When we talk about web design in Lloret de Mar with a local business, one sentence comes up almost every time: «most of my customers have already decided before they arrive». It is true, and it changes entirely what the website is for. It is not a shop window for whoever walks past; it is what someone a thousand kilometres away sees, looking at their phone on a Tuesday in February, deciding where to sleep or where to have dinner in summer.
A town of 42,000 residents that welcomes half the world
The numbers explain why the website plays a different role here. According to Idescat, Lloret de Mar has 42,134 residents across 48.71 km². So far, a medium-sized town in the Selva county. But the same source counts a seasonal population of +18,639 people: in high season, the number of people sleeping in Lloret rises by almost 44 % over the registered residents.
And all those people sleep somewhere. The figure that says it all is this: 124 hotels and 29,756 hotel beds, plus 3,786 camping pitches. That is more hotel beds than half of Lloret has residents. Behind every bed there is a business that lives on being found: restaurants, shops, bike rental, boat trips, diving schools, physios, dentists who work in several languages. The town is, basically, a machine for welcoming visitors, as both the Lloret de Mar Town Council and the Costa Brava Girona Tourism Board make clear.
In Lloret, the customer chooses you before arriving
This is the difference from a neighbourhood business. In a neighbourhood, a good share of your customers already know you exist: they walk past the door. In Lloret, a huge number of customers have never walked past and may not until the day they turn up with a suitcase. They chose you from home, comparing three tabs open on their phone.
That means the decision is not made in the shop, it is made on the screen, weeks earlier. If they cannot find you when they look, or they find you and the site is slow, only in one language or unreadable on a phone, they do not argue with you: they move to the next tab. You do not lose a sale with a «no, thanks»; you lose it in silence, without even knowing.

Your website is not a brochure, it is the reception desk
A brochure you glance at once and throw away. A reception desk you ask: do you have room in August? does the price include breakfast? is it far from the beach? can I pay by card? The website of a Lloret business has to answer all of that on its own, at any hour, with nobody standing there, because whoever is asking does so at eleven at night and from another country.
That is why good web design in Lloret de Mar does not start with the colour or the pretty sunset photo. It starts with a list of the questions people ask you every day at the counter and on the phone, and with putting the answers where the customer looks for them. The design comes afterwards, so that all of it reads easily and builds trust.
What good web design in Lloret de Mar has to solve
If your business lives on the season, there are three things that are not an extra: they are the minimum to compete for a customer coming from outside.
Several languages, and done properly
Lloret gets visitors from France, the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Eastern Europe. A site only in Spanish or only in Catalan leaves out a huge part of who would look for you. And «several languages» is not running the text through a machine translator and praying: it is having the important pages well written in your customers’ languages and getting Google to understand them as versions of the same thing, not as loose copies.
Mobile first, not as an afterthought
Whoever compares accommodation or a restaurant in summer almost always does it from their phone, often standing in the street and in a hurry. If your site looks fine on a computer but on the phone you have to zoom in to read the hours, or the booking button is hidden, you are losing exactly where the game is played. Mobile first is not a fashion: it is where your customer is when they decide.
Being found on Google before they book
The best website is worth little if it shows up on page four. When someone searches for «restaurant in Lloret de Mar» or «hotel near Lloret beach», you win or lose the customer in the top results and on the map. There your Google profile matters as much as the website, and the two have to say the same thing. How it is set up and what to check each month is in the Google Business profile, and that is what our Google Business posts are for.
Hours and prices have to match everywhere
This is the most expensive mistake and the easiest to fix. In a seasonal business the hours change three times a year: short winter, full-on summer and the odd week of the festival. And the hours do not live in one place, they live in four: the website, the Google profile, the social media account and the sign on the door.
When you change one and forget the others, the customer sees two different truths and believes whichever comes up first, which is almost always Google. They turn up at four thinking you are open, find a closed door, and that person does not look at your website again: they look at the one next door. That is why on a well-built site changing the hours should take you two minutes, not two emails to the agency; that autonomy is half the battle.
What web design in Lloret de Mar costs
We say it plainly because almost nobody does. We have two ways to start and three plans to go further, and the prices are published on our pricing page.
- Tu Landing: 100 € a month. One well-built page, for whoever needs to be there and convince on a single screen.
- Tu Web: 200 € a month. Up to ten subpages and a monthly article, which is what a small hotel, a restaurant or a shop with several sections usually needs.
Both include domain, hosting, email and maintenance, with the domain in your company name. If you also want someone to run the campaigns, the social media and the measuring, the full presence plans are 400, 750 and 1,500 € a month. All plus VAT and with no lock-in: if one month you decide to stop, you stop. To get a sense of what fits in each website size, there is how much a website costs.
How we build a site that works all year
A seasonal website has a problem of its own: for nine months you barely look at it and for three you need it perfect. For it to hold up, we build it with a few rules we have learned over the years.
- Just the pages you need, not one for show. How many are needed and what each is for is a strategy decision, not filler; it is in the structure of a website.
- Genuinely fast, because a customer comparing in a hurry will not wait for five heavy sunset photos to load.
- With what changes kept apart from what does not, so that touching a price or an opening time moves nothing out of place and you can do it yourself.
- With the domain and the email in your name. It sounds obvious and it is what causes the most trouble: check it in five minutes with who owns your domain.
If you come from another town and want to see how we approach the same service elsewhere, web design in Girona is right next door.

Where to start
You do not need to bring anything technical. What helps us is for you to tell us who you welcome (where your customer comes from, in which languages), what they always ask, and what you would like the website to solve without you being there. With that we build the reception desk that works while you look after the place.
If you would rather talk it over with a coffee, we are in Girona and we come from this coast. Message us through the contact form or on WhatsApp and we will give you a closed price, no sales pitch and no commitment.
