Web Design and Development on the Costa Blanca

Your website is often the first thing a customer sees, and it has to work on a phone, load quickly and say clearly what you do. We design and build websites and online shops for businesses in Spain, the UK and Germany, in English, German or Spanish. We use WordPress when you want to edit pages, write blog posts or run a shop yourself, and a fast, lightweight Astro site for small business landing pages and sales funnels. Every site is built with search engines in mind from the start, and you deal with one person from first call to launch.

What's included

Professional website design

A design that looks right for your business and makes the next step obvious, whether that is a phone call, a booking or a purchase. We work from your content, your photos and your brand. If you do not have these yet, we can help with them (see below).

Responsive website development

Your site works properly on phones, tablets and desktops, loads quickly and has clean page structure, titles and descriptions for search engines. We choose the platform to suit the job: WordPress if you want to edit pages, publish blog posts or sell online, Astro for small landing pages and sales funnels where speed matters most. Sites can be built in English, German and Spanish.

Business rebranding

A new logo, a refreshed corporate identity, or a modern update of an existing one. This suits long-established businesses whose logo and look date from years ago and no longer match the quality of the work. The new identity is carried through your website.

Professional photography

We photograph properties for real estate agents, and we have taken professional headshots for business teams. Good photos make a site look credible, and they are a big part of what makes a property listing work.

PDF and print

Product brochures, technical product descriptions and other PDFs, designed for downloading, emailing as newsletter attachments or handing out at trade shows.

Online shops (WooCommerce)

We build online shops on WooCommerce, the WordPress shop system. Payments are taken through Stripe and PayPal, and prices are shown including VAT. Because the shop runs on WordPress, you can add products, change prices and manage orders yourself, and there is a blog next to it to bring in visitors from Google. If your shop needs several languages, we use a multilingual set-up built for shops.

Hacked site? Rebuild instead

Sometimes the quickest and safest way to deal with a hacked WordPress site is to start again. We remove the old site files and the database completely, install a clean WordPress and bring your content back from an exported copy of the database, so you keep as much of your text and pages as possible. Nothing the attacker left behind comes with it. The rebuild is part of a website revamp, so it is built into the price we quote you, and a recent backup makes it quicker. Once the site is clean, a maintenance plan helps keep it that way.

WordPress or Astro?

We choose the platform by what you need.

WordPress: online shops, sites with a lot of blog posts that you write yourself, and any site where you want to change pages yourself.
Astro: small business landing pages and sales funnels, where a very fast page with little to maintain is what counts.

If you are unsure, tell us what you want to be able to do yourself, and we will recommend one.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a website cost?

Do you build online shops?

Yes. We build WooCommerce shops that take payments through Stripe and PayPal, with prices shown including VAT.

Can I edit the website myself?

Yes, if the site is built on WordPress, which is our choice whenever you want to change pages, write blog posts or run a shop. Training is included with our website maintenance plans.

Should my website be WordPress or Astro?

WordPress for shops, for sites with a lot of blog posts and for anything you want to edit yourself. Astro for small business landing pages and sales funnels where speed is the priority.

Can you build my website in more than one language?

Yes, in English, German and Spanish. For most sites we use Polylang. For more complex sites, such as shops, we use WPML.

My website has been hacked. Can you rebuild it?

Usually, yes. We clear the old files and the database, install a clean WordPress and restore as much of your content as we can from an exported copy of the database. The rebuild is part of a website revamp and is included in the quote.

Do you take photographs for websites?

Yes. We mainly photograph properties for real estate agents and have also taken business headshots. Ask if you need photography for your own project.

Can you create brochures or PDFs?

Yes. We design product brochures and technical product descriptions as PDFs, for trade shows, newsletters and downloads on your website.
