The verdict in three sentences
In Eindhoven, an immigration and relocation firm website built by a Brabant agency costs, as a 2026 ballpark, 7 000 to 25 000 EUR, slightly less than in Amsterdam, and a local freelancer often asks 2 000 to 8 000 EUR. Kolonell delivers an English site designed for Brainport tech employers and the engineers they recruit abroad, for a fixed price of 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 EUR, in 3 to 4 weeks on Starter and Growth. Your decision hinges on two points: the role of pages dedicated to employer clients and the real cost over 3 years.
What do Brabant agencies, freelancers and Kolonell charge?
Prudent ballparks, based on public rate cards of agencies in Eindhoven and North Brabant, minimum project sizes shown on Clutch.co, hourly rates published by Dutch agencies and prices visible on Malt and Upwork.
| Criterion | Eindhoven agency | Local freelancer | Kolonell |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build, 2026 ballpark | 7 000 to 25 000 EUR | 2 000 to 8 000 EUR | 2 700 EUR / 4 500 EUR / 8 200 EUR, fixed price |
| Out-of-scope hour | Often 80 to 120 EUR excl. VAT | Often 50 to 85 EUR excl. VAT | Quoted in writing before any work |
| Usual timeline | 8 to 12 weeks | 4 to 10 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks, Premium usually 4 to 6 |
| English, the audience's main language | Good level | Variable | Native copywriting included |
| Dutch | Native | Native | Supplied by you or quoted separately |
| On-site photos | Often offered | Sometimes | No: your images or a local photographer |
| Ownership | Check | Check | Domain in your name, access handed over |
In Eindhoven, a large part of the audience reads English first: engineers, researchers and families arrive from across Europe, India, Turkey or Asia. It is a market where native English copy weighs more than in other Dutch cities. The Kolonell project manager is reachable in your time zone, with Google Meet calls at your hour and a written update every week; the team is based in Senegal (GMT), one to two hours behind the Netherlands. Payment by bank transfer or Wise, 50 % at kickoff, 50 % on delivery. Plans are detailed on our international offer.
Local agency, Growth or Premium: what cost over three years?
Since Kolonell maintenance after support is quoted on request, we apply the same monthly assumption everywhere; Premium includes 6 months of support, so maintenance starts later.
| Item over 36 months | Eindhoven agency (mid-range) | Kolonell Growth | Kolonell Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| Website build | 14 000 EUR | 4 500 EUR | 8 200 EUR |
| Key pages in Dutch | Included | Local translator, assumption 700 EUR | Assumption 700 EUR |
| Maintenance (120 EUR a month, same assumption) | 33 months, 3 960 EUR | 33 months, 3 960 EUR | 30 months, 3 600 EUR |
| 6 pages for employer clients | 12 hours at 100 EUR, 1 200 EUR | Quoted upfront, assumption 1 000 EUR | Assumption 600 EUR, structure planned |
| Team photos | 650 EUR | 650 EUR | 650 EUR |
| Indicative total | 19 810 EUR | 10 810 EUR | 13 750 EUR |
Growth suits most mid-sized agencies. Premium makes sense if you want a structure ready for many employer pages, a bilingual FR/EN site and 6 months of support. These amounts are for comparison, not a prediction of the invoice.
What Brainport employers expect from the site
The Eindhoven region concentrates semiconductor and photonics manufacturers, automotive suppliers, High Tech Campus companies and the technical university. HR teams there recruit heavily outside the Netherlands and buy relocation packages by job level. On your site they look for a clear process, realistic onboarding lead times, a dedicated contact and evidence that you take confidentiality seriously. Employees look for housing in Eindhoven, Veldhoven or Best, an international school, a GP and information on municipal registration and the BSN number.
Immigration and relocation: two trades to tell apart. Highly skilled migrant permit applications go through the IND and an employer recognised as a sponsor; legal advice is often provided by lawyers. Relocation covers housing, school, banking, insurance and spouse support. The regional expat centre already helps newcomers with some formalities: your site should explain what you add, without presenting yourself as an authority.
Typical pages for an Eindhoven relocation agency:
- one page per employer package (executive, engineer, intern or PhD candidate);
- a Who does what page naming legal partners;
- Eindhoven guides: neighbourhoods, international schools, cycling and transport;
- a short HR request for proposal, and appointment booking through a third-party tool;
- welcome pages per employer client, if your contracts allow it.
Compliance, factually. Your site must never promise a permit or an IND timeline. The GDPR applies to the data of transferred employees and their families; ask for the minimum in the form and route documents through a secure tool. Employer welcome pages must show no personal names or data. The European Accessibility Act, applicable since 28 June 2025, covers certain services; aiming for WCAG 2.1 AA remains a sound reference. This is not legal advice.
A portal where the employee tracks a file is a custom application quoted on request, as is ongoing SEO.

Which red flags should you spot in a quote?
- Employer pages billed one by one with no written unit price.
- A portal included with no detail on hosting and access rights.

- Copy promising a fast permit or implying a link with the IND.
- No named English writer although English is the audience's main language.
Mini case study
Illustrative example. Anjali R., head of mobility at a twelve-person relocation agency in Eindhoven, manages packages for four tech employers recruiting in India, Southern Europe and Asia. A local agency proposes 17 000 EUR over 10 weeks, with employer pages. Kolonell proposes Growth at 4 500 EUR, plus 700 EUR of Dutch translation of key pages by a local translator, so 5 200 EUR.
Build: an 11 800 EUR gap. With the same maintenance assumption (3 960 EUR on each side), the 3-year total is 20 960 EUR against 9 160 EUR. Anjali has four employer welcome pages added, quoted before kickoff, and asks her HR clients to confirm that no personal data appears on them.
FAQ
How much does a relocation agency website cost in Eindhoven in 2026?
With a local agency, a ballpark of 7 000 to 25 000 EUR; with a freelancer, 2 000 to 8 000 EUR. Kolonell charges a fixed 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 EUR.
Is Dutch essential in Eindhoven?
For an audience of international engineers, English often dominates; a few key pages in Dutch are sometimes enough, about 700 EUR of translation in our assumption.
