The verdict in three sentences
In 2026, a B2B showcase website for a consulting firm sits between 8,000 and 18,000 EUR (net), depending on the number of expertise pages and the level of customization. Each expertise or case-study page costs 400 to 800 EUR individually, and a thought-leadership blog adds around 2,500 EUR. Nearshore cuts the day rate by 30 to 45% versus the local 450-650 EUR, without sacrificing quality when scoping is solid.
Ranges and priorities for a consulting firm
For a firm, credibility comes first: proof (expertise, case studies, testimonials) is what converts a large-account prospect. The budget should therefore follow conversion priorities, not just page count.
| Element | Net price 2026 | Conversion priority |
|---|---|---|
| 6-8 page showcase base | 8,000-12,000 EUR | High |
| Expertise page (unit) | 400-800 EUR | High |
| Client case study (unit) | 500-900 EUR | Very high |
| Thought-leadership blog | +2,500 EUR | Medium-high |
| Video testimonials section | +1,500-3,000 EUR | High |
| Technical + local SEO | +1,800-3,500 EUR | High |
Case studies are the best-return investment: they answer the question a procurement director really asks, namely proof of measurable results. Prioritize them before visual effects.
Local versus nearshore: the cost gap
The day rate is the main budget lever. Precise scoping lets you hand production to a nearshore team while keeping strategy local.
| Line item | Local day rate | Nearshore day rate | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Art direction | 600 EUR | 380 EUR | -37% |
| UI design | 550 EUR | 320 EUR | -42% |
| Front-end development | 500 EUR | 280 EUR | -44% |
| CMS integration | 480 EUR | 300 EUR | -38% |
| Technical SEO | 550 EUR | 350 EUR | -36% |
On a 14,000 EUR net local project, a nearshore model brings the budget to around 8,500-9,500 EUR net, a 30 to 45% saving. Risk is controlled through a precise brief and regular checkpoints.
Mini case study
Laurent, managing partner of a strategy consulting firm (12 consultants), budgets a site at 12,000 EUR net nearshore, versus 18,000 EUR locally. He reinvests the 6,000 EUR saving into 6 extra case studies at 700 EUR each (4,200 EUR). This proof lifts his meeting-booking rate from 2% to 3.5% on 1,500 visits/month, i.e. 8 more qualified meetings. With an average engagement of 25,000 EUR and a 15% close rate, that is about 30,000 EUR of additional revenue/month at steady state.

FAQ
Why does a firm's site cost less than an institutional one?
Because it targets credibility and lead generation, not multilingual governance or large content volumes. The budget concentrates on proof and SEO.
How many case studies do I need at launch?
Aim for 4 to 6 solid case studies at 500-900 EUR each. This is the content that converts best with a large-account buyer.
Is the thought-leadership blog worth it?
Yes over the medium term: about 2,500 EUR to set up, then a stream of articles feeding SEO and credibility. It must be sustained to pay off.
Does nearshore degrade quality?
Not if scoping is precise and strategy is steered locally. The 30-to-45% saving is precisely what funds more content and proof.
What is the timeline for a firm's site in 2026?
Plan 6 to 10 weeks depending on the number of case studies and content readiness. Collecting client testimonials is often the limiting factor.
