Interior design studio website cost in Gibraltar: local agencies vs Kolonell (2026)

The verdict in three sentences

In Gibraltar, an interior design studio website built by a local agency costs, as a 2026 order of magnitude, between 4 000 and 15 000 GBP, and agencies and freelancers on the Costa del Sol, across the frontier, are often as cheap as or cheaper than Kolonell. Kolonell builds the portfolio, services pages and qualified project enquiry at a fixed price of 2 300, 3 900 or 6 900 GBP, with native English copy and a project manager, but a Spanish version must be supplied by you or priced separately. The right choice depends on the three-year total, the language of your clients and whether you need on-site photography, which Kolonell does not do.

What do Gibraltar agencies, Costa del Sol suppliers and Kolonell charge?

These ranges are cautious. They draw on public rate cards from Gibraltar and Andalusian agencies, minimum project sizes on Clutch.co, hourly rates published by agencies (often 60 to 100 GBP an hour in Gibraltar) and rates shown on Upwork, Malt or Fiverr. Spanish suppliers bill in euros, so we give the approximate sterling equivalent.

If your site mainly needs to speak Spanish to Andalusian clients, a Costa del Sol supplier is often the most logical fit. If your clients are English-speaking high-net-worth residents, yacht owners and gaming or insurance businesses, the quality of the English and the clarity of project pages matter more. Payment is by bank transfer or Wise, 50 % at kick-off and 50 % on delivery, and plan details are on our international website offer. The team works on GMT, one hour behind Gibraltar in winter and two in summer: Google Meet calls are set at your time, with a written update every week.

Which three-year cost should you compare?

Assumption: the same maintenance budget on both sides, since Kolonell maintenance after the support period is quoted separately.

An Andalusian freelancer can come in under both totals. In that case, compare what is included: copywriting, project management, domain ownership, support.

What does each plan include for a Gibraltar studio?

For multilingual work, Kolonell has delivered the trilingual FR/EN/AR site of Orven Properties (orvenproperties.com), an off-plan real estate advisory in Dubai. A private client area or an online furniture selection tool is a custom application quoted separately, as is ongoing SEO.

What does a Gibraltar interior design studio need online?

The territory has a little over 30 000 residents, but a studio's client base reaches well beyond that: high-net-worth residents settled under the Category 2 residence scheme, gaming, insurance and finance executives, owners of apartments in recent waterfront schemes such as Ocean Village, Kings Wharf or Midtown, older flats in the Old Town, and villas in Sotogrande or along the Costa del Sol. Add yacht interiors in the marinas, where the work is an interior refresh rather than a shipyard job.

• Project pages built around local constraints: small floor plans, bay views, salt air and Levanter humidity, fabrics and finishes that hold up.
• Discretion by design: many clients refuse to have their address or face shown, so plan anonymous project pages.
• A qualified project enquiry: budget, floor area, location (Gibraltar, Spain, on board), timeline, photos.
• A fast gallery in WebP or AVIF, since Instagram and Houzz are the first entry points.
• A web licence from the photographer and written consent from the owner of each space.

On compliance, a few general markers. The Old Town includes protected buildings and works go through the Development and Planning Commission: mention the consents obtained without giving advice. The title “interior designer” is not, to our knowledge, protected; check with the local professional association or the BIID. Data protection falls under the Gibraltar GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2004, overseen by the Gibraltar Regulatory Authority; for Spanish clients, the EU GDPR may also apply. Add alt text to every image, with WCAG 2.2 AA as the accessibility benchmark. This is not legal advice.

Which questions should you ask before signing?

• Who writes the English and Spanish copy, and who signs it off?
• Is the .gi or .com domain registered in your name?
• Can project pages be anonymous without breaking the layout?
• How heavy is the gallery on a phone on 4G from La Línea?
• What does one extra project page cost a year from now?
• Can the maintenance contract be ended without a penalty?

Mini case study

Illustrative example. Marco D. runs a three-person studio in Gibraltar: apartments at Kings Wharf, two villas in Sotogrande and yacht interior refreshes. He gets three offers. A Gibraltar agency asks 10 000 GBP, Spanish included. A Marbella freelancer asks 3 200 EUR, about 2 750 GBP, without English copywriting; Marco would need a copywriter at around 700 GBP, so 3 450 GBP in total. Kolonell proposes Growth at 3 900 GBP plus 900 GBP of Spanish translation from a translator he picks, so 4 800 GBP.

The freelancer is therefore the cheapest, 1 350 GBP below Kolonell, and the agency the most expensive, 5 200 GBP above. Marco picks Kolonell for the fixed price, the English yacht write-ups and the project manager, while accepting that the Andalusian offer was a reasonable one.
