The verdict in three sentences
In Luxembourg, an insurance brokerage website built by a local agency costs, as a 2026 ballpark, between 8 000 and 35 000 EUR, and more with a client extranet or a quoting tool. Kolonell builds the pages by line of risk, the firm presentation, qualified quote request forms and the regulatory information pages for a fixed price of 2 700 EUR, 4 500 EUR or 8 200 EUR, with a bilingual FR/EN site included on Premium. The useful comparison is the 3-year cost, the languages (German, Luxembourgish, Portuguese) and how each quote handles the disclosure duties of an intermediary supervised by the Commissariat aux assurances.
This version is written for the English-speaking partners of insurance brokerages in Luxembourg, many of whom serve expatriates, EU institution staff and international companies based in the Grand Duchy.
What do Luxembourg agencies, freelancers and Kolonell charge?
The ranges below are prudent ballparks, not official figures. They rest on public rate cards of agencies in the Grand Duchy and the Greater Region, minimum project sizes shown on Clutch.co profiles, hourly rates published by Luxembourg agencies (often 90 to 150 EUR per hour) and rates visible on Malt for freelancers in Luxembourg, Metz or Arlon.
| Criterion | Luxembourg agency | Local or cross-border freelancer | Kolonell |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brokerage site, 2026 ballpark | 8 000 to 35 000 EUR | 3 000 to 10 000 EUR | 2 700 EUR / 4 500 EUR / 8 200 EUR, fixed |
| Pages by line of risk | Often included | Depends on scope | Included, written in native French or English |
| Languages | FR, DE, EN common, at extra cost | One or two | FR or EN, bilingual FR/EN on Premium; other languages supplied or quoted |
| Client extranet or online quoting | Offered, high budget | Rarely | Custom applications, quoted on request |

| Ownership | Check | Check | Domain in your name, all access handed over |
A Luxembourg agency remains the right choice if you want a contact in Kirchberg or Cloche d'Or, a team photo shoot and a four-language site run by one firm. Kolonell does no shoots and no physical meetings; the project manager works on Google Meet at your hours, with a written update each week, from Senegal (GMT), one to two hours behind Luxembourg. Details are on our international website offer.
What is the 3-year total cost for a broker?
A brokerage updates its site often: a new cover, a new insurer partner, revised information documents. The table applies the same monthly maintenance rate on both sides, since Kolonell maintenance after support is quoted on request; Premium includes 6 months of support, so the billed period is shorter. The German translation is counted identically.
| Item over 36 months | Agency (mid range) | Kolonell Premium |
|---|---|---|
| FR/EN site build | 20 000 EUR | 8 200 EUR |
| German version | Translation, 2 200 EUR | Supplied or quoted, 2 200 EUR |
| Maintenance (same rate, 130 EUR per month) | 33 months, 4 290 EUR | 30 months, 3 900 EUR |
| Updates (covers, documents, partners) | 10 hours at 120 EUR, 1 200 EUR | Quoted beforehand, assumption 900 EUR |
| Team photos | Often optional, included here | Local photographer booked separately, outside the table |
| Indicative total | 27 690 EUR | 15 200 EUR |
These figures structure the comparison and do not predict your invoice. Ask every supplier to complete the same grid.
What does each tier include for a brokerage?
| Item | Starter 2 700 EUR | Growth 4 500 EUR | Premium 8 200 EUR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lines of risk | Personal and commercial grouped | One page per line (liability, fleet, property, group health, home) | Full structure by client type |
| Quote request | Simple form | Form per line with qualifying questions | Journey per profile (SME, cross-border worker, expatriate) |
| Regulatory information pages | Your texts integrated | Your texts integrated and linked in the footer | Full organisation validated with you |
| Team and expertise | Team page | Broker profiles and specialties | Detailed profiles, languages spoken |
| News and guides | No | Blog or guides | Guides by line of risk |
| Bilingual FR/EN site | No | No | Included |
| Support after launch | 3 months | 3 months | 6 months |
A client area to follow policies, a comparison tool or a quoting engine is a custom application, quoted on request. The site never promises a premium or a savings figure.
What does a broker's site need in the Grand Duchy?
A Luxembourg broker's clientele is highly international: local SMEs, cross-border workers from France, Belgium and Germany, staff of the EU institutions and the financial sector, and a large Portuguese-speaking community. The business districts of Kirchberg, Gare and Cloche d'Or hold much of the commercial clientele.
- Several languages: French and German for local clients, English for expatriates, Portuguese if your firm serves that community (languages other than FR/EN supplied or quoted separately).
- Pages by line of risk that explain cover without promising a price.
- Qualified forms: type of risk, number of vehicles or employees, renewal date of the current policy.
- The intermediary's mandatory information placed clearly: registration, supervisory authority, complaints procedure, based on the texts you provide.
- A Google Business Profile consistent with the site for local searches.
On compliance, the Commissariat aux assurances (CAA) supervises insurance intermediaries in Luxembourg, and the EU Insurance Distribution Directive frames the information owed to clients; the exact wording is validated by your firm. The GDPR applies to forms and cookies, under the oversight of the CNPD. For accessibility, WCAG 2.1 or 2.2 AA is the technical reference, and the European Accessibility Act, applicable since 28 June 2025, covers certain consumer services: check with your counsel whether your activity is concerned.

How do you compare quotes and spot red flags?
- A premium simulator promised on a small budget: that is an application, not a page.
- Slogans such as best price guaranteed suggested by the supplier.
- No room for regulatory information in the site structure.
- Forms asking for health data with no thought about storage.
- The domain in the agency's name or hosting you cannot recover.
- Languages missing from the quote, added later at the hourly rate.
Mini case study
Illustrative example. Marc D., managing partner of a seven-person brokerage in Strassen, mainly serves SMEs and cross-border workers. A Luxembourg agency quotes 21 500 EUR for a site in French, German and English, delivered in 12 weeks. Kolonell quotes Premium at 8 200 EUR in French and English with a written 5-week schedule, and Marc orders the German version from a translator for 2 200 EUR.
Three-language build: 21 500 EUR versus 10 400 EUR, an 11 100 EUR gap. With the same maintenance assumption, the 3-year gap stays above 11 000 EUR. Marc books a local photographer for half a day and keeps validation of the regulatory wording in house.
