The verdict in three sentences
In Scottsdale, an immigration and relocation firm website costs, as a 2026 ballpark, between 10 000 and 45 000 USD with a Phoenix-area agency, and 3 000 to 12 000 USD with a freelancer. Kolonell delivers it for a fixed price of 2 900, 4 900 or 8 900 USD, in 3 to 4 weeks on Starter and Growth, with a bilingual FR/EN site included in Premium, useful for Quebec and French clients. What matters here is discretion and precision: a clientele of investors and affluent retirees reads every sentence, and none of them should read like a visa promise.
Scottsdale agency, freelancer or Kolonell: what does each option cost?
These ranges are prudent. They come from public rate cards of Arizona agencies, minimum project sizes on Clutch.co profiles of Phoenix and Scottsdale agencies, hourly rates published locally (often 110 to 190 USD per hour) and rates visible on Upwork. They vary mostly with the number of languages and whether a client area is required.
| Criterion | Phoenix-area agency | Local freelancer | Kolonell |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build, 2026 ballpark | 10 000 to 45 000 USD | 3 000 to 12 000 USD | 2 900 / 4 900 / 8 900 USD, fixed |
| Changes outside scope | Often 110 to 190 USD per hour | Often 50 to 100 USD per hour | Quoted before work |
| Usual timeline | 8 to 14 weeks | 5 to 10 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks, Premium usually 4 to 6 |
| French version | Option, often subcontracted | Rare | Included in Premium at 8 900 USD |
| Other languages (Spanish, Chinese) | Option | Varies | Supplied by you or quoted separately |
| Photos of homes, golf courses and neighbourhoods | Shoot possible on site | Sometimes | Not included: your images or a local photographer |
| Support after launch | Separate contract | Case by case | 3 months, 6 on Premium |
Arizona does not change its clocks: the Kolonell team, in Senegal (GMT), is therefore 7 hours ahead all year round, and Google Meet calls take place at 8 or 9 am your time. Written update every week, payment by bank transfer or Wise (50 % at kickoff, 50 % at delivery). See our international website offer.
How should the site present the attorney and settling-in support?
Scottsdale mixes immigration law firms with high-end relocation and concierge companies. The site must say who does what, without ambiguity:
- Immigration counsel is reserved, in the United States, for attorneys and representatives accredited by the Department of Justice. Investor filings (E-2 for nationals of treaty countries, EB-5) or employee filings (L-1, H-1B) are presented as types of cases handled by the named attorney, never as results.
- Relocation covers housing, schools, vehicle registration, opening accounts, clubs and home services. It includes no legal opinion.
- The notario risk is mentioned to steer the public towards authorised professionals. Arizona has its own rules on legal services provided by non-lawyers: check with the State Bar of Arizona before describing your services.
A law firm also follows the Arizona bar's advertising rules. No timelines, no approval rates, no green card promises.
Which clients does a Scottsdale firm serve online?
The local clientele is wealthier and more international than average:
- Investors and entrepreneurs buying or starting a business in the Valley, who compare several firms before calling.
- Affluent retirees and seasonal residents, many of them Canadian: questions about length of stay are referred to the attorney, not settled by the site.
- Engineers and managers linked to the semiconductor plants of north Phoenix and their suppliers, often with their families.
- Physicians and researchers recruited by the Valley's large medical centres.
Neighbourhoods expected in the guides: Old Town, North Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Fountain Hills, with the matching school districts. Passport, wealth and immigration status data is sensitive: minimal form, third-party secure upload tool, and a check of the data protection rules that apply to your activity. Accessibility: the ADA, with WCAG 2.1 AA as the technical reference. This is not legal advice.
For an international investor clientele, our closest reference is Orven Properties (orvenproperties.com), an off-plan real estate advisory in Dubai: a trilingual FR/EN/AR site, project pages, investor guides and WhatsApp enquiries. It is not an immigration firm, but the audience and the need for discretion are comparable.

Which questions should you ask before choosing?
- Who translates and reviews the French version? At Kolonell it is written natively on Premium; elsewhere, ask for the translator's name.
- Does the supplier understand the difference between attorney and relocation? Have them rewrite your services page as a test.
- Where do client documents travel?
- Is the domain in your name?
- Does the copy use words like guaranteed or fast about visas? Remove them.
Mini case study
Illustrative example. Laura P. founded a four-person relocation and concierge company in North Scottsdale. She supports investors and retired couples, and works with an immigration attorney in Phoenix. She wants an FR/EN site and a few pages in traditional Chinese. An agency quotes 28 000 USD over 12 weeks; Kolonell proposes Premium at 8 900 USD, delivered in 6 weeks under the written schedule.
The Chinese pages are translated by an independent translator for 1 600 USD in both cases. Total: 29 600 USD versus 10 500 USD, a 19 100 USD gap. Laura spends 1 800 USD on a local photographer for interiors and neighbourhoods.
