Architecture firm website cost in Luxembourg: local agencies or Kolonell (2026)?

The verdict in three sentences

In Luxembourg, an architecture firm website from a local agency usually costs 6 000 to 35 000+ EUR (2026 ballpark), with the Grand Duchy's cost level often putting quotes at the top of that range, against 2 500 to 9 000 EUR from a freelancer. Kolonell builds a comparable portfolio site for a fixed 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 EUR, with native English or French copy, while German or Luxembourgish is supplied by the firm or quoted separately. For an English-speaking practice in Luxembourg, the price gap matters less than three things: how projects are presented, the rights to the images, and the real cost over three years.

What do Luxembourg agencies charge for an architecture firm site?

The following ranges are wide out of caution. They rely on the public rate cards of agencies in the Greater Region, minimum budgets listed on Clutch.co profiles, and freelance rates visible on Malt or Upwork. They vary with the number of projects to show, the art direction and the languages.

A firm site presenting 10 to 20 projects sits in the middle of the agency range. A heavily animated portfolio, three or four languages and rich project sheets (plans, phases, awards) push quotes higher. Details are on our international website offer.

What an architecture firm needs from its website in Luxembourg

A public client, a developer or a private owner visiting your site looks for proof that you can deliver projects like theirs. The site has to show it fast.

• Project pages: one sheet per project, with programme, floor area, phase (competition, design, completed), the client's name if they allow it, and a selection of high-quality images.
• Filters by type (housing, offices, public buildings, renovation) for firms with a large portfolio.
• Competitions and awards, presented factually, without overstatement.
• Team and skills: partners, architects, partner engineers, languages spoken.
• Image rights: photos by architectural photographers and 3D renderings are protected by copyright. The firm checks that it holds web publication rights and the credits to display, and has the client's consent for private projects.
• Contact and applications: project enquiry form, careers page, downloadable documents.
• Languages: French, German, Luxembourgish and English coexist in the Grand Duchy. Kolonell writes English and French natively; German and Luxembourgish are supplied by the firm or quoted separately.

On regulation, the practice and communication of architects in Luxembourg fall under the professional rules of the OAI (Ordre des Architectes et des Ingénieurs-Conseils), which the firm checks itself. The GDPR applies to contact and application forms, and the European Accessibility Act applies from 28 June 2025 to certain services. This is not legal advice.

How do you compare two quotes over three years?

For an architecture site, the most underestimated cost is updating the portfolio: every completed project has to go in. Ask who will do it, and at what price.

Kolonell runs the project remotely: a project manager in your time zone, Google Meet calls at a time that suits you, a written update every week. The team is based in Senegal (GMT), one or two hours behind Luxembourg depending on the season. The domain is registered in the firm's name, all access is handed over at delivery, and payment is by bank transfer or Wise, 50% to start and 50% at delivery. For an example of project pages and a multilingual site, see Orven Properties (orvenproperties.com), an off-plan real estate advisory in Dubai with a trilingual FR/EN/AR site, project pages and investor guides.

Mini case study

Illustrative example. Sophie L. is a partner in a hypothetical six-architect firm in Limpertsberg. She wants an 18-project portfolio in English and French, with a few pages in German.

• Local design agency: 22 000 EUR quote, then a 180 EUR monthly retainer over 36 months (6 480 EUR): 28 480 EUR over three years.
• Kolonell Premium: 8 200 EUR with 6 months of support, German pages translated by a local provider for 1 200 EUR, and for the comparison the same 180 EUR a month over 30 months (5 400 EUR, Kolonell maintenance being quoted): 14 800 EUR.

The gap reaches 13 680 EUR, about 48% of the agency budget. It narrows if the firm wants art direction with in-person workshops or a new photo campaign organised on site by the local agency: include it in the comparison if that is your priority.
