The verdict in three sentences
In Port Louis, an aesthetic clinic website typically costs 3 000 to 20 000+ USD from a Mauritian agency and 1 000 to 5 000 USD from a freelancer (2026 ballpark, converted to USD, wide ranges depending on scope). Kolonell charges a fixed 2 900, 4 900 or 8 900 USD, with native English or French copy and delivery in 3 to 4 weeks; the bilingual English/French site, often essential in Mauritius, is included from Premium. To be clear: for a small single-language site, a good Mauritian freelancer may cost less than Kolonell, and a local agency can organise a shoot in your clinic, which we do not.
This article is written for English-speaking clinic owners and expat practitioners in Mauritius, and it compares only prices and what they cover.
What does an aesthetic clinic website cost in Port Louis in 2026?
The Mauritian web market is active, between Port Louis, Ebene and the office parks in the centre of the island. Local agencies rarely publish prices; their public rate cards, Clutch.co profiles and freelancer rates on Upwork or Malt give orders of magnitude. The amounts below stay prudent.
| Option | Price (2026 ballpark) | Delay | Usually included | Support |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mauritian agency, custom build | 3 000 to 20 000+ USD | 5 to 10 weeks | Design, development, often EN/FR, sometimes a shoot | Monthly retainer, varies |
| Local or online freelancer | 1 000 to 5 000 USD | 2 to 6 weeks | Adapted theme, clinic supplies copy | Ad hoc |
| Kolonell Starter | 2 900 USD | 3 to 4 weeks | 5 custom pages, contact form, video call booking, basic SEO, native EN or FR copy | 3 months included |
| Kolonell Growth | 4 900 USD | 3 to 4 weeks | 10+ pages, blog, advanced analytics, full SEO, store with Stripe card payments | 3 months included |
| Kolonell Premium | 8 900 USD | usually 4 to 6 weeks | Unlimited pages, bilingual EN/FR site (multilingual 2+ languages), PWA, expert SEO | 6 months included |
All plans are detailed on our international website offer. Payment is by bank transfer or Wise, 50 % to start and 50 % at delivery.
What does an aesthetic clinic site in Port Louis need?
A Mauritian clinic serves two audiences: residents (Mauritians, expats, retirees settled under the residence schemes) and visiting patients from Reunion, South Africa, Europe and mainland Africa who combine a stay with a treatment. The first group often reads French, the second English.
- Treatment pages limited to procedures you actually perform: factual description, practitioner who performs it, prior consultation, aftercare and contraindications to discuss in consultation.
- Practitioner pages with qualifications and registration with the relevant medical authority.
- "Patients from abroad" pages: remote consultation then in-person visit, length of stay to plan, no promise of results.
- Booking via a link or widget from your current software; a custom integration is quoted on request.
- Consultation and medical history forms through a provider suited to health data.
- Before/after only with written consent and within the applicable advertising rules.
- Languages: English and French written by Kolonell; Kreol or other languages supplied by the clinic or quoted separately.
Compliance, stated factually: Mauritius applies the Data Protection Act 2017, overseen by the Data Protection Office, and health data is sensitive data. Practice and communication by health professionals fall under the Ministry of Health and the medical council, and advertising prescription medicines is regulated: the clinic must have its content validated. This is not legal advice.
What is the real cost over three years?
| Cost line over 3 years | Mauritian agency (mid range) | Freelancer | Kolonell Growth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build | 8 000 USD | 3 000 USD | 4 900 USD |
| Support included | 1 to 3 months | Rarely | 3 months |
| Maintenance (assumption: 120 USD/month) | 33 months, 3 960 USD | 36 months, 4 320 USD | 33 months, 3 960 USD (quoted, assumption) |
| French version | Often included | To be quoted | Bilingual included from Premium |
| Photo shoot | Sometimes included | No | No, book a local photographer |
| Indicative total | about 11 960 USD | about 7 320 USD | about 8 860 USD |
The freelancer is cheaper on paper: check who writes the treatment copy, who holds the domain and what happens if that person becomes unavailable. Kolonell maintenance after support is quoted, the 120 USD is only for comparison. Ongoing SEO work is also quoted on request.
Which questions should you ask before signing?
| Question | Expected answer |
|---|---|
| Is the domain in the clinic's name? | Yes, with all access handed over |
| Are treatment pages written or to be supplied? | Copy included, or a clear cost |
| Is the site truly bilingual? | Two full versions, not a machine translator |
| Where do health forms go? | Named provider, restricted access |
| What does support cover? | Fixes, small changes, written duration |
| Who supplies photos? | Rights owner and consents identified |

Mini case study
Illustrative example (hypothetical): Dr Nadia, an aesthetic physician, opens a two-room clinic in Port Louis targeting both French-speaking residents and English-speaking patients from South Africa and Europe. A local agency offers a bilingual site at 9 000 USD, then 120 USD a month: 9 000 + 33 x 120 = 12 960 USD over three years.
With Kolonell Premium at 8 900 USD (EN/FR written natively, 6 months of support), plus a half-day local shoot (assumption: 500 USD) and the same 120 USD maintenance afterwards: 8 900 + 500 + 30 x 120 = 13 000 USD. At a near-identical budget, the decision rests on other criteria: copy quality in both languages, the store and PWA included in Premium, or the agency's physical presence. With an English-only site, Growth at 4 900 USD would bring the total to about 9 360 USD.
