Immigration and relocation firm website cost in Bath: local agencies vs Kolonell (2026)

The verdict in three sentences

In Bath, a website for an immigration and relocation firm costs, as a 2026 order of magnitude, from 5 000 to 20 000 GBP with a local agency and from 1 500 to 5 500 GBP with a freelancer, often without copywriting. Kolonell delivers the family pages, the employer offer and the school and neighbourhood guides at a fixed price: 2 300, 3 900 or 6 900 GBP, with native English or French copy included, in 3 to 4 weeks for Starter and Growth. Against a good regional freelancer the price gap is small: the difference lies mainly in the project manager, the included copywriting and full ownership of the site.

How far apart are Bath quotes?

These ranges are cautious. They rely on public price lists of agencies in Bath and Bristol, minimum project sizes shown on Clutch.co, hourly rates published by local agencies (often 55 to 100 GBP per hour) and rates visible on Upwork and PeoplePerHour.

Payment is by bank transfer or Wise, 50 % at kickoff and 50 % on delivery, and a written update arrives every week. The team is in Senegal (GMT), on Bath time in winter and one hour behind in summer. The packages are on our international websites page.

What is the three-year bill?

Kolonell maintenance after the support period is quoted separately, so the table applies the same assumption to all three options.

A freelancer remains a credible option if you write the copy yourself and the person stays available over time. Ask each supplier to fill in this table.

Advice, relocation or both: how should you present yourself?

In the United Kingdom, only advisers registered with the Immigration Advice Authority (IAA, formerly the OISC) and authorised lawyers, such as solicitors regulated by the SRA, may give immigration advice; doing so without authorisation is an offence. A relocation company that helps find a house, a school or a GP does not advise on visas. If your firm does both, the site explains it: the adviser's name, IAA registration number and level, the scope of relocation, the partners. No promise of a visa, a timeline or an outcome, in the copy or in the headings.

What do families and employers moving to Bath look for?

Bath, a UNESCO World Heritage city, draws international families for its independent schools, many with boarding, academics at the University of Bath and Bath Spa, executives splitting their week between Bath, Bristol and London thanks to direct trains to Paddington, and West of England engineering and technology employers recruiting from abroad. The requests to present: transferred employees and Skilled Worker, families and dependants, students, Global Talent, as types of cases and never as a promise.

• A families page: independent and state schools, the Bath and North East Somerset Council admissions calendar, joining a school mid-year.
• Housing guides: Georgian terraces that are often listed, high rents in the centre, villages around the city.
• An HR offer for employers: packages per hire, reporting, a single point of contact.
• Appointment booking through a third-party tool; a bespoke calendar is quoted separately.
• Secure document upload, never by plain email, and a minimal contact form.

Forms fall under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, especially for children's data and identity documents. The Equality Act 2010 applies to online services; WCAG 2.2 AA serves as the technical reference. This is not legal advice.

Which package suits which firm?

Which questions should you put to every supplier?

• Who writes the school guides, and who checks admission dates?
• Are the domain, hosting and booking tool in your name?
• How is children's data handled in the forms?
• What happens if the freelancer is no longer available in six months?
• Does the proposed copy contain promises of results or timelines?

Mini case study

Illustrative example. Sophie L., an IAA-registered adviser, runs a two-person firm in Bath with a relocation service for families. A local freelancer offers 4 200 GBP without copywriting, in 9 weeks; she would need to pay a copywriter 1 500 GBP. A Bath agency offers 13 000 GBP. Kolonell offers Growth at 3 900 GBP, copy included, in 4 weeks.

Freelancer plus copywriter: 5 700 GBP, i.e. 1 800 GBP more than Kolonell; the agency costs 9 100 GBP more. The gap with the freelancer is modest: Sophie chooses Kolonell for native copywriting and the project manager, and books a Bath photographer for 450 GBP.

FAQ

How much does a relocation firm website cost in Bath in 2026?

As an order of magnitude, 5 000 to 20 000 GBP with an agency and 1 500 to 5 500 GBP with a freelancer. Kolonell charges 2 300, 3 900 or 6 900 GBP, copywriting included.

Isn't a Bath freelancer just as good value?

Sometimes, yes: if you write your own copy, a freelancer at 3 000 GBP can work. Kolonell makes sense when you want copywriting, a project manager and a 3 to 4 week timeline.

Can you meet us in Bath?

No, we do not hold in-person meetings. We work through Google Meet at your time, with a written update every week.

Can the site present private schools?

Yes, as factual guides: 6 guides are included in Growth. Name schools carefully and never with an invented ranking.

What happens after the 3 months of support?

Maintenance is quoted separately, with no imposed commitment. Since the domain and all access belong to you, you can also hand the site to a local provider.
