The verdict in three sentences
In Vaduz, an interior design studio website built by a Liechtenstein agency costs, as a 2026 order of magnitude, 9 000 to 32 000 CHF, and neighbouring agencies in Vorarlberg or the St. Gallen Rhine valley often come in a little lower. Kolonell builds a restrained portfolio, a services page and a qualified project enquiry at a fixed price: 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 CHF, delivered in 3 to 4 weeks for Starter and Growth. In such a small and discreet market, the right trade-off is about the three-year cost, German copy and how to show interiors without exposing their owners.
What do Vaduz agencies, regional agencies and Kolonell cost?
The local market has few agencies, and many studios also consult Swiss or Austrian providers. The ranges below are cautious orders of magnitude, based on public price lists from regional agencies, minimum project sizes on Clutch.co profiles, hourly rates published by digital agencies (often 110 to 180 CHF an hour in Liechtenstein and eastern Switzerland) and rates visible on Malt and Upwork. Austrian agencies bill in euros: about 6 000 to 22 000 EUR, roughly 5 600 to 20 500 CHF.
| Criterion | Agency in Vaduz | Vorarlberg or Rhine valley agency | Regional freelancer | Kolonell |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Build, 2026 order of magnitude | 9 000 to 32 000 CHF | About 5 600 to 20 500 CHF | 2 500 to 9 000 CHF | 2 700 / 4 500 / 8 200 CHF, fixed price |
| German copy | Native | Native | Usually native | Supplied by the studio or quoted separately |
| Usual timeline | 8 to 12 weeks | 6 to 12 weeks | 4 to 10 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks, Premium usually 4 to 6 |
| On-site meetings | Yes | Yes, with travel | Often | No: Google Meet calls at your hours |
| Photos of completed projects | Sometimes optional | Sometimes optional | Rarely | No: photographer booked by the studio |
| Support after launch | Separate contract | Separate contract | Case by case | 3 months, 6 in Premium |
The Kolonell project manager works in your time zone, with a written update every week; the team is on GMT, one to two hours behind Vaduz. The domain is registered in the studio's name and all access is handed over. Payment is by bank transfer or Wise, 50 % at kickoff, 50 % on delivery. See our international website offer.
What budget should you plan over three years?
Since Kolonell maintenance after the support period is quoted on request, we use the same assumption on both sides.
| Item over 36 months | Vaduz agency (mid-range) | Kolonell Growth |
|---|---|---|
| Website build | 18 000 CHF | 4 500 CHF |
| German version | Included | Professional translation, assumption 1 600 CHF |
| Maintenance (same assumption) | 150 CHF a month for 33 months, i.e. 4 950 CHF | 4 950 CHF, quoted on request |
| Password-protected private portfolio page | 1 200 CHF | Quoted before work, assumption 800 CHF |
| Interior photographer (2 projects) | 3 000 CHF | 3 000 CHF, booked by the studio |
| Indicative total | 27 150 CHF | 14 850 CHF |
These amounts illustrate the method, not your invoice. An Austrian agency would lower the first column, and its quote deserves the same table.
What does each package include for a Vaduz studio?
| Item | Starter 2 700 CHF | Growth 4 500 CHF | Premium 8 200 CHF |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portfolio | Up to 8 projects, no addresses | Projects sorted: residences, offices, hospitality | Detailed project pages, private gallery quoted separately if needed |
| Services | Services page | Design, office fit-out, bespoke furniture | One page per service, process and deliverables |
| Fees | Billing model mentioned | Fixed fee, percentage, hourly rate explained | Detailed first-meeting journey |
| Project enquiry | Short form | Budget, floor area, timeline, photos of the space | Journey by client type |
| Languages | English or French | English or French | Bilingual FR/EN |
| Support | 3 months | 3 months | 6 months |
An extranet to share plans and samples with clients is a custom application, quoted on request, as is ongoing SEO.
Which needs are specific to Liechtenstein?
Liechtenstein is a small market where people know each other. Typical commissions for a Vaduz studio: offices for fiduciaries, private banks and family offices wanting a restrained, representative reception, villas and apartments for wealthy residents in Vaduz, Schaan or Triesen, chalets towards Malbun, and some hotel and restaurant projects. Clients are often international and speak German, English and sometimes other languages. The site should therefore:
- Put discretion first: no client names or addresses, carefully chosen visuals, possibly a private page for sensitive references.
- Show rigour: process, schedule, coordination with joiners and craftspeople from the Rhine valley.
- Explain fees without figures if the studio prefers.
- Qualify the enquiry: type of home or office, floor area, indicative budget, deadline.
- Read well in German and English, bearing in mind that Kolonell writes natively in English and French.
On data, Liechtenstein applies the GDPR through the European Economic Area, with a national data protection authority. Keep the form minimal; photos of private interiors can be personal data, hence the owner's written consent and blurring of identifying details. Check each photographer's web licence. For professional titles, check with the local professional association before displaying a qualification. Write alt text for every image, with WCAG 2.1 AA as the reference. This is not legal advice.

Which red flags should you look for in a quote?
- Client references shown by default without written consent.
- No line on German copy or proofreading.
- A .li or .com domain in the provider's name.
- An unoptimised gallery, slow on mobile.
- A long maintenance contract with no way to take the site back.
- A priced promise of Google results.
Mini case study
Illustrative example. Thomas K. runs a five-person studio in Vaduz, where two thirds of projects are offices for fiduciary firms and family offices. A local agency quotes 21 000 CHF in German and English, private page included. Kolonell offers Growth at 4 500 CHF in English, the private page quoted at 800 CHF, and the studio has the German translated for 1 600 CHF.
Build total: 21 000 CHF against 6 900 CHF, a gap of 14 100 CHF. With the same maintenance (4 950 CHF) and the same photographer (3 000 CHF), the three-year gap stays at 14 100 CHF. The studio picks Kolonell and assigns one partner to proofread every German page.
