Building fast, functional websites that work as hard as you do.
Good web design turns heads. Good web development makes them stay, convert, and come back. As a freelance web developer based in Marbella, I don’t just build websites that look good — I build websites that load fast, rank on Google, and grow your business over time.
Whether you’re starting from scratch, outgrowing your current site, or need custom functionality built on top of an existing platform, I handle the full development process — from database structure to the final pixel on screen.
Web Development Marbella
Web design is what your visitors see. Web development is what makes everything work behind the scenes. It’s the code that powers your website, delivers fast loading times, creates seamless user experiences, connects databases and APIs, processes enquiries, manages bookings, and integrates with the tools your business relies on.
Whether it’s a custom booking system, an e-commerce store, a client portal, CRM integrations, payment gateways, or automated workflows, quality development ensures your website is fast, secure, scalable, and built around your business—not the limitations of a template.
In Marbella’s competitive digital market—real estate, restaurants, holiday rentals, luxury services, and local businesses—a slow, outdated, or unreliable website doesn’t just create a poor first impression. It can cost you enquiries, bookings, and revenue every single day.
I build rental websites with live booking calendars, channel manager API sync (Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO), availability management, and automated pricing display. Clients include luxury villa rental businesses across the Costa del Sol and beyond.
From digital menus to online reservation forms, I develop hospitality websites that make it easy for guests to find you, read your menu, book a table, and navigate to your door — all from their phone.
I follow a structured 5-step process designed to eliminate surprises, keep projects on schedule, and deliver websites you’re proud to share.
Before a single line of code is written, we map out the full site structure. This means defining your pages, user flows, required functionality, third-party integrations, and technical constraints. You get a clear site map and project brief before work begins.
I create wireframes — skeletal layouts — that show how each page will be structured before the visual design is applied. This step ensures the user experience is logical, conversion-focused, and aligned with your brand goals.
This is where the build happens. I develop both the front-end (what users see) and the back-end (server-side logic, databases, and APIs) to create fast, scalable, and reliable websites. Depending on your project’s requirements, I use the most suitable technologies to deliver a custom solution, including responsive interfaces, custom functionality, API integrations, third-party services, and performance optimization.
Before any site goes live, I run it through a full QA checklist: cross-browser testing (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge), mobile responsiveness checks across multiple screen sizes, page speed audits (Google PageSpeed Insights, GTmetrix), broken link checks, form testing, and SEO technical review.
Once you’ve signed off, I deploy the site to your live server, configure caching, CDN, and security settings. I record a personalised walkthrough video showing you how to manage your own content, so you’re never dependent on a developer for basic updates.

Integrated real estate and vacation rental system with channel manager sync
Holiday villa website with availability calendar and enquiry system
Working with a local developer isn’t just convenient — it’s a strategic advantage.
I know the Marbella market. I understand how tourists search for villas in July, how property buyers research agents, and what makes a restaurant stand out in Puerto Banús. That local knowledge directly informs how I structure your site, what keywords I target, and how I write your content.
I’m also available in your timezone, speak your language (Croatian, Serbian, English and Spanish), and can meet in person when needed. No offshore handoffs, no 12-hour response delays.
A typical custom website takes 4 to 6 weeks from kick-off to launch. More complex projects with custom integrations or large databases may take 8–12 weeks. I’ll give you a clear timeline estimate before we start.
Yes, always. I build every site so the client can manage their own content without touching code. I also record a personalised video walkthrough of your custom dashboard so you know exactly how to make changes.
Yes. I offer ongoing website maintenance packages that cover security updates, backups, plugin management, and technical support. Ask about options when you get in touch.
Yes. I build fully custom websites tailored to your needs. Whether you need a business website, portfolio, e-commerce store, booking system, web application, or a completely bespoke solution, I can recommend and use the technology that’s the best fit for your project rather than limiting you to a specific platform.
Every project is scoped individually based on complexity and required features. A starter business website typically begins from €1,500, while complex platforms with custom integrations start from €4,000+. Get in touch for a free quote.
Yes. While I’m based on the Costa del Sol and specialise in the Marbella area, I work with clients across Spain, the UK, and internationally.
Whether you need a brand new website, a more powerful platform, or custom functionality that your current site simply can’t handle — let’s talk.
I offer a free 30-minute consultation to understand your project, answer your questions, and give you a clear idea of what’s involved.
