The verdict in three sentences
In Andorra la Vella, an interior design studio website built by an Andorran agency costs, as a 2026 ballpark, 3 000 to 12 000 EUR, and many studios also ask agencies in Barcelona or Toulouse, which charge more. Kolonell delivers the portfolio, the service pages and a qualified project brief form for a fixed 2 700 EUR, 4 500 EUR or 8 200 EUR, with native French or English copy, in 3 to 4 weeks on Starter and Growth. The real Andorran challenge is the number of languages: Catalan, Spanish and sometimes Portuguese are supplied by you or quoted separately, while a local agency often builds them in.
This version is written for the English-speaking founders and partners of interior design studios in Andorra la Vella.
What does a site cost in Andorra, in Barcelona or with Kolonell?
Sources for these ranges: public rate cards of Andorran and Catalan agencies, minimum project sizes on Clutch.co profiles, hourly rates published by agencies in the Principality and in Barcelona (often 45 to 85 EUR per hour excluding IGI or VAT) and rates visible on Upwork, Malt and Fiverr. They are orders of magnitude.
| Criterion | Agency in Andorra | Agency in Barcelona | Freelancer | Kolonell |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Build cost, 2026 ballpark | 3 000 to 12 000 EUR | 5 000 to 20 000 EUR | 1 200 to 4 000 EUR | 2 700 EUR / 4 500 EUR / 8 200 EUR, fixed |
| Catalan and Spanish | Often included | Included | Depends on the profile | Supplied by you or quoted separately |
| Photos of chalets and interiors | Sometimes through a partner | Sometimes, plus travel costs | Rarely | Not included: your photos or a local photographer |
| Project page copy | Often an extra | Often included | Rarely | Included, in French or English |
| Usual timeline | 6 to 10 weeks | 8 to 12 weeks | 4 to 8 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks, Premium usually 4 to 6 |
| Support | Separate contract | Separate contract | Case by case | 3 months, 6 on Premium |
| Ownership | Check | Check | Check | Domain in your name, all access handed over |
An Andorran agency has real advantages: office meetings, four languages, knowledge of the parish councils and developers. Kolonell does no in-person meetings and no shoots. What we bring is a single project manager, written copy for every page, a fixed price in writing and the handover of every access. Payment is by bank transfer or Wise, 50 % at kickoff and 50 % at delivery. The team is based in Senegal (GMT), 1 hour behind you in winter and 2 in summer, so Google Meet calls fit your office hours, with a written update every week. Full details on our international website offer.
How much over three years, languages included?
The table applies the same maintenance assumption and the same photo budget on both sides. The language line weighs more here than elsewhere.
| Item over 36 months | Andorran agency (mid range) | Kolonell Growth |
|---|---|---|
| Website build | 7 000 EUR | 4 500 EUR |
| Catalan and Spanish versions | 1 500 EUR (assumption) | Supplied by you, assumption 1 200 EUR with a translator |
| Maintenance (same assumption) | 85 EUR per month over 33 months, 2 805 EUR | 2 805 EUR, maintenance quoted on request |
| Photos of 5 projects, summer and winter | 3 500 EUR | 3 500 EUR |
| Adding projects later | 6 hours at 70 EUR, 420 EUR | Quoted beforehand, assumption 450 EUR |
| Indicative total | 15 225 EUR | 12 455 EUR |
The 2 770 EUR gap shrinks quickly if you add Portuguese or if the local agency includes an extra language. Ask every supplier to fill in the same table, language line included.
What does each tier include for an Andorran studio?
| Item | Starter 2 700 EUR | Growth 4 500 EUR | Premium 8 200 EUR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portfolio | Up to 6 projects | One page per project: chalet, restored borda, apartment, shop | Filters by type, parish and style |
| Services | Design and fit-out | One page per service: full renovation, furnishing, pre-sale home staging, site supervision with partner craftspeople | Full structure, fee models explained |
| Project brief | Simple form | Qualified form: parish, size, budget, timing, main or second home, photos of the space | Separate journeys for residents and investors |
| Social | Instagram and Pinterest links | Embedded Instagram, Pinterest and Houzz feeds | Optimised WebP/AVIF gallery, before and after |
| Bilingual FR/EN site | No | No | Included |
| Timeline | 3 to 4 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks | Written schedule, usually 4 to 6 weeks |
| Support | 3 months | 3 months | 6 months |
A client area to follow a renovation or approve boards is a custom application quoted on request.
What does the Andorran market need?
A studio in Andorra la Vella serves long-standing residents, new residents from Spain, France and further afield, owners of second homes near the Grandvalira and Pal Arinsal ski areas, mountain hoteliers and shops on Avinguda Meritxell. Projects range from an apartment in Escaldes-Engordany to a restored stone borda in Ordino or La Massana.
- Mountain materials: stone, timber, slate, insulation and snow; show how you reconcile heritage with modern comfort.
- Planning rules: each parish (comú) has its own rules; present your coordination with the architect and craftspeople without promising any permit timeline.
- Two seasons: a chalet sells on winter and summer photos, so plan both in the portfolio.
- Languages: French and English for many new residents, Catalan and Spanish for the local market, Portuguese depending on your teams.
- Fees: fixed fee, percentage of the works budget or hourly rate; explain the logic, with no figure if you prefer the first call.

Compliance, factually: Andorra applies Law 29/2021 on the protection of personal data, supervised by the Andorran Data Protection Agency, and the Principality has had a European Commission adequacy decision since 2010. If you handle clients living in the EU, GDPR may also apply. Keep the form minimal. Photos of private homes can reveal an address or faces: blur them and get the owner's written consent. Check the photographer's web licence. Andorra is not an EU member, so the European Accessibility Act does not apply automatically; WCAG 2.1 AA remains a good reference, starting with alt text on images. The architect title is regulated; for interior designer, check with the local professional association. This is not legal advice.
Questions to ask before signing
- Who translates and proofreads Catalan and Spanish, and at what price per page?
- Is the .ad or .com domain registered in your name?
- Are photos compressed to WebP/AVIF, with a target weight per page?
- What does adding a project cost after launch?
- Does the quote state how long support lasts and what it covers?
Mini case study
Illustrative example. Marc and Núria, partners in a four-person studio in Escaldes-Engordany, restore bordas and chalets for new French- and English-speaking residents. A Barcelona agency quotes them 14 000 EUR in four languages. They pick Kolonell Premium at 8 200 EUR for the bilingual FR/EN site and give Catalan and Spanish to a translator for 1 300 EUR, a total of 9 500 EUR. The gap is 4 500 EUR; in exchange, they proofread both languages themselves and book a photographer for two finished projects, at 700 EUR each.
FAQ
Does Kolonell write in Catalan?
No, native copy is in French or English. Catalan, Spanish or Portuguese are supplied by you or quoted separately; assume 600 to 1 200 EUR per language for a 10-page site.
Is an Andorran agency a better fit?
Often, if you want office meetings and four languages in a single quote. Kolonell suits you if you work mainly in French and English and want a fixed price from 2 700 EUR.
Should chalets be photographed in winter?
It helps: the same project in winter and summer doubles the interest of the page. Kolonell does no shoots; budget roughly 600 to 900 EUR per session with a local photographer.
How long until launch?
3 to 4 weeks on Starter and Growth, usually 4 to 6 weeks on Premium. Translations should arrive by week three at the latest.
How do I pay?
By bank transfer or Wise: 50 % at kickoff, 50 % at delivery. Support lasts 3 months, 6 on Premium.
