Websites for Miami businesses serving a market that reads in English and Spanish, and buyers who are frequently not in Florida at all.
Web design in Miami costs $1,700 to $5,000 for a five-page site and $8,000 to $25,000 for a larger marketing site. What most often changes the scope in this market is language: a genuinely bilingual site adds design, content and technical work that monolingual quotes do not include, and it is the thing most Miami quotes leave vague.
Bilingual is not a translate widget. It means separate indexable pages per language, hreflang so search engines serve the right one, a language switcher that keeps you on the same page, and copy written in each language rather than machine-translated.
A large share of Miami enquiries, particularly in real estate and hospitality, come from outside Florida and outside the US. That changes what the site has to answer: process for remote buyers, currency, time zones, and what happens if they cannot visit.
Mobile share is high and connections are not always good. Compressed imagery, modern formats and a real performance budget, especially for the image-heavy briefs this market produces.
Local search for the businesses serving Miami residents, and ordinary organic for the buyers searching from elsewhere. Those need different pages, and conflating them is why a lot of Miami sites underperform at both.
Hospitality and tourism traffic is seasonal and spiky. Hosting and caching sized for the peak, and content your team can change as the season turns without an agency ticket.
Code, design files, domain, hosting and analytics are yours on final payment, unconditionally and not conditional on a retainer.
| Project | Range (USD) | Timeline | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Landing page | $1,200 to $4,000 | 1 to 2 weeks | Add roughly 30 percent for a second language |
| Five-page business site | $1,700 to $5,000 | 2 to 4 weeks | Add roughly 40 percent for full bilingual |
| Marketing site, 8 to 15 pages | $8,000 to $25,000 | 5 to 9 weeks | Bilingual scoped per page, not as a bolt-on |
| E-commerce build | $15,000 to $45,000 | 6 to 12 weeks | Currency and shipping rules add scope |
| Real estate site with IDX | $4,000 to $18,000 | 3 to 8 weeks | MLS feed licensing billed separately by your board |
| Retainer | $2,000 to $12,000 per month | Ongoing | Development, CRO, content in both languages |
The bilingual uplift is real work and we would rather price it openly than quote a monolingual number and raise it later. It covers translated copy written rather than machine-generated, duplicate page structure, hreflang and testing in both languages.
| Ask them | A good answer sounds like | Walk away if |
|---|---|---|
| What does this actually cost? | A range, and what moves it, before a call | You must book a call to learn the ballpark |
| Who owns the code and design files? | You do, unconditionally, in the contract | Ownership depends on staying on a retainer |
| Can I see Core Web Vitals on three live sites? | URLs, and an honest word about the slowest | They show you visual portfolio shots instead |
| Who writes the copy? | A named person, scheduled before design | Copy is your job and nobody said so until week six |
| What happens to rankings in a rebuild? | Redirect mapping and content parity, raised unprompted | They say the new site will just rank better |
| Who does the work day to day? | People you meet before signing | The pitch team is never seen again |
We would rather you ask us these than take our word for it. The pricing question separates most of the field, because publishing numbers commits you to them.
IDX listings search engines can actually index, neighbourhood pages, and a process explained for buyers purchasing from another country. See websites for realtors.
Menus you can edit yourself, direct ordering that keeps your margin, reservations embedded rather than bounced. See restaurant websites.
Shopify builds and migrations for brands selling across the US and into Latin America. See our Shopify practice.
Named people, real credentials, and pages that answer what a prospect asks before the first call, in whichever language they arrived in.
Appointment requests, plain answers on cost and insurance, patient data handled properly, and intake that works bilingually. See dental websites.
Practice area pages that rank separately, bios written for clients, and intake respecting confidentiality and bar rules. See law firm websites.
Daily overlap with Eastern time, standups, recorded walkthroughs between calls, and a staging link you can open whenever you want to see progress.
We arrange professional translation rather than running your copy through a machine and calling it bilingual. If you have someone in-house who writes well in Spanish, that is usually better and cheaper, and we will say so.
We work remotely and say so rather than implying a presence. If your project genuinely needs someone on site, tell us early and we will be straight about whether we are the right fit.
A five-page business site runs $1,700 to $5,000 and a larger marketing site $8,000 to $25,000. A genuinely bilingual build adds roughly 30 to 40 percent, which covers written translation, duplicate page structure, hreflang and testing in both languages.
Yes, and properly rather than with a translate widget. That means separate indexable pages per language, hreflang tags so search engines serve the right version, a switcher that keeps you on the same page, and copy written in each language.
Rarely. Machine-translated pages read as machine-translated to native speakers, and many plugins do not produce separately indexable pages, so you get no search benefit in the second language. If budget is tight, translate the pages that matter and leave the rest in one language.
No. We work with Miami clients remotely on overlapping Eastern hours, and we would rather state that than imply a local presence.
Yes. The important part is an integration that renders server side so search engines can actually index your listings, which most widget-based IDX setups do not. MLS feed licensing is billed separately by your board.
It can, with separate pages per language, correct hreflang, and genuine keyword research in each. Spanish-language search terms are frequently not direct translations of the English ones, which is a common and expensive assumption.
Yes, and it changes what the site needs: process explained for remote purchasers, currency clarity, time zone realities, and answers to what happens if the buyer cannot visit in person. Most Miami sites are written as though every buyer is local.
Add roughly two weeks to the monolingual timeline, mostly for translation turnaround and testing. A five-page bilingual site is typically four to six weeks.
You do, on final payment. Code, design files, domain, hosting and analytics, unconditionally and not tied to staying with us.
Send your page count, whether you need one language or two, and your launch date. We reply with a fixed-scope proposal with the bilingual work itemised rather than buried.
Send us what you are trying to fix and we will tell you what it takes, what it costs, and whether we are the right people for it. If we are not, we will say so.
