The verdict in three sentences
In Andorra la Vella, a fine dining restaurant website from an Andorran agency, or from a Barcelona or Toulouse agency working for the Principality, costs as a 2026 order of magnitude 3,500 to 15,000 EUR, and a local freelancer can offer a simple site for under 2,000 EUR. Kolonell builds the menu pages, the booking, the private room page and the copy at a fixed price of 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 EUR, delivered in 3 to 4 weeks for Starter and Growth. The choice comes down to the three-year cost, to handling four languages (Catalan, Spanish, French, English) and to a schedule built around the ski season.
This version is written for the English-speaking owners and managers of restaurants in Andorra la Vella, many of them recent residents of the Principality.
How much do a local agency, a freelancer and Kolonell cost in Andorra?
The Andorran market has few agencies, and many restaurants use Catalan or Toulouse studios. The ranges below are cautious orders of magnitude, built from public price lists of Andorran and Catalan agencies, minimum project sizes on Clutch.co, hourly rates published by studios in the region (often 45 to 85 EUR per hour) and rates visible on Malt and Upwork.
| Criterion | Andorran or Catalan agency | Local freelancer | Kolonell |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build, 2026 order of magnitude | 3,500 to 15,000 EUR | 1,200 to 5,000 EUR | 2 700 / 4 500 / 8 200 EUR, fixed price |
| Changes outside scope | Often 45 to 85 EUR per hour | Often 30 to 50 EUR per hour | Quoted in writing before work starts |
| Usual timeline | 6 to 12 weeks | 3 to 8 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks, Premium usually 4 to 6 |
| Meetings at the restaurant | Yes, or a trip from Barcelona | Yes | No: Google Meet calls at your hour |
| Dish photo shoot | Often an option | Sometimes | Not included: your photos or a local photographer |
| Menu and page copy | Often billed separately | Rarely included | Native French or English included |
| Ownership | Check the contract | Check the contract | Domain in your name, all access handed over |
To be frank, an Andorran freelancer can cost less than Kolonell Starter. What Kolonell adds is native copy, a written scope, a project manager reachable in your time zone with a written update every week, and 3 months of support (6 in Premium). The team is based in Senegal (GMT), one hour behind Andorra in winter and two in summer. Payment is by bank transfer or Wise, 50 % at kickoff and 50 % on delivery. The packages are detailed in our international website offer.
What budget should you plan over three years, translations included?
In Andorra, languages weigh as much as the build. The table assumes the same maintenance on every side, since Kolonell quotes it on request after the support period, and a Catalan and Spanish translation from a local translator at the same price for everyone.
| Item over 36 months | Agency (mid range) | Local freelancer | Kolonell Growth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Website build | 8,000 EUR | 2,800 EUR | 4 500 EUR |
| Maintenance (same assumption) | 70 EUR a month over 33 months, 2,310 EUR | 2,310 EUR | 2 310 EUR, quoted on request |
| Menu changes (winter, summer) | 8 hours at 55 EUR, 440 EUR | 8 hours at 40 EUR, 320 EUR | Menus edited by your team, 0 EUR |
| Food photo shoot | 700 EUR | 700 EUR | Local photographer, 700 EUR |
| Catalan and Spanish translation | 900 EUR | 900 EUR | Supplied by you or quoted, 900 EUR |
| Indicative total | 12,350 EUR | 7,030 EUR | 8 410 EUR |
The freelancer remains the cheapest on these assumptions. The agency can make sense if you want someone who visits the restaurant every month. Have each supplier fill in this same table.

What a fine dining restaurant in Andorra la Vella needs online
A table in the capital serves three audiences. Residents, including many newly arrived French, Spanish and English speakers, look for a regular address during the week. The business world (banks, firms, companies set up in the Principality) books client meals and private rooms. Visitors, skiers from Grandvalira and Pal Arinsal in winter, hikers and Caldea guests in summer, find the restaurant on mobile, often the day before.
- Catalan as the reference language for local roots, with French and Spanish for most visitors and English for international residents.
- Menus that follow the seasons: winter menu, summer menu, mountain produce and Pyrenean or Catalan wines if you serve them.
- Booking through your tool, for example TheFork, widely used by Spanish and French guests, or the software you already have, with clear deposit rules for the February peak.
- A private room page for business meals: capacity, menus, discretion, a direct form.
- Access and parking: car parks near Avinguda Meritxell, opening hours, conditions when it snows.
- A Google Business Profile aligned with the site, with reviews answered in the guest's language.
On compliance, keep to the facts. Andorra is not a member of the European Union: it has its own Qualified Law 29/2021 on personal data protection, close to the GDPR and supervised by the Andorran Data Protection Agency, and the GDPR may also cover some processing aimed at customers in the EU. For allergens, check the Andorran rules in force; the 14 allergens listed in Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 remain the reference your French and Spanish guests know. For accessibility, WCAG 2.1 AA is a sensible technical target. This is not legal advice.

Questions to ask before you sign
- Who translates and who proofreads the Catalan, Spanish and French, and at what price?
- Will the site be ready before December if you sign in October?
- Can your team change the menu alone, without an hourly invoice?
- Is the .ad or .com domain in your name and is all access handed over?
- Does the photo licence cover the web and social media?
- What happens at the end of the maintenance contract?
Mini case study
Illustrative example. Marta S. runs a 48-cover restaurant with a 16-seat private room in central Andorra la Vella. An Andorran agency offers 7,500 EUR, delivered in 9 weeks, after the slopes open. Kolonell offers Growth at 4 500 EUR in 4 weeks, with a natively written French version.
She adds a 700 EUR photo shoot on both sides. On the Kolonell side, she also orders the Catalan and Spanish translation from a local translator for 900 EUR, already included in the agency quote. Total: 8,200 EUR for the agency against 6 100 EUR for Kolonell, a 2,100 EUR difference, and a site live three weeks before the ski season.
