The verdict in three sentences
For a scale-up, the corporate site is not a brochure: it is the first document investors, partners and large clients read. In 2026 in Amsterdam, a credible relaunch sits between 20,000 and 60,000 EUR for 20 to 35 bilingual pages, delivered in 12 to 18 weeks. The decisive lever is content governance: a headless CMS lets the communications team publish fast and consistently across the whole group.
Relaunch budget: the 2026 tiers
Scope depends on the number of entities, languages and level of integration. Here are 2026 orders of magnitude for an Amsterdam-based scale-up.
| Tier | 2026 budget (EUR) | Pages | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard corporate relaunch | 20,000-30,000 | 20-25 | 12-14 wks |
| Premium bilingual relaunch | 30,000-45,000 | 25-30 | 14-16 wks |
| Group + entities + press area | 45,000-60,000 | 30-35 | 16-18 wks |
| Multi-site + light intranet | 60,000+ | 35+ | 18-22 wks |
These amounts include bespoke design, the headless CMS and QA; EU hosting with CDN is then billed 70 to 180 EUR/month.
Relaunch checklist: stages and deliverables
A group relaunch is run by clear milestones to hold the timeline and budget.
| Stage | Duration | Key deliverable |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery and existing audit | 2 wks | IA, KPIs, redirect plan |
| Design and mockups | 3 wks | Approved mockups (both languages) |
| Integration and headless CMS | 4-5 wks | Templates, editorial governance |
| Content and translation | 3 wks | Copy, entity pages, press |
| QA, performance and SEO | 2 wks | Redirects, Core Web Vitals, analytics |
| Go-live and training | 1 wk | Live site, trained team |
The redirect plan is the most underestimated point: done badly, it destroys the SEO built on the old domain.

Mini case study
Sarah is the COO of an Amsterdam scale-up with 4 business units, leading the relaunch of a site dating from 2016. Chosen budget: 42,000 EUR for 28 bilingual pages and a headless CMS, plus 130 EUR/month for EU hosting with CDN. Before the relaunch, the team took 6 days to publish an approved release across all units. With the new editorial governance, that drops to half a day. Over 40 publications a year and an internal cost estimated at 200 EUR per person-day, the time saved represents 44,000 EUR of avoided cost over three years, not counting the credibility regained with investors.
FAQ
Why does a group corporate site cost this much? Because it combines bespoke design, bilingualism, multi-entity content governance and hardened security. Each of these adds value but also production effort, hence the 20,000 to 60,000 EUR range.
Do we need a headless CMS? For a group that publishes often and runs several entities, yes: it separates content from display, speeds publishing and prepares the future addition of entity sites. Budget 5,000 to 10,000 EUR more than a classic CMS.
How long does the relaunch take? From 12 to 18 weeks depending on the number of pages and languages. Content and translation are the longest items to sign off internally.
Why host in the EU with a CDN? For speed and availability with international partners, while keeping acceptable load times across regions. Budget 70 to 180 EUR/month.
How do we avoid losing existing SEO? With a rigorous 301 redirect plan between old and new URLs, validated before go-live. It is the insurance policy for your organic traffic.
