How much does a website cost in Spain for a small business? The honest answer runs from €0 to several thousand, and almost all of that jump depends on one question: who looks after it once it's built? We checked the public prices of the most widely used tools on 28 September 2026 and we list them here with the date, without rounding anything in our favour. At the end we also tell you what we charge.

The three ways to get a website (and what each one costs)

Almost every neighbourhood business ends up on one of these three paths:

Build it yourself with a website builder (Wix, Squarespace, Hostinger, Google Sites). You pay a subscription and put in your own hours.
Hire a freelancer or an agency. You pay for a project, plus whatever comes after.
A platform that builds it and keeps it running for a monthly fee. That's where we sit, which is why we mention it at the end and not before.

None of them is bad. A gestoría (an accountancy and admin firm) with five services and a repair workshop with three phone numbers don't need the same thing as an architecture studio. What makes a path expensive isn't the first month's price, it's what never shows up on the invoice: your hours, the renewal, and the day something breaks and nobody knows how to fix it.

How much a website costs with a builder (real prices, September 2026)

These are the prices the companies themselves publish on their Spanish websites, checked on 28 September 2026:

Tool	Entry plan	Conditions
Wix	Light, €14/month	Paid annually upfront; tax on top
Squarespace	Basic, €12/month	Paid annually
Hostinger (builder)	Premium, €2.59/month	48-month contract; renews at €9.99/month
Google Sites	Free	No custom domain included, very limited design

Wix and Squarespace are good tools: well-made templates, an editor that makes sense, and Spanish-language support in Wix's case. Hostinger is the cheapest to get into, but read the small print: the low price requires a four-year contract, and the renewal costs almost four times as much. Wix also has a free plan, with its branding on your page and an address like yourname.wixsite.com.

What no subscription includes: your hours. Putting together a decent website with a builder realistically takes a long weekend if you've never done it before. And after that, someone has to change the opening hours in August.

The price of a website built by a freelancer or an agency

There are no official public prices here, and we're wary of anyone who quotes you "the average price in Spain": there's no serious study that measures it. What does exist are the ranges agencies and freelancers publish on their own blogs. For a simple business website, those ranges tend to run from around €400 to around €2,000 with a freelancer, and from around €1,500 upwards with an agency. Treat them as a guide, not a rate card.

What's worth asking before you sign, because that's where the real cost lies:

Who pays for hosting and the domain from the second year on? It's often billed separately.
Who changes a piece of text or a photo, and how much do they charge for it?
Is the domain registered in your name? If it's in the agency's name, you could lose it the day you leave.
What happens if the freelancer stops replying? Ask for full access from day one.

A €1,200 website that nobody updates for two years isn't worth €1,200. It's worth however long it takes a customer to see the wrong opening hours and call someone else.

What you pay every year, even if nobody mentions it

Whatever you pay at the start, a website has costs that come back:

Domain. Your yourbusiness.es. The first year is often practically free; the renewal isn't. Always look at the renewal price, not the introductory one.
Hosting and SSL certificate. The padlock in the browser. With builders it's included in the subscription; with a custom-built site it's sometimes billed separately.
Legal pages and cookie banner. Legal notice, privacy policy, cookie policy, and a banner where rejecting is as easy as accepting, as the AEPD (Spain's data protection authority) requires. Plenty of cheap websites skip it.
Maintenance. Updates, backups, making sure the contact form still arrives. It's the thing people forget most and the first thing to break.

What a small business website really needs

Before you pay for anything, decide what your page has to do. For a business that serves customers, it's almost always this:

Opening hours, and whether you're open or closed today.
Services with prices, or at least "from".
How to get there: address and map.
How to get in touch or book: phone, WhatsApp, a link to Booksy or whatever you use.
Reviews from Google, the real ones.

All of that fits on one well-made page. You don't need ten sections or a blog to get started, and every page you add is one more page to maintain. We go into more detail in what a small business website needs. And if you don't have one at all today, you're not the exception: when we counted 309 hair salons in Barcelona, 61% had no website of their own.

The order we recommend

Check your Google listing: hours, phone number, photos. It's free and it's the first thing people see.
Have a page of your own with everything on the list above, on your own domain if you can.
Link to that page from your Google listing, from Instagram and from your booking tool.
Set yourself a monthly reminder to check it. Seriously.

Doing it yourself: the full sum

Let's add up what comes out of this very article, no tricks.

Quick, and done once. Checking your Google listing and deciding what your page needs to say: an afternoon. Do it whatever you decide; it's yours, it's free, and nobody does it better than you, because nobody knows your business like you do.

Slow: the long weekend. Building the site with a builder, choosing a template, writing the copy, uploading photos that aren't too heavy, connecting the domain, adding the legal pages and the cookie banner. This is where the nephew who "knows about this stuff" turns up, or the €1,500 quote. From then on, between €12 and €14 a month on Wix's or Squarespace's entry plans, plus the domain.

The part that never ends. The August hours, Monday's bank holiday, the price you raised in January, the photo of the new premises, checking the site loads properly on a phone, seeing whether Google is still showing you. Half an hour a month, at the very least. It's the half hour nobody can find, and that's why most business websites freeze on the day they go live.

What we do

At wiweb we take on the slow part and the part that never ends.

The website: free. A page made of widgets (opening hours with live open/closed status, services with prices, map, Google reviews, bookings, contact) published at a yourbusiness.wiweb.me address. Hosting, SSL, and legal pages with a cookie banner all included. No card, and it never expires.
Changing it means typing it. "Say I close at three on Friday": you see the change before it goes live and nothing is published without your click.
Grow, €9/month: your own domain, a monthly analysis of how Google and AI assistants see you with a report by email, extra pages and two languages.
Pro, €24/month: weekly analysis and automatic improvements. The technical side fixes itself; any new text waits for your approval, and everything can be undone.
If you sign up for Grow or Pro and don't even want to start, someone from our team builds the page for you and sends it over ready to approve in under 24 hours.

It's all on pricing and how it works. You can create your website free today.

What we don't sell, because nobody can honestly sell it: a date for reaching the top of Google. No plan, ours or anyone else's, can buy that.

FAQ

Can you really have a website for free?

Yes, with caveats. Wix and Google Sites have free options, and publishing is free on wiweb. Usually the free version doesn't include your own domain: the address carries the platform's name.

How much does it cost to maintain a website each year?

It depends on who maintains it. With a builder, the annual subscription (around €144–168 on Squarespace's and Wix's entry plans as of September 2026) plus the domain. With a custom-built site, the hosting, the domain and every change you ask for, which many agencies bill separately.

Am I better off with an agency or doing it myself?

If you have the time and enjoy it, build it yourself: today's builders are good. If you don't, an agency sorts out the first month, but always ask who will make the changes in the second year and how much they'll cost.

Do I need my own domain?

Not to get started, yes to last. A domain in your name is the address you don't lose if you switch provider, and it gives customers more confidence than a borrowed address.
