The verdict in three sentences
In Eindhoven, a professional law firm website from a local agency costs, as a 2026 ballpark, roughly 6 000 to 30 000+ EUR, and a freelancer will usually quote 2 500 to 8 000 EUR for a build without copywriting. Kolonell's fixed tiers are 2 700, 4 500 and 8 200 EUR, each with native English copy, a project manager on Google Meet, delivery in 3 to 4 weeks (Premium: written schedule, usually 4 to 6 weeks) and 3 months of support. For a firm serving the Brainport tech ecosystem, where many decision makers read English first, that makes Kolonell a credible alternative, provided the firm supplies any Dutch copy itself.
What do Eindhoven agencies, freelancers and Kolonell charge side by side?
There is no official tariff for websites in the Netherlands. These ranges are prudent orders of magnitude drawn from public rate cards of Dutch agencies, freelance platform rates (Malt, Upwork) and the minimum project sizes on Clutch.co agency profiles. Eindhoven tends to sit slightly below Amsterdam on agency rates, but scope matters far more than postcode.
| Option | 2026 ballpark | Delay | Included | After launch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Regional full-service agency | 12 000 to 30 000+ EUR | 10 to 14 weeks | Branding, design, CMS, Dutch and English | Monthly service contract |
| Small Eindhoven studio | 6 000 to 12 000 EUR | 6 to 10 weeks | Theme or semi-custom design, CMS | Hourly support |
| Freelancer | 2 500 to 8 000 EUR | 4 to 12 weeks | Build, the firm writes content | Ad hoc |
| Kolonell Starter | 2 700 EUR | 3 to 4 weeks | Custom design, native English copy | 3 months included |
| Kolonell Growth | 4 500 EUR | 3 to 4 weeks | Full practice areas, bios, contact routing | 3 months included |
| Kolonell Premium | 8 200 EUR | Usually 4 to 6 weeks | Bilingual site, booking, insights section | 3 months included |
Payment is by bank transfer or Wise, half at kickoff and half at delivery, and the domain stays in the firm's name. See the website offer for international firms for the full scope.
What should an Eindhoven law firm site contain?
Eindhoven's economy leans on high-tech manufacturing, semiconductors, design and research, which shapes the legal work clients look for and the way they search.
- Practice area pages written for technical buyers: IP and patents strategy, technology licensing and R&D agreements, employment contracts and knowledge migrant permits, corporate work for start-ups and scale-ups, commercial disputes.
- Bios that read like a credentials sheet: bar admission, technical background where relevant, languages, sectors served. Engineers and in-house counsel scan these quickly.
- English as the working language: a large international workforce means many first visits happen in English, with Dutch pages still needed for local clients.
- Confidential intake and GDPR: a short form with no case details, a clear no-engagement notice, and privacy and cookie wording aligned with the GDPR. Lawyer advertising is also subject to the conduct rules of the Netherlands Bar, which the firm must check itself. This is not legal advice.
- Accessibility: WCAG 2.1 AA as the reference, which also helps readability for non-native readers.
What does each Kolonell tier include for this sector?
| Feature | Starter 2 700 EUR | Growth 4 500 EUR | Premium 8 200 EUR |

Which checklist helps compare the quotes?
| Item | Ask for |
|---|---|
| Scope | A written page list and number of revision rounds |
| Copy | Who writes each language |
| Timeline | Dates per milestone, not just a total |
| Running costs | Hosting and maintenance priced per month |
| Ownership | Domain, CMS and code transferred to the firm |
| Compliance | Cookie consent and privacy notice planned |
Red flags include vague hourly estimates, a premium price for a stock theme, or an agency that registers the domain in its own name.
Mini case study
Need a professional website?
Kolonell builds websites that attract clients, optimized for the Sénégalese market. Free quote in 2 minutes.
Illustrative example, not a real client. Pieter Janssen founded a hypothetical 4-lawyer IP and technology contracts boutique at Strijp-S. A small local studio quotes 9 500 EUR. To compare fairly, he applies the same hosting and maintenance assumption to both options, 90 EUR a month, to be replaced by real quotes.
- Local studio over 3 years: 9 500 + 36 x 90 = 12 740 EUR.
- Kolonell Growth over 3 years: 4 500 + 33 x 90 (after the 3 included months) = 7 470 EUR.
The difference is about 5 270 EUR. If he later needs a Dutch version, he can move to a Premium bilingual build at 8 200 EUR with Dutch copy supplied by the firm.
FAQ
Is Kolonell cheaper because the site is a template?
No, every tier is a custom design. The 2 700 to 8 200 EUR price reflects a fixed scope and a lean team rather than a theme.
Can we keep calls in Dutch business hours?
Yes. The team is based in Senegal (GMT), only one or two hours behind Eindhoven, so a 9 am Meet call is easy, plus a written weekly update.
Does Kolonell handle Dutch copy?
No, copy is native English or French. In Premium at 8 200 EUR, Dutch pages supplied by the firm are integrated into a bilingual structure.
What is included after launch?
Three months of support. After that, maintenance is quoted on request, and the firm keeps the domain and all access.
