The verdict in three sentences
In Gibraltar, an immigration and relocation firm website built by a local agency costs, as a 2026 ballpark, between 5 000 and 20 000 GBP, and Costa del Sol studios often quote lower, in euros. Kolonell builds the residency pages, the relocation pages and the enquiry journey for a fixed price of 2 300, 3 900 or 6 900 GBP, in 3 to 4 weeks on Starter and Growth. For a client base of online gaming and insurance executives and wealthy new residents, what matters is the 3-year total cost, how the Spanish version is handled and how discreet the forms are.
How do Gibraltar, Costa del Sol and Kolonell quotes compare?
The Rock has few web agencies, and many firms also ask studios in Málaga, Marbella or Sotogrande. The ranges below are prudent ballparks drawn from public rate cards of agencies in Gibraltar and Andalusia, minimum project sizes on Clutch.co and rates shown on Upwork and Malt. On the Spanish side, expect 3 000 to 15 000 EUR, roughly 2 600 to 13 000 GBP.
| Criterion | Gibraltar agency | Costa del Sol studio | Freelancer | Kolonell |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Build, 2026 ballpark | 5 000 to 20 000 GBP | Roughly 2 600 to 13 000 GBP | 1 500 to 6 000 GBP | 2 300 GBP / 3 900 GBP / 6 900 GBP, fixed |
| Published hourly rate | Often 70 to 110 GBP | Often 40 to 80 EUR | Often 30 to 60 GBP | Changes quoted beforehand |
| Usual timeline | 6 to 12 weeks | 5 to 10 weeks | 4 to 10 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks, Premium usually 4 to 6 |
| On-site meetings | Yes | Often, across the border | Sometimes | No, Google Meet calls |
| Native English copy | Yes | Variable | Variable | Included, English or French |
| Spanish version | Often offered | Native | Variable | Supplied by you or quoted separately |
| Support after launch | Separate contract | Separate contract | Case by case | 3 months, 6 on Premium |
An Andalusian studio can therefore come in below Growth, and it writes Spanish natively, which is a real asset. Kolonell brings a fixed price, native English copy for an international clientele and a project manager reachable at your hour: Gibraltar is 1 to 2 hours ahead of the team, which is based in Senegal (GMT). Payment by bank transfer or Wise, 50 % at kickoff and 50 % at delivery. See the international website offer.
What will the site cost you over three years?
The table assumes the same maintenance on both sides, since Kolonell maintenance after the support period is quoted on request, and the same Spanish translation of key pages.
| Item over 36 months | Gibraltar agency | Kolonell Growth |
|---|---|---|
| Build | 10 500 GBP | 3 900 GBP |
| Maintenance (same assumption) | 130 GBP per month over 33 months, 4 290 GBP | 4 290 GBP, quoted on request |
| Key pages in Spanish | 1 400 GBP | Your translator or separate quote, assumption 1 400 GBP |
| Team portraits | 700 GBP | Local photographer booked separately, 700 GBP |
| 8 pages added over 3 years | 12 hours at 90 GBP, 1 080 GBP | Quoted beforehand, assumption 800 GBP |
| Indicative total | 17 970 GBP | 11 090 GBP |
Use this grid with every supplier: the real gaps show up quickly.
Which pages does a Gibraltar firm need?
Clients split between employers (online gaming, insurance, fund management, maritime services and bunkering) bringing in executives, wealthy individuals interested in residency tax statuses such as Category 2 or HEPSS, and families looking for a home in Gibraltar or across the border in the Campo de Gibraltar. Residence permits go through the Civil Status and Registration Office, and work permits for the nationals concerned through the employment service: the site describes these steps in general terms and links to official pages, because the rules shift with relations between Gibraltar, the UK and the European Union.
Two things must be kept apart:
- Legal advice on residency and permits, given by lawyers authorised in Gibraltar, or by the firm if its members are.
- Relocation: housing in Gibraltar or Spain, schools, bank accounts, vehicle registration, the daily border crossing.
Typical pages: services by profile (transferred executive, wealthy resident, family, cross-border worker), an employer offer, practical guides, a who-does-what page, booking through a third-party tool, document upload through a secure tool, legal notices. For a multilingual site advising international investors, Kolonell built the one for Orven Properties in Dubai, in French, English and Arabic.
| Item | Starter 2 300 GBP | Growth 3 900 GBP | Premium 6 900 GBP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Residency and relocation pages | Overview | One page per profile | Full structure by profile and employer |
| Border and housing guides | 1 guide | 4 guides | Full section |
| Enquiry form | Minimal | Sorted by profile | Journey by request type |
| Bilingual FR/EN site | No | No | Included |
| Spanish | Supplied or quoted separately | Supplied or quoted separately | Supplied or quoted separately |
| Support after launch | 3 months | 3 months | 6 months |
Compliance: Gibraltar applies its own version of GDPR together with the Data Protection Act 2004, overseen by the Gibraltar Regulatory Authority. Wealth data and identity documents call for minimal forms and an accurate privacy policy; WCAG 2.1 AA is the accessibility reference. This is not legal advice.

Which questions should you ask before signing?
- Who writes the copy, and in which language? A quote without copywriting often hides weeks of delay.
- Will the .gi or .com domain be in your name?
- Where are form enquiries stored?
- Is the price of the Spanish version written down?
- Does the copy promise a status or a timeline? If so, reject that text.
Mini case study
Illustrative example. Daniel M., managing director of a five-person residency and relocation firm in Gibraltar, works with a partner law firm on applications. A local agency proposes 14 000 GBP with Spanish included, in 12 weeks. Kolonell proposes Growth at 3 900 GBP in 4 weeks, and Daniel has his translator handle the key pages for 1 200 GBP.
Build: 14 000 GBP versus 5 100 GBP, an 8 900 GBP gap. With the same 4 290 GBP maintenance on each side, the 3-year total becomes 18 290 GBP versus 9 390 GBP. Daniel keeps the local agency as an option if an investor portal becomes necessary.
