Website Costs in Aruba

What businesses should actually pay for a website

2026-08-16 · 6 min read

Most “website cost” articles avoid numbers. This one does not. After building websites and acquisition systems in the Aruban market through 2xGen, here are the realistic ranges businesses on the island actually pay — and what those budgets usually buy.

What Aruba Businesses Typically Pay

These are the brackets we see most often on the island:

  • ·$200–$800 — DIY / template site (Wix, Squarespace, WordPress theme). Fine for a digital business card. Weak on local SEO, slow to change, and rarely converts tourists who land from Google.
  • ·$1,500–$4,000 — Local agency brochure site. Looks professional, often multi-page, sometimes bilingual. Usually thin SEO, generic copy, and a contact form that nobody follows up on.
  • ·$5,000–$15,000+ — Larger agency “marketing website.” More design polish and project management. Still often sold as pages and visuals — not as a system that captures Aruba search demand.
  • ·From $1,500 one-time — Acquisition System (what we build at 2xGen). Not a brochure. A focused build to get found and turn visitors into leads or bookings.

What You Should Get for the Money

If you are spending $1,500 or more, the site should do more than look good. At minimum, insist on:

  • ·Mobile-first pages that load fast on Aruba 4G/5G.
  • ·Clear call actions: call, WhatsApp, book, or enquire — above the fold.
  • ·Landing pages aimed at real searches (tours, restaurants, car rental, real estate — not only a homepage).
  • ·Google Business Profile + SEO basics (titles, locations, services) set up correctly.
  • ·Lead capture with automatic notification so enquiries do not sit unread.
  • ·Analytics so you can see which pages produce enquiries.

Concrete 2xGen Pricing

We publish our prices so you can compare without a sales call theater:

  • ·Acquisition System — from $1,500 one-time. Includes a custom calculator/check/tool, lead capture, landing pages, SEO foundation, analytics, and automatic lead alerts.
  • ·Growth — from $500/month after the system is live. Ongoing SEO guides, social content, SEO and conversion optimization, monitoring, reporting.
  • ·Growth + Ads — from $900/month. Everything in Growth, plus Google/Meta ads, campaign optimization, conversion tracking, and $250 ad spend included.

The Math That Matters

Ignore “cheap vs expensive.” Run the customer math. Example: if one tour booking leaves you $120–$200 in profit, or one real-estate lead is worth thousands, a $1,500 system that produces a handful of extra direct customers in high season pays for itself.

A $800 brochure site that generates zero enquiries is the expensive option — you still pay for OTAs, ads, or empty months. Budget for acquisition, not decoration.
