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

The verdict in three sentences

A Miami immigration or relocation website has to do two things well: earn trust from people making a life-changing move, often in Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian Creole or French, and route them to the right service without promising outcomes. Local Brickell and Coral Gables agencies typically quote 10 000 to 40 000+ USD for this kind of site, while Kolonell's fixed tiers are 2 900, 4 900 and 8 900 USD, copy included. The decision comes down to what you need beyond the site itself: if it is a client portal or case tracking, that is a custom build quoted separately wherever you go.

What do local agencies and freelancers charge in Miami?

Miami's agency market sits in the middle to upper part of the US range: below Manhattan or San Francisco, above most of Florida. The ranges below are wide 2026 ballparks drawn from public agency rate cards, Clutch.co profiles that publish minimum project sizes and freelance platform listings (Upwork, Contra). Prices vary with scope and the number of language versions.

Agency hourly rates commonly published in Miami fall around 100 to 200 USD. Ask every vendor for the number of pages, who writes the copy and whether translations are included: those three lines explain most of the gap between quotes.

What an immigration or relocation site needs in Miami

Miami clients range from corporate transferees and remote workers to families from Latin America and the Caribbean, investors looking at Florida real estate and students. The site has to address each group without blurring what your firm is legally allowed to do.

• Clear status of the firm: in the United States, legal advice on immigration matters is restricted to licensed attorneys and DOJ-accredited representatives. A relocation company that is not a law firm should say so plainly and describe its services (housing search, school search, settling-in, paperwork logistics) without suggesting it handles visa strategy. A law firm should mention that Florida Bar rules govern lawyer advertising and check its pages against them.
• No outcome promises: avoid approval rates, processing time guarantees or visa success claims. Use disclaimers stating that every case is different and that information on the site is general.
• Languages: Spanish is close to essential in Miami, Portuguese and Haitian Creole are frequent, and French is useful for clients from Haiti, France, Canada and francophone Africa. Kolonell writes natively in English and French; Spanish, Portuguese or Creole versions are supplied by your team or quoted separately.
• A secure intake form: collect only what you need for the first call (name, country, type of move, timeframe). Passport scans and immigration history belong in a secure portal, which is a custom application quoted on request.
• Privacy and accessibility: Florida's privacy statute mainly targets very large businesses, but clients from the EU may expect GDPR-style transparency, and ADA website litigation risk is real in Florida. WCAG 2.1 AA is the common reference.

This is a factual overview, not legal advice: have your counsel validate disclaimers and service descriptions.

A relevant real reference: Kolonell built TR Signing Group (trsigninggroup.com), a New Jersey notary and apostille services company whose clients often deal with documents for use abroad: a bilingual English/French site, quote requests with per-file verification, a booking calendar, live chat and a back office. Kolonell also built Orven Properties (orvenproperties.com), an off-plan real-estate advisory in Dubai with a trilingual FR/EN/AR site and investor guides, a useful pattern for international clients researching a move.

What do you pay over 3 years?

These are illustrative figures to show the method, not quotes. The point is to compare the same lines across vendors, including who owns the hosting and the domain. With Kolonell the domain is registered in your name and all access is handed over; payment is 50 % at kickoff and 50 % at delivery, by bank transfer or Wise. Details are on our international website offer.

Red flags in a Miami website quote

• Translations promised for free by the developer, with no named translator.
• Pages that copy competitor claims about approval rates or speed.
• A contact form that asks for passport numbers or A-numbers on day one.
• No mention of accessibility or of who maintains the plugins.
• A domain registered in the agency's name.

Mini case study

Illustrative example, not a real client. Valeria runs a corporate relocation firm in Brickell that settles executives moving from Latin America and Europe. A local agency quotes 26 000 USD plus 700 USD a month. Over 3 years: 26 000 + (700 x 36) = 51 200 USD. She chooses Kolonell Growth at 4 900 USD with English copy included, pays a Spanish translator 2 400 USD (her own estimate) and hosting at about 30 USD a month: 4 900 + 2 400 + (30 x 33) = 8 290 USD before any maintenance she later decides to buy. She keeps the difference for a referral program with Miami real estate brokers.
