Interior design studio website cost in Antwerp: local agencies vs Kolonell (2026)

The verdict in three sentences

In Antwerp, a Flemish web agency charges, as a 2026 order of magnitude, 6 000 to 25 000 EUR excluding VAT for an interior design studio website, and a freelancer 2 000 to 6 500 EUR. Kolonell delivers the portfolio, services and a qualified project request form at a fixed price of 2 700 EUR, 4 500 EUR or 8 200 EUR, with a bilingual French and English site available from Premium, Dutch being supplied by you or quoted separately. For a studio working mainly for Flemish homeowners, an Antwerp agency or freelancer covers the main language better; Kolonell becomes relevant when international or French-speaking clients really count.

What do Antwerp agencies, freelancers and Kolonell charge?

Cautious orders of magnitude, drawn from public price lists of Flemish agencies, minimum project sizes on Clutch.co, hourly rates published by Belgian agencies (often 70 to 115 EUR an hour) and rates visible on Malt and Upwork. Belgian quotes are usually excluding 21 % VAT.

An Antwerp agency can visit your sites and write in Dutch; Kolonell does neither. We bring a single project manager, French and English copy by native writers, a fixed price in writing and the handover of every login. Google Meet calls at your hours, a weekly written update; the team is in Senegal (GMT), one hour behind you in winter and two in summer. Payment by bank transfer or Wise, 50 % at kickoff, 50 % on delivery. See our international website offer.

What three-year budget for a site in three languages?

Assumption: a site in Dutch, French and English, with the same maintenance for all (80 EUR a month over 30 months) and the same photography budget.

The freelancer remains the cheapest. Kolonell sits in between, with native French copy and a fixed price; the agency is the only one handling everything, Dutch and photos included. Have each provider fill in the same grid.

Which pages does an Antwerp studio need?

A kitchen configurator or a client area to approve samples is a custom application, quoted separately.

What do clients of an Antwerp studio look for?

Antwerp has an interior design culture known well beyond Belgium: restrained palettes, natural materials, bespoke joinery, a dialogue between old and contemporary. The townhouses of Zurenborg, with their Art Nouveau and eclectic facades, and the large houses of the Zuid call for renovations that respect mouldings, parquet and stairwells. The converted warehouses of the Eilandje offer lofts with generous volumes. The diamond district and the fashion houses generate offices and shops where discretion and security matter as much as aesthetics.

• Discretion first: some clients in diamonds or fashion refuse any identifiable photo. Plan case studies without names or addresses, approved in writing.
• Protected heritage: for a listed property, works may fall under the Flemish heritage agency (Onroerend Erfgoed). Present your experience without promising any permit.
• Accurate titles: check with your professional federation how to present the interior architect title in Belgium, and never use the architect title without the right to it.
• Photo credits and licences, written owner consent, faces and addresses blurred, alt text on every image.

On compliance, facts only. The GDPR applies to your forms, supervised by the Belgian Data Protection Authority (Gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit): collect only what you need. WCAG 2.1 AA remains the accessibility reference; the European Accessibility Act, applicable since 28 June 2025, mainly targets certain consumer services. This is not legal advice.

Which warning signs should you spot in a quote?

• Three languages promised without saying who writes them.
• Machine translation from Dutch into French and English.
• Heavy galleries that slow the site down on mobile.
• A domain registered in the agency's name.
• Unpriced maintenance or an open cost per added project.

Mini case study

Illustrative example. Lien D. founded her solo studio in Zurenborg, focused on townhouse renovations, with two offices in the diamond district she cannot show. An agency offers her a Dutch and English site for 12 000 EUR. She starts with Kolonell Starter at 2 700 EUR in English, writes the Dutch version herself in about ten hours and books a photographer for a recently finished house at 850 EUR.

Total cost: 2 700 plus 850, or 3 550 EUR. Gap with the agency: 12 000 minus 3 550, or 8 450 EUR. An accepted limit: Starter groups projects on one page; a page per project will mean moving to Growth.
