Freelance web designer & SEO in Málaga
A website built to grow your business and improve your SEO.

My name is Nico Moreno. I’m an expert in web design and SEO
I’ve been building websites since 2020. I started out as a software developer, and for a while I thought that a well-designed website was enough. But there were some brilliant websites that didn’t bring a single customer to anyone, simply because nobody could find them. So I set about studying SEO in earnest and ended up doing the master’s degree at Big School.
I now work as a freelancer based in Ronda, mainly with businesses in Málaga and on the Costa del Sol: Marbella, Fuengirola, Estepona… My clients range from people setting up their first business to international companies, and I also work with agencies throughout Spain.
And what I’ve learnt along the way is that web design and SEO on their own don’t make anyone any money. A lovely website that doesn’t turn up in search results is no use. One that does turn up but doesn’t convince visitors is no use either. What works is deciding first what your website needs to include and building everything around that decision.
My most recent projects
Estate agents, restaurants, car dealerships and publishing projects. Some of these feature bespoke development behind the scenes.
You can hire me for one thing or for all of them
Choose the services you want depending on the stage your project is at.
Web design
Your client will compare your website with three or four others before making a decision. My job is to ensure that yours is the one that wins them over: that it represents your business, tells them what they need to know to choose you, and does so in the right order. I also make sure it loads quickly, looks good on any device, and complies with accessibility standards and the GDPR, which is now mandatory in Spain.
Web development
I can integrate booking systems, CRM, automations or whatever you need without cluttering the website with a whole host of plugins that start causing problems after just a few months.
SEO
I find out what your customers type into Google and optimise your site for those searches. Not for the ones with the highest search volume, but for the ones that bring you profit.
I focus on the three key elements that drive a website. The technical side, so that Google can crawl, understand and read each page quickly. The content, creating pages that answer what your customers are looking for. And your online presence, to secure high-quality links and mentions.
Ecommerce
A WooCommerce site with the product catalogue, payments, delivery and tax settings already configured. You can get straight into managing orders, rather than struggling with settings.
Website maintenance
Backups, WordPress and plugin updates, and monthly support. So your website never goes down.
Prices
The prices are ‘from’ because I don’t charge by the number of pages, but by the scope of the work involved. And if, based on what you’ve told me, none of the three options suits you, I’ll let you know.

Why choose me as your web designer?
These are the three questions that come up most often when someone commissions a website for the first time. They’re in the contract, not just here.
Strategy before design
For every project, I start by working with you to define what your website needs to achieve and who it needs to appeal to, and that decision shapes everything else: the pages, the text, the photos and even the placement of each button. After more than five years, I’ve learnt that this is what determines whether a website attracts customers.
Ready to grow
When something is custom-built, it can be expanded. It sounds obvious, but it isn’t: the difference between a website built by stacking plugins and one built from the ground up becomes apparent the day you need to add something to it. With one, you can simply add whatever is needed on top; with the other, you have to rebuild it from scratch.
A website that’s entirely yours
The domain and hosting are registered in your name. I’ll provide you with the login details for the control panel in writing. That way, you won’t be tied to anything or anyone. I’ll also record a video showing you how to edit text, replace photos and publish new content.
What my clients say
‘Nico has created our estate agency’s website, and I just have to say thank you for his professionalism and for how well he has understood our ideas.’
‘Nico is undoubtedly the best web designer and SEO consultant in Ronda. He’s very professional and has helped me a great deal with my projects. I’ll continue to work with him and recommend him 100%’
‘Working with Nico has been an extraordinary experience from start to finish. He designed and developed our website for Realsea Real Estate, and the result exceeded all our expectations.’
‘We hired him to do the SEO for our company and the experience has been top-notch. We’re getting customers from all over the province of Málaga – exactly what we were looking for. You can tell he knows what he’s doing.’
‘He helped me with my car dealership’s website and, to be honest, I couldn’t be happier. He understood exactly what I needed right from the start. He’s brilliant – everything was great and he was really professional.’
You’ll know exactly where we’re going at all times
Four steps. None of them begins until you have seen and approved the previous one.
Let’s talk about your business
Tell me what you do and who you want to reach. I’ll look at what your potential customers are searching for and what your competitors are doing. From there, we’ll work out which pages your website needs and what each one should communicate.
I’ll prepare a tailored proposal
You’ll receive a fixed quote and a clear breakdown of what’s included, what isn’t, and when everything will be delivered. And if I believe what you’re asking for isn’t in your best interests, I’ll tell you and explain why. That way, you can make an informed decision.
I’ll build your website, and you can follow the progress
Before I consider the website finished, you’ll be able to see how it’s coming along. You can send me your feedback in batches — each batch counts as a round of revisions — and I’ll make the necessary changes. Nothing goes live without your approval.
Delivery, training and 30 days of support
Once everything is ready, I’ll give you full access to your website and a video tutorial showing you how to use it. For the following 30 days, you can ask me anything by email or WhatsApp.
FAQ
Do you only work with businesses in Spain?
Not at all. I’m based in Ronda (Málaga) and work a lot with companies on the Costa del Sol, but I work online with clients wherever they are — and I’m glad to work in English. A video call can be just as effective as meeting in person. What matters is understanding your business, not being in the same city. And if you’re a foreigner setting up or running a business in Spain, being local means I also understand the market your customers are actually searching in.
How long will my website take?
A standard website is ready in 2–3 weeks. An online store or a more complex project can take 4–6 weeks. We work together throughout so it turns out exactly as you need. No last-minute surprises.
Can I make changes to my website after it's delivered?
Of course. I show you how to make basic content changes yourself, and for anything more complex you can always get in touch. Your website should evolve with your business, not stand still.
Do you work with WordPress, or can you use other platforms?
I mainly work with WordPress because it’s the most flexible and powerful platform for most businesses. But if your project needs something specific, we’ll talk it through and find the best option.
What if I don't like how the website turns out?
You’ll be able to see the website as I’m building it, not once it’s finished. If anything doesn’t quite work for you, just let me know during the review stage and I’ll change it. A website that doesn’t work for you won’t work for me either.
