The verdict in three sentences
In Andorra la Vella, a venture-funded startup's marketing site costs, as a 2026 ballpark, 5 000 to 25 000 EUR with an Andorran agency or a studio in Barcelona or Toulouse, and 2 000 to 7 000 EUR with a freelancer. Kolonell delivers the product, careers and press pages for a fixed 2 700 EUR, 4 500 EUR or 8 200 EUR, with native French or English copy and a bilingual FR/EN site from the Premium tier. The Catalan version must be supplied by you or quoted separately, and Kolonell does no on-site shoot and no in-person meeting: if you want a partner who drives up to Escaldes-Engordany for a workshop, a local agency is the better fit.
This version is written for the English-speaking founders of startups based in Andorra la Vella, with the same figures as the French original.
What do agencies, freelancers and Kolonell charge an Andorran startup?
The Andorran market is small: many founders compare agencies in the Principality with studios in Barcelona, Toulouse or Perpignan. The ranges below rest on public rate cards of agencies in the region, minimum project sizes shown on Clutch.co for Catalonia and Occitanie, published hourly rates (often 50 to 90 EUR per hour at agencies) and Webflow or WordPress profiles on Malt and Upwork.
| Criterion | Agency (Andorra or Barcelona) | Freelancer | Kolonell |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marketing site, 2026 ballpark | 5 000 to 25 000 EUR | 2 000 to 7 000 EUR | 2 700 EUR / 4 500 EUR / 8 200 EUR, fixed |
| Languages | Catalan, Spanish, French often possible | Depends on the person | Native FR and EN; Catalan and Spanish supplied or quoted |
| Product page copy | Often optional | Rarely | Included |
| Usual timeline | 6 to 12 weeks | 3 to 8 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks, Premium usually 4 to 6 |
| Support after launch | Separate contract | Case by case | 3 months, 6 on Premium |
| On-site meetings and photos | Yes | Sometimes | No |
| Domain ownership | To check | To check | In your name, all access handed over |
Put simply: a local freelancer who works in Catalan is a real asset if your customers are Andorran. Kolonell fits better when your market is international, your buyers read French or English, and you want a fixed written price with a project lead. The team is based in Senegal (GMT): Andorra is 1 hour ahead in winter and 2 in summer, so Google Meet calls slot easily into your hours, with a written update every week. Payment by bank transfer or Wise, 50 % at kickoff, 50 % at delivery. Details on our international website offer.
What budget should you plan over three years?
The table compares a Growth site with an identical maintenance assumption for all three options (33 months after the 3 months of included support). Kolonell maintenance is quoted on request, so this line stays an assumption.
| Item over 36 months | Agency | Freelancer | Kolonell Growth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build | 14 000 EUR | 4 500 EUR | 4 500 EUR |
| Maintenance (same assumption) | 90 EUR per month, 2 970 EUR | 2 970 EUR | 2 970 EUR |
| Hosting and CMS | 28 EUR per month, 1 008 EUR | 1 008 EUR | 1 008 EUR |
| Added pages (new offer, launch post) | 12 hours at 75 EUR, 900 EUR | 12 hours at 50 EUR, 600 EUR | Quoted beforehand, assumption 700 EUR |
| Indicative total | 18 878 EUR | 9 078 EUR | 9 178 EUR |
The freelancer and Kolonell end up neck and neck, within 100 EUR. The choice therefore rests on scope: copywriting, project management, support written into the contract. Use this table to read your quotes, not as a predicted invoice.
What does each tier include for an Andorran startup?
| Item | Starter 2 700 EUR | Growth 4 500 EUR | Premium 8 200 EUR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Product home page | Value proposition, supplied screenshots | Embedded demo video, approved social proof | Journeys per customer segment |
| Features | One page | Pages per feature and use case | Full structure with integrations |
| Careers | Simple page | Culture and openings, link to Personio or Workable | Pages per team, candidate journey |
| Press and investors | Press contact | Press kit | Investor page (only those you may name) |
| Demo | Form | Form connected to HubSpot or Pipedrive | Qualification by profile |
| Languages | One language | One language | Bilingual FR/EN |
| Support | 3 months | 3 months | 6 months |
The product platform, the customer area or the mobile app are custom applications, quoted on request. Kolonell builds the marketing site, not the software.
What do startups in Andorra la Vella specifically need?
The Andorran economy rests on mountain tourism, retail and banking, and for several years the Principality has attracted digital entrepreneurs and creators settling under active residency. The startup ecosystem remains small, and it is fair to say so: few local funds, public support for innovation, and founders who often raise from business angels or from Spanish, French or international funds.
- A multilingual audience: Catalan is the official language, Spanish and French are widely used, English serves investors. Pick a main language and only translate the pages that matter.
- Tourism and the mountains: many products target ski resorts, hotels or shops. Show real screens and seasonal use cases.
- Credibility beyond the border: a buyer in Lyon or Madrid must understand on one page where the company is, who founded it and how to book a demo.
- Hiring: attracting tech profiles to a small country calls for a clear careers page on lifestyle, remote work and residency steps (kept general, pointing to official sources).
- A simple CMS: Webflow, Sanity or headless WordPress, so you publish your announcements yourself.
Compliance, factually. Andorra has its own qualified Law 29/2021 on personal data protection, inspired by the GDPR and supervised by the Andorran Data Protection Agency, and benefits from a European Commission adequacy decision. If you target EU residents, the GDPR may apply as well. Andorra is not an EU member, but aim for WCAG 2.1 or 2.2 AA if you sell to European customers subject to the European Accessibility Act. Plan a consent banner for analytics cookies. This is not legal advice.

Which red flags should you watch for in a quote?
- A Catalan or Spanish translation 'included' with no named translator and no proofreading.
- The .ad or .com domain registered in the agency's name.
- No page list, no number of revision rounds.
- A promise of first-page rankings or a number of demos.
- A mandatory subscription that locks the site in with the supplier.
Mini case study
Illustrative example. Laia R. is the solo founder of a pre-seed startup, backed by two business angels, that publishes instructor scheduling software for ski schools. She wants a site ready before the winter season opens, to approach schools in France and Spain. A Barcelona agency quotes 19 000 EUR for a trilingual site in 10 weeks.
She chooses Kolonell Premium at 8 200 EUR for a bilingual FR/EN site and books a local photographer at a resort for 600 EUR. She will write the Catalan page herself, integrated later on a quote. Total: 8 200 + 600 = 8 800 EUR, or 10 200 EUR less than the agency, without Catalan at launch. Had her market been purely Andorran, a Catalan-speaking freelancer would have made more sense.
