The verdict in three sentences
For a dental practice in St Peter Port, a Guernsey studio or a UK agency typically quotes within a 2026 ballpark of 6 000 to 30 000+ GBP, and a freelancer 2 000 to 8 000 GBP, depending on page count, languages and booking work. Kolonell builds the site for a fixed 2 300, 3 900 or 6 900 GBP, with native English copy (French too), a project manager on Guernsey time and a 3 to 4 week build. Since many island practices end up working remotely with an off-island provider anyway, the choice comes down to what is included and who owns the result.
What do providers serving Guernsey charge?
St Peter Port has a handful of local studios and freelancers, and practices often hire agencies in Jersey or on the UK mainland. The ranges below are wide 2026 ballparks drawn from public rate cards of UK and Channel Islands agencies, Clutch.co profiles listing minimum project sizes and freelance platform rates. They are not official figures and vary a lot with scope.
| Guernsey studio or UK agency | Freelancer | Kolonell | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical build price | 6 000 to 30 000+ GBP | 2 000 to 8 000 GBP | 2 300 / 3 900 / 6 900 GBP, fixed |
| Pricing model | Quote after discovery, sometimes phased | Day rate or fixed fee | Fixed price, written scope |
| Copywriting | Often an add-on | Usually supplied by the practice | Native English copy included, French available |
| Booking | Embed or custom, priced separately | Embed | Embed or link to your existing software included; custom integration quoted |
| Delivery | Varies with the agency's pipeline | Depends on availability | 3 to 4 weeks (Premium: 4 to 6, written schedule) |
| Support | Monthly retainer | Ad hoc | 3 months included, 6 on Premium |
| Ownership | Check the contract | Check the contract | Domain in the practice's name, all access handed over |
A Guernsey studio is worth paying more for if you want regular in-person meetings or a provider who can come to the practice for photography at short notice. If not, you are mostly comparing the same deliverables at different prices.

What does a St Peter Port practice website need?
Your patients include islanders, finance and fiduciary professionals, Portuguese and Latvian communities, and people travelling in from Alderney, Sark and Herm, for whom an emergency slot or a clear opening-hours page matters.
- Treatment pages for what you offer: examinations, hygiene, emergency appointments, children's dentistry, clear aligners, implants, whitening.
- Fees and payment: most dental care on the island is private, so a clear fee guide or practice plan page reduces phone calls; describe any island scheme you take part in exactly as the practice confirms it.
- Online booking embedded or linked from your practice management software; a custom integration is quoted on request.
- New patient forms: Guernsey has its own data protection law, the Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2017, overseen by the Office of the Data Protection Authority. Medical histories are special category data, so use a compliant form provider.
- Registration and advertising: dentists practising in Guernsey must meet the Bailiwick's registration requirements, and GDC standards on advertising apply to GDC-registered professionals. The practice checks claims, before/after images (only with consent) and reviews. This is not legal advice.
- Languages: Kolonell writes natively in English and French. Portuguese or Latvian pages are supplied by the practice or quoted separately.
What does it cost over 3 years?
Hosting and domain are third-party costs whoever builds the site; Kolonell maintenance after the included support is quoted, so the illustrative line uses the same assumed care budget for both.

| Hosting and domain | 150 to 400 GBP a year | 150 to 400 GBP a year |
| Care plan (assumed, same for both) | 1 000 GBP a year | 1 000 GBP a year after included support |

Mini case study
Illustrative example: Dr James Ogier runs a four-chair private practice in St Peter Port that also sees patients from Alderney. A provider quotes 10 500 GBP for 15 pages plus an 80 GBP monthly retainer: 10 500 + 2 880 = 13 380 GBP over 3 years. Kolonell Growth builds the same 15 pages, copy included, for 3 900 GBP with 3 months of support; adding the same 80 GBP a month for the remaining 33 months (2 640 GBP) gives 6 540 GBP. The 6 840 GBP difference can fund photography, a French version later on Premium, or simply stay in the practice.
