The verdict in three sentences
A dental practice website in Nassau typically costs 6 000 to 35 000+ USD from a Bahamian or Florida agency in 2026 (2026 ballpark), and 2 500 to 9 000 USD from a freelancer, with most real projects landing somewhere in the middle. Kolonell's fixed prices are 2 900, 4 900 and 8 900 USD, with native English copy, delivery in 3 to 4 weeks and 3 months of support (6 on Premium). The cheapest option is not always the cheapest over three years: compare what is included, who owns the domain and what the monthly fees add up to.
What do Nassau agencies and freelancers charge?
The ranges below are prudent 2026 orders of magnitude, built from the public rate cards of agencies in Nassau and South Florida, the minimum project sizes listed on Clutch.co agency profiles and freelance platform rates (Upwork and similar). The Bahamas is a small market and many practices compare local quotes with Miami or Fort Lauderdale firms. Published hourly rates of US digital agencies commonly sit around 100 to 200 USD per hour; Bahamian agencies often quote per project.
| Option | Build price (2026 ballpark) | Typical delay | Usually included | Monthly fees after launch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nassau agency | 6 000 to 25 000 USD | 6 to 10 weeks | Design, build, local meetings, copy sometimes extra | Care plan, often 100 to 300 USD per month |
| South Florida dental marketing agency | 10 000 to 35 000+ USD | 8 to 12 weeks | Site plus SEO or ads package | Often a 12 to 24 month contract |
| Freelancer, local or Upwork | 2 500 to 9 000 USD | 3 to 8 weeks | Build, copy usually yours | Hourly, when available |
| Kolonell Starter | 2 900 USD | 3 to 4 weeks | Compact site, copy, booking link | None for 3 months, then quoted |
| Kolonell Growth | 4 900 USD | 3 to 4 weeks | Treatment pages, booking embed, forms | None for 3 months, then quoted |
| Kolonell Premium | 8 900 USD | Usually 4 to 6 weeks | Larger site, advanced design, FR/EN available | None for 6 months, then quoted |

What does a Nassau dental practice site need?
Nassau practices serve residents of New Providence, patients who fly in from the Family Islands for treatment, and visitors from cruise ships and resorts who need urgent care. That mix shapes the site.
- Emergency dentistry first: a visible phone number, opening hours, what counts as an emergency and how fast a patient can be seen.
- Treatment pages only for what you offer: check-ups and cleaning, fillings, crowns, implants, orthodontics or clear aligners, whitening, children's dentistry.
- Practical pages for Family Island patients: how to plan a visit, what to bring, how follow-up works.
- Online booking through your existing tool, linked or embedded. A custom connection to your practice management software is quoted on request.
- Insurance and payment information: the private insurers you work with and any public scheme you take part in, payment methods, stated generically.
- Languages: English first. Nassau has a large Haitian community; if you want key pages in Haitian Creole or French, French is written natively by Kolonell and Creole text is supplied by you or quoted separately.
On rules: dentists in The Bahamas are licensed by a professional body whose standards can cover advertising, and the country has data protection legislation covering personal information you collect online. Check testimonials and before-and-after images against those rules, use a provider suited to health data for patient forms, and never promise clinical outcomes. This is not legal advice.
How do you compare quotes line by line?
Use this checklist on every proposal, including ours. If a line is missing, ask for it in writing.
| Question to ask | Why it matters | What a good answer looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Whose name is the domain registered in? | Changing provider later depends on it | The practice's name, with your login |
| Is copywriting included? | Writing 10 treatment pages takes real time | Yes, with a revision round |
| How is online booking connected? | A broken booking link costs appointments | Link or embed of your current tool, tested at launch |
| What are the monthly fees and exit terms? | 200 USD a month is 7 200 USD over 3 years | Clear amount, cancellable |
| Where does patient form data go? | Health data needs a suitable provider | Named provider, not plain email |
| What happens after launch? | Bugs appear in the first weeks | A defined support period |
Applied to three years, the differences are large. A mid-scope Nassau agency at 12 000 USD plus 150 USD a month reaches 17 400 USD. Kolonell Growth at 4 900 USD plus your own hosting and a maintenance budget usually stays under 9 000 USD. A 4 000 USD freelancer can work well, but check availability: a site nobody can update after month six is expensive in other ways. To get a fixed reference, request a free quote.
Red flags: no written scope, the domain held by the provider, sites locked on a proprietary builder, promises of first-page rankings, and reviews or photos used without patient consent.

Mini case study
Illustrative example, not a real client. Dr. Rolle runs a single-dentist practice near downtown Nassau and wants seven treatment pages, an emergency page and a booking embed. A local agency quotes 12 000 USD plus a 150 USD care plan: 12 000 + 5 400 = 17 400 USD over three years. With Kolonell Growth, she pays 4 900 USD, budgets an assumed 900 USD a year for later updates (her own estimate, maintenance is quoted) and about 350 USD a year for hosting: 4 900 + 2 700 + 1 050 = 8 650 USD. The difference, about 8 750 USD, covers a local photo shoot and a year of printed material for the waiting room. Calls take place in the Nassau morning, which overlaps with the team based in Senegal (GMT).
