The verdict in three sentences
In Eindhoven, an insurance brokerage website costs roughly 6 000 to 35 000 EUR with a local agency as a 2026 order of magnitude, and 2 000 to 8 000 EUR with a freelancer. Kolonell offers three packages at a fixed price: 2 700 EUR, 4 500 EUR or 8 200 EUR, with native English copywriting that matters when you pitch the international HR managers of the Brainport region, while Dutch is supplied by you or quoted separately. The right choice depends mostly on how many of your prospects read English first.
Who buys insurance through a broker in Eindhoven?
The Brainport region brings together high-tech manufacturers, their precision engineering and electronics suppliers, design offices around the High Tech Campus and TU/e, logistics firms along the A2 and a high number of engineers from abroad. For a broker, that means strong demand for employee benefits and group health, absence insurance (Dutch employers carry a sick employee's salary for a long period), income protection top-ups, product and professional liability, cyber and goods in transit. Decision-makers are often HR or finance managers who read in English, even in Dutch companies.
The site has to speak to two audiences: the Dutch-speaking SME owner and the international HR director who compares several firms in English before picking up the phone.
What do providers in the region charge?
Cautious, unofficial ranges based on public price grids from Eindhoven and Brabant agencies, minimum project sizes on Clutch.co profiles, hourly rates published by local studios (often 75 to 120 EUR per hour) and rates visible on Malt and Upwork.

A Brabant agency brings proximity, on-site workshops and native Dutch; it is the right choice if your clients are mostly local Dutch-speaking SMEs. Kolonell fits when English carries real weight in your sales: Google Meet calls at your hour, a weekly written update, a team in Senegal (GMT), one to two hours behind. Payment by bank transfer or Wise, 50% at kickoff, 50% on delivery. See our international offer.

Compliance: what the site must show
In the Netherlands, insurance intermediaries are supervised by the AFM under the Wft, within the Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD) framework. The site states the firm's status and registration, its complaints procedure and access to Kifid. Rules on remuneration for certain consumer products should be checked with your compliance officer. A sensitive point for a health specialist: health data is special-category data under the GDPR, and no public form should collect it. The European Accessibility Act has applied to certain digital services since 28 June 2025; WCAG 2.1 AA is the technical reference. This is not legal advice.

Questions to ask every provider
- Who writes the English aimed at HR managers, and who checks the Dutch benefits vocabulary?
- How does the form avoid medical data while still qualifying the request?
- Is the careers page included if you are hiring advisers?
- What does each new page cost after delivery?
- Are the domain and accounts in your name?
Mini case study
Illustrative example. Joris de B. runs a four-person firm in Eindhoven specialising in group health and absence insurance for industrial suppliers with 20 to 200 employees. He is hiring two advisers and finds that half the HR managers he meets ask for documentation in English. A local agency quotes 21 000 EUR for a Dutch and English site with a careers page.
He chooses Kolonell Growth at 4 500 EUR (native English, careers page, two HR guides) and has the site translated into Dutch for 1 800 EUR. Total: 6 300 EUR, which is 14 700 EUR less. In return, he organises the team photo shoot himself and accepts video calls instead of in-person meetings.
