The verdict in three sentences
In Andorra la Vella, a website for a notary office or legal document provider costs, as a 2026 ballpark, 4 000 to 20 000 EUR with an Andorran agency, and more with a custom document upload area. Kolonell builds deed pages, document checklists, appointment requests and native French or English copy for a fixed 2 700 EUR, 4 500 EUR or 8 200 EUR, in 3 to 4 weeks on Starter and Growth. The deciding factor in Andorra is language: Catalan is the official language, foreign clients read French, Spanish or English, and Kolonell does not write in Catalan.
This version is written for the English-speaking partners and managers of notary offices and legal service providers in Andorra la Vella; the French version is the reference.
What should an Andorran notary office website do?
Andorra has a Latin-type notariat: the notary is a public officer who authenticates deeds and keeps them. As everywhere this model exists, professional rules limit the commercial tone: no promises, no comparisons with other notaries, clear information on deeds, documents and appointment arrangements. The site informs; it does not sell. Check with the notarial body what can be published, particularly about fees.
The capital's client base is unusual. It includes French and Spanish buyers of apartments in Andorra la Vella, Escaldes-Engordany or the mountain parishes, people settling under passive or active residence, foreign investors setting up a company, and families dealing with an estate spread across Andorra, France and Spain. Many discover the Andorran notariat online, from Toulouse, Perpignan, Barcelona or London, before booking an appointment.
The content that matters:
- One page per deed: property sale, company formation, power of attorney, will, gift, with the documents to bring.
- A path for non-residents: what to prepare before travelling, how the signing works, usual lead times.
- Documents for use abroad: legalisation and apostille, with a pointer to the competent authority.
- Appointment booking through a third-party tool (Calendly, Acuity or similar), and secure document upload.
- Four expected languages: Catalan, French, Spanish, English.
What do an Andorran agency, a freelancer and Kolonell cost?
These ranges are prudent ballparks, not official figures. They draw on public rate cards of agencies in the Principality and nearby cities (Barcelona, Toulouse), minimum project sizes on Clutch.co profiles, published hourly rates and rates visible on Malt and Upwork.
| Criterion | Andorran agency | Local freelancer | Kolonell |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build cost, 2026 ballpark | 4 000 to 20 000 EUR | 1 500 to 6 000 EUR | 2 700 EUR / 4 500 EUR / 8 200 EUR, fixed |
| Work outside scope | Often 50 to 90 EUR per hour | Often 35 to 60 EUR per hour | Quoted before any work |
| Usual timeline | 6 to 12 weeks | 4 to 8 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks, Premium usually 4 to 6 |
| Catalan and Spanish copy | Often included | Depends on the profile | Supplied by you or quoted separately |
| Native French copy | Depends on the agency | Rarely included | Included, or native English |
| Office photos | Shoot often offered | Sometimes | Not included: local photographer or existing photos |
| Ownership | Check the contract | Check the contract | Domain in your name, all access handed over |
An Andorran agency brings proximity and native Catalan, two real advantages. Kolonell brings a fixed price, native French or English copy for foreign clients and a project manager with a written update every week. Tier details are on our international offer.
Payment by bank transfer or Wise, 50 % to start, 50 % at delivery. The team is based in Senegal (GMT), one to two hours behind Andorra depending on the season, so Google Meet calls are scheduled at your time. No in-person meetings, no on-site shoots. Kolonell has already delivered a site of this kind: TR Signing Group, a notary and apostille service in New Jersey, with a bilingual FR/EN site, quote requests checked file by file, appointment scheduling, live chat and a back office.
What is the three-year cost of a Catalan and French site?
Scenario: an office that wants a Catalan and French site, one page per deed and a secure third-party tool to receive documents. Kolonell maintenance after the support period is quoted on request, so the table uses the same maintenance assumption on both sides.
| Item over 36 months | Andorran agency (mid range) | Kolonell Premium |
|---|---|---|
| Bilingual site build | 11 000 EUR, Catalan included | 8 200 EUR |
| Catalan copy | Included | Supplied by you or quoted separately, assumption 1 400 EUR |
| Support after launch | Depends on contract | 6 months included |
| Maintenance (same assumption) | 110 EUR per month over 30 months, 3 300 EUR | 3 300 EUR, quoted on request |
| 5 deed pages added | 5 hours at 75 EUR, 375 EUR | Quoted beforehand, assumption 500 EUR |
| Secure third-party upload tool | 30 EUR per month, 1 080 EUR | Same subscription, 1 080 EUR |
| Indicative total | 15 755 EUR | 14 480 EUR |
The gap stays moderate: 1 275 EUR over three years. If the office wants a Catalan site first, a local agency is often the simplest choice; if the priority is French and English-speaking clients, Kolonell makes sense. These figures frame the comparison; they do not replace a quote.
What does each tier include for a notary office?
| Item | Starter 2 700 EUR | Growth 4 500 EUR | Premium 8 200 EUR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deed pages | Main families (property, companies, family) | One page per deed with required documents | Structure by deed and profile (resident, non-resident, company) |
| Appointment request | Simple form | Form per deed, no identity document | Flow per deed, linked to your upload tool |
| Calendar | Link to your calendar | Third-party calendar integrated | Integration per notary and per staff member |
| Guide for non-residents | One page | One page per step | Full guide with downloadable documents |
| Indicative fees | General page if allowed | Per deed if allowed | Per deed with public charges shown separately, if allowed |
| Languages | One language | One language | Bilingual structure, Catalan or Spanish supplied by you or quoted separately |
| Support | 3 months | 3 months | 6 months |
A client area for tracking files is a custom application, quoted on request, as is ongoing search work.

Which rules apply online?
- Data protection: Andorra has its own qualified law on personal data protection (Law 29/2021), close to GDPR principles, supervised by the Andorran data protection agency. If you target clients living in the European Union, the GDPR may also apply.
- Identity documents: minimal forms, upload through a secure tool, never by plain email, retention period stated.
- Language: Catalan is the official language; check the language obligations that apply to your communication.
- Professional rules: objective information, no comparisons or promises, fees published only where the rules allow it.
- Accessibility: WCAG 2.1 AA remains a sound technical reference.
This is not legal advice.
Which red flags should you watch for in quotes?
- A form asking for a passport attachment without saying where it is stored.
- Copy with an advertising tone that does not fit the role of a public officer.
- A machine-translated Catalan version with no review.
- A domain registered in the supplier's name.
- A back office described as included with no written scope.
Mini case study
Illustrative example. Laura C., business development manager at a seven-person notary office in Andorra la Vella, notices that half of first contacts come from France, often for a property purchase or a move under passive residence. A local agency offers 9 500 EUR for a Catalan and French site delivered in 10 weeks. Kolonell offers Growth at 4 500 EUR in French, with an Andorran photographer booked for 500 EUR.
Kolonell total: 5 000 EUR, 4 500 EUR less than the agency. The office keeps its existing Catalan page until a bilingual Premium structure the following year, with Catalan copy written in-house.
