The verdict in three sentences
For a wealth management firm or family office in Andorra la Vella, the choice is not simply local versus far away but between three options: an Andorran agency, an agency in Barcelona or Toulouse, and a remote studio. The nearby agency is hard to beat for Catalan-first content, meetings in your Avinguda Meritxell office and photos shot on site; the remote studio wins on fixed price and speed when the site is mostly in English or French. At Kolonell the grid is fixed: 2 700 EUR (Starter), 4 500 EUR (Growth), 8 200 EUR (Premium), with a project manager in your time zone, delivery in 3 to 4 weeks and 3 months of support.
Why does an Andorran wealth manager's site look like no other?
The Andorran financial centre changed deeply after the automatic exchange of information: the historic banking groups, licensed wealth management companies and a handful of family offices now serve a very international clientele. Andorran families, French and Spanish residents who moved under the passive residence scheme, Latin American entrepreneurs, Benelux clients and a growing number of English-speaking newcomers all sit around the same table. Four languages cross in a single meeting: Catalan, Spanish, French and English.
The site therefore has to reassure a prospect who does not know the jurisdiction. Typical needs: a page that explains the Andorran regulatory framework and your licence in plain words, an approach and allocation page (with no performance figure that compliance has not cleared), a team page showing each partner's background and languages, an appointment form asking for preferred language and country of residence, a legal and regulatory information page, a compliant cookie banner and a link to the existing client area. Building a real client portal, with document upload or online statements, is a custom application, quoted on request.
Andorran agency, neighbouring agency or remote studio: which criteria matter?
The ranges below are a 2026 ballpark, built from public agency price pages, minimum project sizes shown on Clutch.co profiles of Barcelona and Toulouse agencies, and freelance rates published on Malt and Upwork.
| Criterion | Andorran agency | Barcelona or Toulouse agency | Kolonell (remote studio) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time zone | Same zone (UTC+1, UTC+2 in summer) | Same zone | Team based in Dakar (GMT): 1 to 2 hours apart, working days almost aligned |
| Meetings in your office | Yes, easily | Yes, with 2 to 3 hours of driving | No, video calls only |
| Copywriting languages | Catalan, Spanish, often French | Spanish and Catalan, or French | Native English or French copywriting |
| Budget for 8 to 15 pages | 5 000 to 18 000 EUR | 8 000 to 30 000 EUR | 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 EUR, fixed price |
| Ownership of the .ad domain and code | To specify in the contract | To specify in the contract | To specify in the contract, ask for it in writing |
| On-site photos and video | Yes | Yes, travel billed | No: plan a local photographer |
| Support after launch | Maintenance contract | Maintenance contract | 3 months included, then on quote |
An experienced freelancer usually publishes 35 to 75 EUR per hour, which means 2 000 to 7 000 EUR for a polished brochure site, with a real continuity question if that person is away.

Payment is by bank transfer, 50 % at kickoff and 50 % at delivery. Every tier is detailed on the international website offer.
When is it better to stay with an Andorran agency?
Stay local if the Catalan version is the reference version and must be written by native speakers, if your board wants to see printed mock-ups on the table, or if you want a photo report of the team and offices, or even a short presentation video. Kolonell does not travel and does not produce photos or videos: in those cases an Andorran or Pyrenean agency is the better choice, or a pairing of remote studio and local photographer. Stay local as well if your IT provider already hosts your email and must manage the .ad domain day to day.
Which questions should you ask before signing?
- Will the domain name and the hosting account be in your name from day one?
- Are the code and source files handed over at delivery, and in what form?
- How many validation rounds with your compliance officer are planned?
- Who writes the Catalan and Spanish versions, and who proofreads them?
- Which accessibility level is targeted and tested, WCAG 2.1 AA or 2.2 AA?
- What happens after the first three months: rate, response time, scope?

On the regulatory side, Andorra has its own Qualified Law 29/2021 on personal data protection, aligned with GDPR principles and overseen by the Andorran Data Protection Agency. The Andorran Financial Authority (AFA) licenses and supervises financial system entities, including wealth management companies, and their commercial communication must remain clear and not misleading. If you target French or Spanish residents, those countries' cross-border marketing rules may also apply. For accessibility, WCAG 2.2 AA is a practical target. This is not legal advice.

Mini case study
Illustrative example. Mireia S., partner in a four-person wealth management company in Andorra la Vella, receives a quote from a Barcelona agency: 16 000 EUR, three on-site meetings and twelve weeks. She picks Kolonell Premium at 8 200 EUR for a bilingual EN/FR site and gives the Catalan version to an Andorran translator for 900 EUR. Total: 9 100 EUR, a 6 900 EUR gap. She also saves about nine hours of driving for three round trips to Barcelona, and the site goes live in four weeks instead of twelve.
FAQ
Do we need a .ad domain name?
No, but it reassures clients who want to see the Andorran anchoring; many firms combine a .ad with a redirected .com. Expect a few dozen euros a year, registered in your name.
Is Catalan included in the 8 200 EUR Premium tier?
No. Premium covers a complete site in English and French. Catalan or Spanish goes to a translator of your choice or is quoted on request.
How much does an Andorran agency cost in 2026?
As a ballpark, 5 000 to 18 000 EUR for 8 to 15 pages, and 8 000 to 30 000 EUR for a Barcelona or Toulouse agency. Maintenance is almost always added as a monthly fee.
Can you travel for a kickoff workshop?
No. Kolonell works by video call only, with a project manager in your time zone and only 1 to 2 hours of time difference. A 90-minute video workshop is usually enough to scope a 10-page site.
Is SEO included?
The technical structure is clean at delivery in 3 to 4 weeks, but ongoing SEO support is quoted on request. No monthly package is imposed.
