The verdict in three sentences
In Oxford, a website for an immigration and relocation firm built by a local agency costs, as a 2026 order of magnitude, from 6 000 to 22 000 GBP, depending on the number of service pages, the price information to publish and the integrations. Kolonell builds the pages by case type, the journeys for academics and families and the visible regulatory elements at a fixed price: 2 300, 3 900 or 6 900 GBP, in 3 to 4 weeks for Starter and Growth. For a regulated practice, compare quotes on two precise points: coverage of your regulator's publication requirements and a readable three-year cost.
Where does the money go in an Oxford quote?
The amounts below are cautious orders of magnitude, drawn from public price lists of agencies in Oxfordshire and the Thames Valley, minimum project sizes visible on Clutch.co, hourly rates published by local agencies (often 60 to 110 GBP per hour) and rates visible on Upwork.
| Criterion | Oxford agency | Local freelancer | Kolonell |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build, 2026 order of magnitude | 6 000 to 22 000 GBP and up | 1 800 to 6 000 GBP | 2 300 GBP, 3 900 GBP or 6 900 GBP, fixed price |
| Price information pages | Often written by the firm | Rarely handled | Laid out from your approved fees |

Payment by bank transfer or Wise, 50 % at kickoff and 50 % on delivery. The project manager books Google Meet calls at Oxford time and sends a weekly written update; the team is in Senegal (GMT), with no time difference in winter and one hour behind in summer. All packages are on our international offer page.
What must a regulated practice publish, and what does the relocation partner do?
In the United Kingdom, immigration advice is reserved to advisers registered with the Immigration Advice Authority (IAA, formerly the OISC) and to authorised lawyers, including solicitors regulated by the SRA. For a solicitors' firm, a few items are expected on the website: the SRA digital badge, information on the complaints procedure and, for certain immigration services, price and service information under the SRA Transparency Rules. An IAA adviser, for their part, shows their registration number and exact level. Check the current list with your regulator.
Relocation (housing, schools, GP, bank, partner support) is not legal advice. If your firm works with a relocation company, the site presents the two activities separately, with who does what. No page promises a visa, a residence permit or a timeline.
Which clients come to an Oxford practice, and which pages follow?
Oxford demand comes from university colleges and departments, the university hospitals, the science parks and the Harwell campus, spinouts recruiting international talent and the car industry at Cowley. Researchers' families and students add to it. The site should present the types of applications handled clearly (Global Talent, Skilled Worker, students and dependants, settlement), without ever promising an outcome.
- Pages by case type, each with the firm's role, documents to prepare and how fees work.
- An employer offer for universities and private companies: sponsor licences, support for new hires, HR reporting.
- Settling-in guides: Summertown, Headington, Jericho, Botley or Kidlington, Oxfordshire County Council school admissions, transport to London.
- Appointment booking through a third-party tool; a bespoke calendar is quoted separately.
- Secure document upload through a third-party tool, never by plain email.
Kolonell has already designed a bilingual quote request flow with per-case verification for TR Signing Group, a notary and apostille service in New Jersey: the same logic of a short, structured form applies here. On data, UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 govern forms and documents; the Equality Act 2010 applies to online services, with WCAG 2.2 AA as the technical reference. This is not legal advice.
What does each package include for an Oxford practice?
| Element | Starter 2 300 GBP | Growth 3 900 GBP | Premium 6 900 GBP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pages by case type | 4 pages | 10 pages | Full structure by profile and by employer |
| Regulatory elements | Badge, complaints, status | Same, plus structured price pages | Same, plus detailed adviser profiles |
| Relocation | One partner page | Neighbourhood and school guides | Full resource centre |
| Appointments | Link to your tool | Third-party tool embedded | Careful integration; bespoke quoted separately |
| Bilingual FR/EN version | No | No | Included |
| Support | 3 months | 3 months | 6 months |
How much over three years?
The Premium package includes 6 months of support; maintenance afterwards is quoted separately, hence an identical assumption over 30 months on both sides.
| Item over 36 months | Oxford agency (mid-range) | Kolonell Premium |
|---|---|---|
| Build | 16 000 GBP | 6 900 GBP |
| Maintenance (same assumption) | 110 GBP per month for 30 months, i.e. 3 300 GBP | 3 300 GBP, quoted separately |
| Price page updates | 6 hours at 90 GBP, i.e. 540 GBP | Quoted before work, assumption 400 GBP |
| Team portraits | Agency option, 600 GBP | Local photographer, 600 GBP |
| Indicative total | 20 440 GBP | 11 200 GBP |

Which warning signs should you spot?
- A quote silent on regulator requirements (badge, prices, complaints).
- Template copy promising a guaranteed visa or a success rate.
- A form asking for a passport number at first contact.
- A domain registered by the agency rather than by the firm.
- No distinction between the solicitor, the IAA adviser and the relocation partner.
Mini case study
Illustrative example. Daniel K., a partner in a three-solicitor immigration practice in Oxford, works with a partner relocation company. A local agency quotes 17 500 GBP for the new site, delivered in 12 weeks. Kolonell proposes the Premium package at 6 900 GBP, with an FR/EN version for French-speaking academic clients and a written 5-week plan.
Build gap: 10 600 GBP. With the same maintenance assumption of 3 300 GBP over 30 months, the three-year totals reach 20 800 GBP against 10 200 GBP. Daniel puts part of the saving into partner time to review every service page.
FAQ
How much does an immigration firm website cost in Oxford in 2026?
As an order of magnitude, 6 000 to 22 000 GBP with a local agency and 1 800 to 6 000 GBP with a freelancer. Kolonell's three packages cost 2 300, 3 900 and 6 900 GBP.
Does Kolonell write our price information?
We lay out the fees you supply and approve. Regulatory content stays the firm's responsibility, and the firm reviews each page before the launch planned within 3 to 4 weeks.
Can an unregulated relocation company use the same site model?
Yes for the structure, provided it presents no immigration advice. The Growth package at 3 900 GBP often suits a team of 2 to 5 people.
Can you integrate our case management software?
A link or a form connected to a third-party tool is included in the packages. A deep integration with your software is a custom application, quoted separately.
Can the site be in Chinese or Arabic?
FR/EN bilingual is included in Premium at 6 900 GBP. Other languages are supplied by the firm or quoted separately.
Let's scope your project. Send us your case types, your regulatory status and your current site, and you will receive a fixed-price Starter, Growth or Premium proposal deliverable in 3 to 6 weeks depending on the package. Request your free quote or see the international offer.
