Hosted in the European Union

Your data on European servers. GDPR compliant.

All my servers are in the European Union. Nightly backups and each client’s data kept separate.

How it works

Three steps and your business is online.

From the first conversation to the published website in 2–3 weeks, with your current site running the whole time.

  1. We talk

    Half an hour, by email or video call. You tell me what you have and what you are missing. Written quote, no obligation.

  2. You see it before it goes live

    I show you the website and the panel at a test address, with your real content. You ask for any changes you like.

  3. I take care of the rest

    Domain switch with no downtime and the website live. If you want maintenance, from then on I look after hosting, backups, security and changes every month.

Before you decide

Ask me for a demo. Free, no strings attached.

I build your new website with your real content before you pay anything. You see it working, with its panel, at a private address.

  1. You email me

    With your current website address, or whatever you have: a menu, a catalogue, some photos.

  2. You get your demo

    Within days, a private address Google cannot see, with your website built and a sample panel for you to try.

  3. You decide

    If you like it, it goes live in 2–3 weeks. If not, it gets deleted and that is that.

Ask me for a demo

I only run a few demos at a time, because each one is real work: I will tell you when yours will be ready.

Examples

Apps up and running, built by me.

  • a·escena

    CRM for talent agencies: castings, submissions to casting directors and several agencies with their data kept separate.

  • orgameet

    CRM for people who live in meetings: a brief before, minutes and tasks after, written by AI.

  • Bookings with payment

    Group photo sessions: you book by saving your card and, if the minimum is reached, automatic charge and invoice.

    Live
  • Website with panel

    For talent agencies: dozens of profiles and hundreds of photos imported, managed from their own panel.

WordPress since 2009

I have been building WordPress sites since 2009. Today, for most businesses, I prefer a custom-built website.

WordPress is still valid and I still use it on projects. But today you can have something built 100% for your business without spending a lot, and in the long run it is faster and easier to maintain. The comparison, plainly:

WordPressCustom-built website
Load time2 to 5 seconds with a theme and pluginsUnder a second
MaintenanceUpdating WordPress, the theme and the plugins every weekNothing to update: I maintain it
SecurityPlugins are the usual way inNo plugins: nothing to attack
Admin panelGeneric, with a lot you never useOnly your records and your pages
CustomisationWhatever the theme and plugins allow100%: written for your business
Cost over timeHosting, paid plugins, hours of fixesOne-off payment; maintenance optional
When I choose itAgencies and projects that already live on WordPressBusinesses that want speed and to forget about the technical side

Does your project need WordPress anyway? I do it, mostly for agencies and white-label. Ask me for details.

Pricing

Pay once to own it. Maintenance, if you want it.

Prices for businesses outside Spain and Latin America. You pay for the website once and it is yours; monthly maintenance is optional and you can stop it whenever you like. These are starting prices: before I start, I send you the fixed price in writing, so everything is clear for both of us. All prices exclude VAT.

Your website · one-off

from€750 one-off

To have it built, live and yours.

€750 is a small website. The final price depends on how many pages it has, in how many languages and what features it needs, such as connecting it to other tools.

  • Custom-built website, fast and plugin-free
  • Design and build with your current content
  • A panel to change text and photos yourself
  • On your hosting or on European servers, with your domain
  • No lock-in: the website is yours

Maintenance Optional

from€90/month

To keep your website up to date without worrying about anything.

€90 is for a small website. With more pages, more languages or more features, maintenance costs more.

  • Hosting, domain and certificate
  • Nightly backups
  • Updates and security
  • 1 hour of changes per month, published the next day
  • Cancel whenever you like

If one month you need more hours: €60 per hour, agreed beforehand. Bookings, CRM and AI assistants are quoted in writing and added on top of your website, no rebuild. The domain and the content are always yours. Is your business in Spain or Latin America? The Spanish version has the local prices.

Frequently asked questions

What people usually ask first.

Why “from”? How much will mine cost?

€750 is the price of a small website: presentation, services and contact, in one language. If it has more sections, several languages or needs connecting to other tools you already use, it costs more. Before I start, I send you the fixed price in writing, with what is included, so everything is clear for both of us.

Do I need to buy hosting, a domain or anything technical?

Not necessarily. If you already have hosting, I set it up there; if not, with maintenance I host it on European servers. If you already have a domain, it stays yours and I point it to the new website without interrupting your email.

Where is my data?

On servers in the European Union, GDPR compliant, with a nightly backup stored off the server and each client’s data kept separate.

Can I change things myself without being technical?

Yes. The panel is just filling in forms: you type, upload a photo and save, from your phone too. Anything beyond that, you email me and it is published the next day (with maintenance, 1 hour a month is included).

Why not WordPress?

Because most problems with a WordPress site come from plugins: updates, slowness and hacks. What I build has no plugins and only what you actually use.

Will ChatGPT and Google’s AI answers find me, as well as the search engine?

The website comes ready for it: your business data in the format machines read, name and address matching your Google Maps listing, a summary for AI assistants and their crawlers let in. Nobody can promise you will be cited; leaving you in a position to be, I can.

What does AI do in my business?

The repetitive work: answering frequent enquiries, summarising bookings or messages, drafting a profile from a photo, notifying customers. Always reviewed by you, and only if it helps you.

What if one day I want to leave?

The domain and the content are yours. I hand everything over exported so you can take it anywhere. No lock-in: you can stop maintenance whenever you like.

About me

Pablo Cortés

I have been building websites since 2009. The early years with WordPress, for agencies and clients in Spain, Europe, the United States and Latin America: consultancies, projects funded by the European Commission, shops and cultural brands. Today I build custom websites and apps, without WordPress, with AI tools for the mechanical part, and I keep them running every month. I work alone: if you write to me, I reply, and you deal with me throughout the project and afterwards.

I am also a portrait photographer, at Fotablos. Hence the care for how what I build looks.
