Can Antaviana

What Can Antaviana does

Can Antaviana (legal entity: CAN ANTAVIANA, S.L.) is a private Spanish digital communication agency founded in 1995 and headquartered in Les Borges Blanques, Lleida, Catalonia. The firm operates a multidisciplinary team of approximately 11-50 employees spanning designers, front-end and back-end programmers, an art director, a project manager, an administration/training lead, and linguists (philologists), delivering custom digital services to institutional clients across Spain. Its core technology asset is Houdini, a proprietary PHP-based content management system developed internally since 2004, featuring a visual editor, modular drag-and-drop page builder, native multilingual support, role-based access, integrated resource library, static-page publishing, and zero third-party plugin dependencies that materially reduce automated-attack exposure.

The company derives revenue primarily from professional services — custom web design and programming, corporate intranet development, digital consulting and communication strategy, bespoke applications (including AI-based process automation and Progressive Web Apps), and graphic design/illustration — supplemented by Houdini CMS licensing arranged as recurring subscriptions. Engagements are direct, sales-led, project-based, and typically contracted over multi-year terms with quote-based pricing. Its go-to-market relies on a multilingual website (Catalan, Spanish, English), direct outreach via contact form, phone, and email, and a public portfolio as the primary trust signal.

Customer concentration is anchored in two vertical specialties: the Spanish healthcare sector (hospitals including Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol, Hospital del Mar, Hospital Clínic Barcelona, Hospital de Bellvitge, Hospital Sant Joan de Déu, Institut Català d'Oncologia, Institut Català de la Salut, and Banc de Sang i Teixits since 2013; healthcare consortia; and Cruz Roja blood donation in Madrid) and biomedical research institutions (IBEC, IDIBAPS-area institutes, IRBLleida, IDIBGI, IDIVAL, IISLAFE, Irycis, Fundació Pasqual Maragall, Fisabio, ISCIII Biobanks Platform serving 71 Units). Secondary segments include local and provincial government (Diputació de Barcelona/Lleida/Tarragona, Paeria de Lleida, Agència de Ciberseguretat de Catalunya), cultural foundations (Fundació Joan Miró, Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí, Monestir de Poblet), tourism boards, and education. Official technology partnerships with Fundanet and SciMarina, plus integration with Google Analytics, support its research-vertical workflow and analytics stack.

Scale indicators5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Making Science: Madrid-headquartered digital transformation and adtech group with comparable end-to-end digital services (web, ecommerce, marketing tech) across Spain and Europe. Operates at meaningfully larger scale but serves an overlapping enterprise and public-sector client base.

Direct peers

• Paradigma Digital: Madrid-based digital consultancy delivering custom software, web platforms, and digital transformation projects. Directly comparable on custom application development and enterprise/institutional client work.
• Zentric: Spanish digital services firm specializing in web platforms and digital transformation for institutional clients, with overlap in CMS-centric and intranet-style engagements.
• Citrus Comunicación: Spanish creative agency with integrated digital, branding, and content services. Comparable scope across strategy, design, and digital production for institutional and corporate clients.
• Sr. Burns: Barcelona creative and digital agency providing brand strategy, web design, and content production. Closely aligned on creative-led agency model serving Catalan institutional and corporate clients.
• Mediactiu: Barcelona-based digital agency offering web design, custom development, content strategy, and digital consulting. Comparable in size, geography, and full-service agency model, including healthcare and institutional clients.

Others

• Strapi: Open-source headless CMS. Adjacent rather than directly competing; relevant because Strapi represents the headless/JS-centric architecture that Houdini's PHP stack does not natively serve, framing the technology-shift risk.
• Fundanet: Research management platform for biomedical institutions. An official integration partner of Antaviana rather than a competitor, but ecosystem-relevant because Houdini-driven research portals are typically paired with Fundanet back-office.

Regional players

• Cyberclick: Barcelona-headquartered digital marketing and web services agency. Comparable on digital services scope for mid-market and enterprise clients in Spain, with a stronger emphasis on performance marketing.
• Internet República: Spanish digital agency offering web design, development, and digital strategy. Comparable full-service agency profile with focus on Spanish-language markets.
