The verdict in three sentences
In Raleigh, a dental practice gets quotes from local agencies that range, in a 2026 ballpark, from 10 000 to 35 000+ USD, and from 3 000 to 12 000 USD with a freelancer. Kolonell delivers a dental practice website at 2 900, 4 900 or 8 900 USD at a fixed price, in 3 to 4 weeks, with a project manager aligned on East Coast hours. Two quotes can only be compared line by line: pages included, booking integration, copywriting, domain ownership and support.
What do Raleigh agencies charge for a dental practice?
These ranges are prudent and come from public rate cards of US agencies, minimum project sizes listed on Clutch.co profiles and freelance platform rates such as Upwork. They vary with scope: an 8 to 20 page site sits mid range, several locations or custom integrations push it up. Agency hourly rates commonly sit between 100 and 200 USD.
| Provider | 2026 ballpark | Timeline | Copywriting | Support |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Local agency, 8 to 20 page site | 10 000 to 25 000 USD | 8 to 12 weeks | often optional | monthly plan extra |
| Local agency, multi-location group | 25 000 to 35 000+ USD | 10 to 16 weeks | included or optional | monthly plan extra |
| Freelancer | 3 000 to 12 000 USD | 4 to 10 weeks | supplied by the practice | variable |
| Kolonell Starter | 2 900 USD | 3 to 4 weeks | native English included | 3 months |
| Kolonell Growth | 4 900 USD | 3 to 4 weeks | native English included | 3 months |
| Kolonell Premium | 8 900 USD | usually 4 to 6 weeks, written schedule | English and French included | 6 months |

Kolonell builds websites that attract clients, optimized for the Sénégalese market. Free quote in 2 minutes.
Local details: hours, emergency contact, access and parking for each address (Raleigh, Cary, North Hills), consistency with each Google Business Profile, fast mobile pages.
The rules: the North Carolina State Board of Dental Examiners, ADA guidance and FTC rules on testimonials and reviews frame dental advertising; the practice checks them. On data, the applicable federal and state laws must be checked by the practice, and accessibility to WCAG 2.1 AA limits ADA litigation risk. This is not legal advice.
Languages: we write in English and French; Spanish pages are supplied by the practice or quoted separately.
A real US reference: for TR Signing Group, a notary and apostille service in New Jersey, we delivered a bilingual English/French site with a booking calendar, quote requests, live chat and a back office.
Mini case study
Illustrative example: Dr. Martin, a Raleigh dentist, opens a second practice in Cary. A local quote offers 24 000 USD for a two-location site, plus 200 USD a month in maintenance. Over 36 months: 24 000 + 7 200 = 31 200 USD. With Kolonell Premium at 8 900 USD (one page per location, embedded booking, a French version for her French-speaking patients) and hosting estimated at 40 USD a month paid directly, i.e. 1 440 USD: 10 340 USD. The gap reaches 20 860 USD over three years, before whatever maintenance she picks after the 6 months of support. For your own figures, use our free quote form.
