Web design on the Costa Blanca

What a business website in Spain must include

Spanish law requires a few pages on every business website that people coming from other countries often do not know about. I build all of them into every website for a business in Spain. Here is what they are, in plain words.

Aviso legal (legal notice)

It is required by the LSSI-CE (Ley 34/2002). Your site must show your business details where they are easy to find: your name or company name, NIF or NIE, address, email and another way to contact you. If the business is listed in a register such as the Registro Mercantil, the registration details go there too. Regulated professions, such as physiotherapists or architects, also add their professional body and qualification.

Privacy policy

Any site that collects personal data, for example through a contact form, needs a privacy policy that follows the GDPR (RGPD in Spain) and the Spanish LOPDGDD. It says who controls the data, why you collect it, how long you keep it and what rights people have, including the right to complain to the AEPD, the Spanish data protection authority. I add a short data notice next to the form.

Cookies and the consent banner

Under the AEPD guidance, cookies for statistics or advertising may only run after the visitor agrees. Rejecting cookies must be as easy as accepting them, and people must be able to change their choice later. You also need a separate cookie policy page. I set up a banner that follows these rules and works with Google Analytics.

Please note: I build the required pages and the technical setup on your website. I do not give legal advice. Check the legal text, especially your business details and how you handle data, with your gestor or asesor.

Google Business Profile in Spain

On the Costa Blanca many people look for services in Google Maps, in Spanish, English and other languages. A well set-up Google Business Profile is often the first place a customer sees you. I create or tidy up your profile: categories, service area, hours, photos and services. I also show you how to ask customers for reviews.

Your name, address and phone number should be the same in the profile, on the website and in the aviso legal. That helps Google understand where you work.

A website in English, Spanish and Polish

If your customers are locals, expats and tourists, each language version should have its own address and be linked to the others. That way Google shows Spanish speakers the Spanish version and English speakers the English one. I set up every multilingual site like this. An extra language version costs 30% of the website price.

Meeting in person

I live on the Costa Blanca, between Valencia and Alicante. I meet clients along the coast from Valencia to Torrevieja: in Gandia, Dénia, Jávea, Benidorm, Alicante and Torrevieja. Everything else we sort out on WhatsApp. One local example is Pego.cc, a cycling base in Pego, which you can see in my portfolio. More about working with businesses in Alicante and Torrevieja.
