The verdict in three sentences
In Victoria, Seychelles, the local offer is limited: an aesthetic clinic website usually costs 2 500 to 15 000+ USD from a Seychellois studio or a regional agency (Mauritius, South Africa, Dubai) and 800 to 4 000 USD from a freelancer, as a 2026 ballpark depending on scope. Kolonell offers 2 900, 4 900 or 8 900 USD at a fixed price, native English or French copy, a project manager on your time zone and delivery in 3 to 4 weeks. A studio on the island keeps a real advantage: it can photograph your clinic and meet you on Mahé, which Kolonell does not.
This article is for English-speaking practitioners and expat owners in the Seychelles, and covers strictly price and how to compare quotes.
What does an aesthetic clinic website cost in Victoria in 2026?
The Seychelles market has a few studios and independents; many clinics and hotels also approach agencies in Mauritius, Johannesburg, Cape Town or Dubai. Public prices are rare: the ranges below draw on rate cards published by some regional agencies, Clutch.co profiles and freelancer rates on Upwork. They stay wide and prudent.
| Option | Price (2026 ballpark) | Delay | Usually included | Support |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seychellois studio | 2 500 to 12 000 USD | 4 to 10 weeks | Custom or theme site, in-person meeting, sometimes photos | Varies |
| Regional agency (Mauritius, South Africa, Dubai) | 4 000 to 15 000+ USD | 6 to 10 weeks | Custom build, remote project management | Monthly retainer |
| Freelancer (local or online) | 800 to 4 000 USD | 2 to 6 weeks | Adapted theme, copy supplied | Ad hoc |
| Kolonell Starter | 2 900 USD | 3 to 4 weeks | 5 custom pages, contact form, video call booking, basic SEO | 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 (multilingual 2+ languages), PWA, expert SEO | 6 months included |
Plans are detailed on our international website offer. Payment by bank transfer or Wise, 50 % to start, 50 % at delivery; domain registered in the clinic's name.
What does an aesthetic clinic in Victoria need online?
Patients include Seychellois residents, expats and guests from the resorts on Mahé, Praslin or La Digue looking for a treatment during their stay, on their phone. The site must be light, fast on an average mobile connection and reassuring.
- Treatment pages for procedures you actually offer, described factually: what it is, who performs it, prior consultation, aftercare.
- Practitioner pages with qualifications and registration with the Seychelles health authorities.
- Practical information for visitors: access from hotels, prior consultation, time to allow before sun exposure if the practitioner advises it.
- Booking via a link or widget from your software; custom integration quoted on request.
- Consultation forms collected through a provider suited to health data.
- Before/after only with written consent and within the applicable advertising rules.
- Languages: English, French and Seychellois Creole are official. Kolonell writes English and French (bilingual included from Premium); Creole is supplied by the clinic or quoted separately.
Compliance, stated factually: the Seychelles has personal data protection legislation, and health data calls for particular care. Practice and advertising by health professionals fall under the Ministry of Health and the bodies that register practitioners, and the promotion of prescription medicines is regulated: the clinic must validate its content. This is not legal advice.
How much over three years, all in?
| Cost line over 3 years | Studio or regional agency (mid range) | Freelancer | Kolonell Starter |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build | 7 000 USD | 2 500 USD | 2 900 USD |
| Support included | 1 to 3 months | Rarely | 3 months |
| Maintenance (assumption: 100 USD/month) | 33 months, 3 300 USD | 36 months, 3 600 USD | 33 months, 3 300 USD (quoted, assumption) |
| Treatment copy | Varies | Supplied by the clinic | Written in native EN or FR |
| Photos | Possible on site | No | No, book a local photographer |
| Indicative total | about 10 300 USD | about 6 100 USD | about 6 200 USD |
Against a freelancer the gap is small: the difference lies in who writes the treatment pages, project management and ownership of access. Kolonell maintenance after support and ongoing SEO work are quoted on request.
How should you compare quotes?
| Criterion | What to require |
|---|---|
| Scope | Named list of pages and treatments |
| Copy | Who writes, in which language, how many review rounds |
| Booking | Link, embed or development, with its price |
| Health data | Named form provider |
| Ownership | Domain and access in the clinic's name |
| After launch | Written support period, maintenance rate |

Red flags: domain in the provider's name, a "bilingual" site machine-translated, promises of patients or rankings, before/after galleries without consent.
Mini case study
Illustrative example (hypothetical): Dr James, a British-trained doctor based in Victoria, opens an aesthetic medicine practice and wants to sell a small range of skincare products. A Mauritian agency quotes 7 500 USD then 130 USD a month: 7 500 + 33 x 130 = 11 790 USD over three years.
With Kolonell Growth at 4 900 USD (treatment pages written in English, store with Stripe card payments), a half-day shoot with a Mahé photographer (assumption: 400 USD) and the same 130 USD maintenance after the 3 included months: 4 900 + 400 + 33 x 130 = 9 590 USD, about 2 200 USD less. If he wants a full French version for European visitors, he needs Premium (8 900 USD): with 6 months of support the total then rises to about 13 200 USD, above the agency. The right choice therefore depends first on the language question.
FAQ
What is the minimum budget for an aesthetic clinic site in the Seychelles?
A freelancer often starts around 800 to 1 500 USD on a theme, a local studio around 2 500 USD. Kolonell Starter is 2 900 USD for 5 custom pages with native copy.
Can the site be in English and French?
Yes, bilingual EN/FR is included from Premium (8 900 USD). Seychellois Creole is supplied by the clinic or quoted separately.
How do we communicate?
The team works on GMT, 4 hours behind the Seychelles. Google Meet calls are set in the early afternoon in Victoria, with a written weekly update.
Who supplies the photos?
The Kolonell grid does not include a shoot: you supply your images or book a local photographer, often for half a day. That is a genuine point in favour of an island studio.
