The verdict in three sentences
In Denver, an immigration and relocation firm website built by a local agency costs, as a 2026 ballpark, between 12 000 and 45 000 USD, more if a custom client portal is planned. Kolonell builds the pages per client profile, the employer offer and the contact journey for a fixed price of 2 900, 4 900 or 8 900 USD, delivered in 3 to 4 weeks on Starter and Growth. The useful comparison is the 3-year total cost, and a point many quotes miss: the site must say clearly who gives legal advice and who organises the move.
What do Denver agencies, freelancers and Kolonell charge?
These ranges are prudent. They draw on public rate cards of Colorado agencies, minimum project sizes listed on Clutch.co profiles of Denver agencies (often 10 000 USD and up), hourly rates published by local agencies (often 125 to 200 USD per hour) and rates visible on Upwork. They vary with the number of client profiles served, languages and integrations.
| Criterion | Denver agency | Local freelancer | Kolonell |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build price, 2026 ballpark | 12 000 to 45 000 USD and up | 3 500 to 12 000 USD | 2 900 / 4 900 / 8 900 USD, fixed |
| Changes outside scope | Often 125 to 200 USD per hour | Often 60 to 110 USD per hour | Quoted before any work |
| Usual timeline | 8 to 14 weeks | 5 to 10 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks, Premium usually 4 to 6 |
| Copy for profile pages | Often billed separately | Rarely included | Native English or French copy included |
| Spanish version | Often offered as an option | Varies | Supplied by you or quoted separately |
| Team and neighbourhood photos | Shoot possible on site | Rarely | Not included: your images or a local photographer |
| Support after launch | Separate maintenance contract | Case by case | 3 months, 6 on Premium |
Payment is by bank transfer or Wise: 50 % at kickoff, 50 % at delivery. The project manager sets Google Meet calls at your hours and sends a written update every week; the team is in Senegal (GMT), 6 hours ahead of Denver in summer and 7 in winter. Full details are on our international website offer.
Attorney or relocation: what must the site show?
In the United States, only attorneys and representatives accredited by the Department of Justice, attached to a recognised organisation, may give legal advice on immigration. A relocation provider does not: it organises the move. Many Denver firms work in tandem, and the site must make that readable:
- Immigration counsel: assessing the situation, preparing and following up filings, handled by the attorney or partner law firm named on the site.
- Relocation and destination services: home search, school visits, opening accounts, the Colorado driver's licence, spouse support, programmes for HR teams.
- A who-does-what page naming the people involved and stating that relocation does not replace an attorney.
This clarity also protects the public against the notario risk, unauthorised intermediaries who present themselves as qualified. If the firm is a law firm, its advertising falls under the Colorado bar's rules of professional conduct. The site never promises a visa, a timeline or an outcome.
What does a Denver firm need online?
Demand comes from well-identified employers: aerospace around Littleton, Broomfield and Colorado Springs, the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, the universities in Boulder and Golden, tech companies in the Denver Tech Center, plus energy. The site has to speak to two audiences:
- Transferred employees and their families: engineers, researchers, physicians, with guides per neighbourhood (Highlands, Cherry Creek, Central Park, Boulder) and per school district.
- HR and mobility managers: relocation packages, lead times for organising a move, reporting, a dedicated contact.
- Types of filings presented as such, never as promises: intracompany transfers (L-1), specialty workers (H-1B), researchers and exchange visitors (J-1), employment-based green cards.
- A minimal form: first name, email, profile, city of origin. Identity documents go through a third-party secure upload tool, never plain email.
- Appointment booking through a tool such as Calendly; a custom scheduler is quoted on request.
Compliance, without legal advice: the Colorado Privacy Act may apply depending on the firm's size and activity; passport and immigration status data is highly sensitive, hence forms kept to a minimum. For accessibility, the ADA applies and WCAG 2.1 AA serves as the technical reference. This is not legal advice.
Which 3-year total cost should you compare?
The table assumes the same maintenance budget on both sides, since Kolonell maintenance after the support period is quoted on request.

|---|---|---|
| Website build | 24 000 USD | 4 900 USD |
| Support included after launch | Depends on contract | 3 months included |
| Maintenance (same assumption) | 200 USD per month over 33 months, 6 600 USD | 6 600 USD, maintenance quoted on request |
| 3 new guides (Boulder, Aurora, Golden) | 8 hours at 160 USD, 1 280 USD | Quoted beforehand, assumption 900 USD |
| Third-party secure upload tool | 40 USD per month, 1 440 USD | 1 440 USD |
| Indicative total | 33 320 USD | 13 840 USD |

| Item | Starter 2 900 USD | Growth 4 900 USD | Premium 8 900 USD |

Which red flags should you look for in a quote?
- Copy that promises a visa or a timeline: refuse it, whoever the supplier.
- No page separating attorney and relocation roles.
- A form asking for a passport number at first contact.
- The domain registered in the agency's name.
- A Spanish version described as included without saying who translates and who reviews.
Mini case study
Illustrative example. Megan T. runs a five-person relocation company in Denver that works with a partner law firm and mainly serves HR teams in aerospace and healthcare. A local agency quotes 26 000 USD over 11 weeks. Kolonell proposes Growth at 4 900 USD in 4 weeks; her Spanish-speaking coordinator translates the key pages.
With the same 6 600 USD maintenance and the 1 440 USD upload tool, the 3-year cost goes from 34 040 USD to 12 940 USD, a 21 100 USD gap. Megan reinvests part of the saving in team portraits by a Denver photographer, around 1 200 USD.
