Web developer in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
- Websites
- Online shops
- Bookings
Your customer is looking for you on a phone, in a hurry. If your site is slow they go to the one next door — which is exactly what happens to sites assembled out of templates and plugins. I build yours to measure so it loads before they give up: 99+ on all four Google checks, a fixed quote before anything starts, and someone you can actually meet in Las Palmas.

What I can build for you
Almost everything businesses here ask me for is one of these three. A fixed quote before anything starts, and every one of them ships at 99+ on all four Lighthouse checks.
- 01
Your business website, built to measure
from €145So people find you on Google, understand what you do in ten seconds, and know how to reach you. Easy to edit yourself, with none of the plugin stack that needs patching every month to stay standing. In English and Spanish, with the URLs and hreflang set up the way Google wants them, from €245.
- 02
Direct booking website for holiday lets
from €490Booking and Airbnb take 15 to 20% of every reservation. A fast site in your guests' own language, with a booking flow that goes straight to you, moves your repeat guests off the platforms — and those are exactly the ones that commission costs you most on.
- 03
Online shop
from €490Selling from your own site instead of someone else's shopfront, with payments, inter-island shipping and IGIC set up the way they actually work here.
- 04
Custom apps, AI, performance and maintenance
quoted per projectWhat isn't a website, or what comes after one: the tool you currently run by hand in a spreadsheet, an AI agent that takes the repetitive work off your desk, fixing a site you already have that loads slowly, or someone keeping an eye on it from €25/month.
From your message to a live site
No commitment until you say so. Here is what happens after you write.
You write
WhatsApp or email, and two lines is enough: what your business is and what you need. You don't have to have it worked out yet.
We talk for twenty minutes
By phone, by video call, or over a coffee in Las Palmas. I ask about your business and your customers, not about technology. If what you need isn't a website, or isn't me, I'll tell you here.
20 minYou get a fixed quote
The scope in writing, the final price and the delivery date. No hours, no extras halfway through. If it works for you we start; if it doesn't, you owe me nothing.
no stringsI build it, and you watch it happen
Your site is on a real address from day one, where you can look in whenever you want. Changes happen as we go, not in one review at the end.
1–5 weeksIt goes live, and it's yours
Domain, hosting and admin access in your name. I show you how to edit it. If something breaks, you get me.
Shall we start?
Tell me what you need and I'll send you a fixed quote. No strings — and if it isn't a job for me, I'll say so.
Featured Projects
From business websites to AI agents that run on their own, a selection of the projects I've worked on.
Most of the people selling you a website in Gran Canaria aren't in Gran Canaria. I'm in Las Palmas. I answer the phone, and I'll tell you when you don't need me.
What people ask first
Prices, timelines, languages, and how I work with businesses in Gran Canaria and across the Canary Islands.
- How much does a website cost?
A brochure site for a local business starts at €145, and most of what I deliver lands between €145 and €490. An online shop starts at €490. What moves the number is how many pages it has, whether you need it in more than one language, and whether it has to connect to bookings, payments or something you currently do by hand.
You get a fixed quote before anything starts — I don't bill by the hour, and there are no surprises halfway through. Prices exclude IGIC, the Canary Islands' equivalent of VAT.
- How can you charge €145 and still call it high end?
Because there is nobody between you and the person building the site. No agency overhead, no account manager relaying messages, no reseller margin on top. You are paying for the work and nothing else.
The other half is the stack. Astro builds your site into plain, fast files instead of assembling every page from a pile of plugins, so the quality that agencies charge four figures to retrofit is simply how the site comes out. Cheap here means low overhead, not cut corners — the guarantee below is the same one either way.
- How long does it take to go live?
A simple one or two page site is usually live in one to two weeks. A full business site, with several sections and in two languages, takes three to five weeks.
What delays a project is almost never the development — it's the content. If you already have your text and your photos, it's quicker; if you don't, that is the part that will take the time.
- What do you actually guarantee?
Every site I hand over scores 99 or above on all four Google Lighthouse categories — performance, accessibility, best practices and SEO — measured on your live site, on mobile, not on my laptop.
If it comes in under that, I keep working until it doesn't. You can check it yourself at any time: run your own address through PageSpeed Insights, it is free and it takes thirty seconds.
- Are you actually based in Gran Canaria?
Yes — Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. I work with businesses across the island and also in Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and the rest of the Canaries. We can meet in person in Las Palmas or over a video call, whichever suits you better. If you have been burned by an agency in another time zone, that is the difference.
- Do you work in English?
Yes. I work in English and Spanish, so the whole project — the calls, the quote, the handover and the support afterwards — runs in English if that suits you better. I don't work in German, but most German-speaking business owners on the island are used to running this in English.
- Can you build a site in Spanish, English and German?
I build and maintain Spanish and English myself. German content is straightforward to add to the same site — the multilingual structure, the hreflang tags and the per-language URLs are built in from the start — but the German copy has to come from you or a translator, because I won't sell you words I can't check.
- Can you get me direct bookings instead of paying commission?
That is one of the most useful things a site can do here. Booking and Airbnb take between 15 and 20% of every reservation. A fast site in your guests' own language, with a booking flow that goes straight to you, means the reservations you already win through those platforms stop costing you that commission.
It won't replace the platforms, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise: that is where people find you the first time. What it does is move your repeat guests off them — and those are exactly the ones you can least afford to keep paying commission on.
- Do you use WordPress?
I can, but it's usually not what I recommend. I build with Astro and a modern content editor: you still edit your own text just as easily, but the site loads far faster, doesn't rest on a stack of plugins, and doesn't need monthly patching to stay standing. If you already have a WordPress site that works, I'll tell you honestly whether moving is worth it.
