Website redesign for a private or international school in Andorra la Vella: budget, timeline and risks (2026)

The verdict in three sentences

In 2026, redesigning a private or international school website in Andorra la Vella typically costs EUR 5,000 to 14,000 with an Andorran agency (ballpark from typical local quotes), against EUR 2,700, 4,500 or 8,200 on the Kolonell fixed grid, delivered in 3 to 4 weeks once content is ready. The most underestimated item is privacy: a cookie banner that genuinely blocks tags, a privacy notice for parents and pupils, and a retention period for admissions enquiries. A successful redesign also keeps the traffic of the admissions, curriculum and open day pages through a URL inventory, 301 redirects and six weeks of Search Console checks.

Which signals show it is time to redesign?

Andorra has three education systems side by side (Andorran, French and Spanish), and Andorran, foreign resident and cross-border families often compare several schools across Andorra la Vella, Escaldes-Engordany and La Massana. English-speaking families in particular need a site that is as clear in English as in Catalan. The most common signals:

• Catalan, French, Spanish or English versions are not all current, or one language leads to empty pages;
• the cookie banner lets analytics and advertising pixels load before the visitor chooses;
• the admissions form asks for unnecessary information (school reports, health, ID documents);
• years of enquiries sit in a mailbox or a CMS plugin with no deletion rule;
• policies and the child protection policy are scanned PDFs, unreadable on mobile and by screen readers.

Two of these signals usually justify a redesign rather than a patch.

What budget should you plan in Andorra la Vella?

Kolonell prices include a project manager reachable in your time zone, native English or French copywriting and 3 months of support. Details are on the international offer page. On quote, as separate lines: the admissions portal, fee payment, the school management system (SIS), the parent app and calendar feeds, all kept and linked from the new site.

Privacy and cookies: what must the redesign deliver?

Andorra has a qualified law on personal data protection (Law 29/2021) and a supervisory authority, the Andorran Data Protection Agency. Have the choices below validated by your adviser: this is not legal advice.

No health, SEN, school report, passport or custody data goes through an open form: those documents travel through a secure admissions portal, on quote. Pupil photos need documented parental consent and a removal procedure on request.

What timeline, and which risks?

The typical schedule, once texts are approved:

• Week 1: audit, inventory of indexed URLs, 301 redirect map, list of existing trackers.
• Weeks 1 to 2: design and templates (admissions, curriculum, open days, policies).
• Weeks 2 to 3: build, migration of Catalan, French, Spanish and English content as set in the quote, links to portals.
• Weeks 3 to 4: WCAG 2.2 AA checks, consent tests, compliance review of marketing content, go-live.
• 6 weeks after: Search Console monitoring of admissions and curriculum pages.

The main risks: traffic loss if a URL disappears without a redirect, curricula or recognitions displayed beyond what the school actually holds, broken links to the SIS, and downtime during a sensitive period. Aim for late June or July, outside the admissions peak, open days and exams, and outside the ski season if your team is busy. Child protection pages remain the school's own documents, approved by the school.

When is an Andorran agency the better choice?

A local agency is preferable if you want regular workshops at the school, continuous Catalan proofreading by an on-site team, or video shoots throughout the year. Questions to ask any provider: who actually blocks trackers before consent? Where are enquiries stored and for how long? Who writes the 301 map? Which languages are in the price?

Mini case study

Illustrative example. Núria heads École bilingue Pic Blanc (a fictional name), about 250 pupils taught in two languages, in Escaldes-Engordany. Her site keeps every admissions enquiry from the last 7 years, about 220 a year, so 7 x 220 = 1,540 records. With a 12-month deletion rule set by the school, the database holds about 220 records, 86% less data to protect.

Budget: Kolonell Premium at EUR 8,200 (Catalan, French, Spanish and English, languages set in the quote), plus an independent translator to proofread the Catalan, a third-party cost estimated at EUR 900, giving EUR 9,100. Against a hypothetical local quote of EUR 13,500, the gap is EUR 4,400. Hosting and maintenance after the 3 included months are on quote at Kolonell; Núria uses a market assumption of EUR 120 a month for her budget. Go-live is planned for early July.

FAQ

How much does a school website redesign cost in Andorra la Vella?

Expect EUR 5,000 to 14,000 with an Andorran agency in 2026. The Kolonell grid is EUR 2,700, 4,500 or 8,200, with portals and integrations on quote.

Is our current cookie banner enough?

Often not: on many sites analytics load before the choice. Test in a clean browser: no tracker should fire before the click, and refusing should take 1 click, like accepting.

How long should we keep admissions enquiries?

The school sets the period with its adviser. A common rule is deletion 12 months after the last contact if the child does not enrol.

Can we publish in four languages?

Yes, with Premium at EUR 8,200, the multilingual tier, languages set in the quote. A language goes live only if someone keeps it current.

How long does the redesign take?

3 to 4 weeks once content is approved, followed by 6 weeks of Search Console monitoring.
