The verdict in three sentences
In Andorra la Vella, a private or international school website built by an Andorran or Barcelona agency costs, as a 2026 order of magnitude, between 4 000 and 16 000 EUR, often with Catalan and Spanish included. Kolonell builds the admissions pages and the enquiry journey at a fixed price of 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 EUR, with a bilingual French and English version from Premium, but we do not write Catalan or Spanish. For a small school that needs four languages, the three-year gap is modest and a local agency can be the right choice: the calculation below helps you decide.
This version is written for the English-speaking heads and admissions leads of private schools in Andorra la Vella; the figures and tables match the French version.
What do Andorran and Catalan suppliers and Kolonell charge?
These ranges are cautious orders of magnitude, not official figures. They rest on public price lists of agencies in the Principality and Catalonia, minimum project sizes shown on Clutch.co profiles of Barcelona and Toulouse agencies, published hourly rates (often 50 to 90 EUR an hour for an agency) and rates visible on Malt and Upwork. The Andorran market is small: many schools and businesses in the Principality work with suppliers from Barcelona, La Seu d'Urgell or south-west France.
| Criterion | Andorran or Barcelona agency | Regional freelancer | Kolonell |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build, 2026 order of magnitude | 4 000 to 16 000 EUR and more | 1 200 to 5 000 EUR | 2 700 / 4 500 / 8 200 EUR, fixed price |
| Languages included | Often Catalan, Spanish, French | Depends on the person | Native French or English; FR/EN from Premium |
| Out-of-scope changes | Often 50 to 90 EUR an hour | Often 30 to 60 EUR an hour | Additions quoted before work starts |
| Usual timeline | 6 to 12 weeks | 4 to 10 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks, Premium usually 4 to 6 |
| Photos and filming at school | Often offered as an option | Sometimes | Not included: your photos or a local photographer |
| On-site meetings | Yes | Often | No, Google Meet calls at your hour |
| Support after launch | Separate contract | Case by case | 3 months, 6 in Premium |
Kolonell brings a project manager reachable in your time zone, a written update every week, copy written in native French or English, a written fixed price and full ownership: the domain in the school's name and every access handed over. The team is based in Senegal (GMT), one to two hours behind Andorra depending on the season. Payment is by bank transfer or Wise, 50 % at kick-off and 50 % on delivery. Details are on our international websites page.
What does the website really cost over three years with four languages?
An Andorran school often targets Catalan, Spanish, French and English-speaking families. Here we compare an agency's multilingual site with Kolonell Premium (French and English), completed by a professional Catalan and Spanish translation ordered by the school. Maintenance after the support period is a shared assumption of 100 EUR a month, since Kolonell maintenance is quoted on request.
| Item over 36 months | Agency (four-language site, mid-range) | Kolonell Premium |
|---|---|---|
| Website build | 11 000 EUR | 8 200 EUR |
| Catalan and Spanish translation | Included | Local translator, 1 400 EUR |
| Support included | 3 months depending on contract | 6 months included |
| Maintenance (shared assumption, 100 EUR a month) | 33 months, 3 300 EUR | 30 months, 3 000 EUR |
| Yearly updates (fees, calendar, activities) | 6 hours at 75 EUR, 450 EUR | Quoted before work, assumption 400 EUR |
| Half-day photo session at school | 700 EUR | Local photographer, 700 EUR |
| Indicative total | 15 450 EUR | 13 700 EUR |
The indicative gap is 1 750 EUR, far smaller than in a large European city. If your school only needs French or only English, the Growth plan at 4 500 EUR changes the picture significantly. Ask suppliers to fill in this same table.
What does each plan include for a small Andorran school?
| Element | Starter 2 700 EUR | Growth 4 500 EUR | Premium 8 200 EUR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stages | One general page | One page per stage (nursery, primary, lower secondary) | Full structure, activities, boarding if any |
| Admissions | Enquiry form | Enquiry form, fees page, open day sign-up | Step-by-step journey, mid-year arrivals |
| Languages | One language | One language | French and English; other languages supplied or quoted |
| School management software | Link to your tool | Integration of the chosen tool | Careful integration; custom parent portal on request |
| Teacher recruitment | Simple section | Vacancies page | Vacancies page with application route |
| Timeline | 3 to 4 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks | Written plan, usually 4 to 6 weeks |
A custom parent portal, online fee payment or an intranet is a custom application quoted on request, as is ongoing search engine work.
Why is an Andorran private school website a special case?
In Andorra three free public education systems coexist: Andorran, French and Spanish. A private school must therefore explain within seconds what it adds: English-medium teaching, small classes, bilingual teaching, support for families settling in. Its families include long-standing residents and a growing number of recent arrivals holding residence permits, managers in retail, finance and tourism, athletes and entrepreneurs who work remotely.
- A page that clearly positions your project against the public options, without criticising anyone.
- Pathways: how a pupil later joins the French or Spanish system or an international track. Only mention a programme (IB, IGCSE, French baccalauréat) if the school actually delivers it.
- Mid-year arrivals, frequent among families who move once their residence is granted, with the list of required documents.
- Transport from the parishes: Escaldes-Engordany, Encamp, La Massana or Sant Julià de Lòria, and mountain winters.
- Activities tied to the setting: skiing, mountains, sport, shown with photos whose rights are clear.
- Catalan: the Principality's official language deserves at least a version of the key pages; have your obligations checked for your situation.
On compliance, Andorra is not an EU member and has its own qualified law on personal data protection (Law 29/2021), close to the GDPR and supervised by the Andorran Data Protection Agency. Admissions forms should collect only what is needed, and pupil photos require written parental consent. WCAG 2.1 AA is the technical reference for accessibility. Display only accreditations the school actually holds. This is not legal advice.

Which questions should you ask before signing?
- Which languages are written, and by whom? An unreviewed machine translation is obvious to a Catalan-speaking parent.
- Is the .ad or .com domain registered in the school's name?
- Does the quote list every page and integration?
- How are photo consents and image withdrawals handled?
- What does a yearly fees or calendar update cost?
- Can the site move to another supplier without exit fees?
Mini case study
Illustrative example. Mireia F., head of a 160-pupil English and Catalan bilingual private school (nursery and primary) near Andorra la Vella, is preparing admissions for the September intake. A Barcelona agency proposes a four-language site at 12 400 EUR in 10 weeks. Kolonell proposes Premium at 8 200 EUR in French and English, in 5 weeks, and Mireia hands Catalan and Spanish to a local translator for 1 400 EUR, plus 700 EUR of photos taken during a morning covered by parental consents.
Build, languages and photos: 13 100 EUR with the agency against 10 300 EUR with Kolonell, a 2 800 EUR gap. Mireia notes that the agency can come to the school and handles Catalan without an intermediary, two real advantages. She chooses Kolonell for the timeline and the fixed price, and keeps the agency in mind if the school adds a lower secondary with boarding.
