How much should a Montreux aesthetic clinic pay for a website? Local agencies vs Kolonell (2026)

The verdict in three sentences

In Montreux, an agency from the Riviera or Lausanne usually quotes a 2026 ballpark of 10 000 to 35 000+ CHF for an aesthetic clinic website, and a freelancer 3 000 to 9 000 CHF. Kolonell offers three fixed prices in Swiss francs, 2 700, 4 500 and 8 200 CHF, with native English or French copywriting, a project manager available at your hours and launch in 3 to 4 weeks. For an English-speaking clinic owner who needs a French and English site to reach both local patients and the international clientele, Premium covers both languages without outside translation, which a local agency often bills as a second project.

What do Montreux and Riviera agencies charge?

There is no official rate card for website projects in French-speaking Switzerland. The ranges below are prudent 2026 orders of magnitude drawn from sources any manager can check: public rate cards of agencies in the Lake Geneva region, minimum project sizes on Clutch.co profiles, rates displayed on freelance platforms (Malt, Upwork) and the hourly rates of 120 to 200 CHF that Swiss digital agencies commonly publish. Amounts vary widely with the number of treatment pages, an online store and the number of languages.

The Kolonell price is fixed in Swiss francs in the written quote, payable by bank transfer or Wise, 50 % at kickoff and 50 % at delivery. The domain is registered in the clinic's name and all access is handed over. The team works from Senegal (GMT), only one or two hours away from Swiss time, so Google Meet calls fit around your consultation hours. Plan details are on Kolonell's international website offer.

What does each plan cover for an aesthetic clinic?

A custom integration with a practice management system, a patient portal or an internal dashboard falls outside this grid and is quoted on request.

What a Riviera aesthetic clinic site must get right

Montreux draws French-speaking local patients and an international clientele living on or visiting the Riviera. The site has to serve both without ever overstepping on the medical side.

• Factual treatment pages: only procedures the clinic performs, with how they work, who performs them, the prior consultation and aftercare. No promise of results, no wording such as painless or risk free.
• Practitioner credibility: training, specialist titles and the licence to practise issued by the canton of Vaud where relevant.
• Health data: a medical history form collects sensitive data under the Swiss nLPD (revFADP, in force since 1 September 2023). It needs a suitable tool and a clear privacy notice.
• Medical advertising: Swissmedic rules restrict advertising prescription-only medicines to the public, and cantonal health rules apply. Before/after images are published only with written consent and within these rules, which the clinic checks. This is not legal advice.
• Languages of the clientele: English and French written by Kolonell; any German, Russian or Arabic is supplied by the clinic or quoted separately.
• Images: Kolonell does not organise on-site shoots. A photographer from the region, booked directly by the clinic, remains a real strength of the local ecosystem.

How do you compare two quotes without getting it wrong?

Ask each provider for the named list of pages, the number of languages included, who writes the medical copy and who validates it, exactly what post-launch maintenance covers, and whose name the domain is in. Be wary of a very low package with no written content, hosting in the agency's name with no handover clause, and any provider promising a number of patients or a top Google ranking.

Mini case study

Illustrative example, not a real client. Sophie, a British-born director of a medical aesthetics centre on the Montreux lakefront, wants a 14-page site in French and English. A local agency proposes 18 000 CHF over 10 weeks, English translation included. With Kolonell Premium, the bilingual site costs 8 200 CHF; she adds 1 500 CHF for a half-day with a photographer from Vevey, so 9 700 CHF in total, delivered in 4 to 6 weeks with 6 months of support. The gap is 8 300 CHF, or 46 % of the original quote, which she sets aside for a second shoot and local campaigns.
