same goes for any business.
Add it all up and the real investment in a small website is still modest compared with a physical shop window. The difference is that a website works around the clock.
Mistakes when hiring (that make your website more expensive)
Some decisions look harmless and end up costing double. These are the most common ones and how to avoid them:
- Asking for features you don't need. A website for a salon in Los Boliches doesn't need a payment gateway or complex bookings. Define what you actually need first.
- Changing the design mid-project. Every change of direction costs time and, sometimes, money. Approve the design before it's built.
- Not having the content ready. Texts and photos prepared from day one shorten the deadline and prevent delays. It's what stretches a 5-7 day project the most.
- Choosing on price alone. The cheapest badly-built website ends up costing double when it has to be rebuilt. Look at what's included, not just the number.
- Not asking about what comes next. Who updates it, who responds if something breaks and how much maintenance costs. Better to know before signing than after.
Payments and deadlines: what to expect
So there are no surprises, this is how things work at Solaris. Web design is a one-off payment: €180, €350 or €450 + VAT depending on the plan you choose. Delivery is usually 5 to 7 days from the moment we have your content and your business information. That timeline starts once everything is in our hands, not when the project is first discussed.
Besides the one-off payment there are the recurring costs (domain and hosting) and, if you want it, local SEO: €150/month + VAT to work on your Google Maps listing, or €250/month + VAT if you also want monthly articles on your website. It's an optional monthly service with no commitment. For a Fuengirola business that wants to be found when people search for what it offers, it's the add-on that turns a nice-looking website into clients who call.
Why Solaris
There are many ways to commission a website. We work differently, and we like that to show:
- Fixed, published prices. €180, €350 or €450. No "request a quote" and no surprises on the final invoice.
- We know the Costa del Sol. We work with businesses in Fuengirola, Marbella and across the area; we understand how a local customer searches, but also the tourist who arrives with their phone.
- Fast delivery, no fuss. 5-7 days from content handover, with everything explained before we start.
- We explain what we do. You know what your plan includes, what it will cost later and what to expect from your website. No hype and no promises that can't be kept.
- All in one place. If you also want local SEO or images, you get them from the same team without having to look elsewhere.
