The verdict in three sentences
For a private client relocation firm in Vaduz serving international families and executives, discretion and a polished German and English presence count more than visual effects. A local agency in Vaduz or the Rhine Valley is the stronger choice if you need face-to-face workshops, regular photo shoots of properties and a supplier under local law; a remote studio is enough for a calm, precise site with confidential enquiry forms, at a fixed price and in 3 to 4 weeks. Whatever you choose, make sure the site never reads like residence advice: it explains your services and states that residence planning is coordinated with lawyers.
What makes a Vaduz private client relocation site different?
Your clients are a family moving with children, an executive joining a trust company or an industrial employer in the Unterland, or an entrepreneur comparing Liechtenstein with neighbouring Swiss cantons. They read your site late in the evening, often on a phone, in English or German, and they judge it on tone as much as content.
A few local realities shape the site:
- Residence permits are handled by the Migration and Passport Office (Ausländer- und Passamt). Residence permits for EEA and Swiss nationals are limited by quota, and many employees commute from Switzerland or Austria. Your pages should explain this landscape in general terms and invite visitors to a confidential conversation, without any promise or timeline.
- German is the official language; English serves international families and business guests. A serious site needs both, which puts you on Premium (the multilingual tier, languages set in the quote).
- Your services are practical: property search in Vaduz, Schaan, Triesen or across the border, school places, banking introductions, settling-in support. Each deserves its own page.
- The enquiry form should collect the minimum: name, household size, intended timing, preferred language. Passport and family documents come later, through a secure upload that is on quote at Kolonell, with a clear retention period.
Vaduz agency, Rhine Valley agency or remote studio?
The ranges below are a 2026 ballpark based on typical agency quotes and public agency rate pages in the region, for a 10 to 15 page German and English site. Austrian agencies usually invoice in EUR; their figures are converted into CHF and labelled approximate.
| Criterion | Vaduz or Schaan agency | St. Gallen Rhine Valley or Vorarlberg agency | Remote studio (Kolonell) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical build price | CHF 20,000 to 40,000 | approx. CHF 12,000 to 25,000 | CHF 8,200 (Premium) |
| Travel time to meet you | 0 to 15 minutes | 20 to 50 minutes | video calls in your time zone |
| Native German copy | yes | yes | independent translator (third party) |
| Native English copy | often outsourced | often outsourced | included |
| NDA and confidential briefing | standard | standard | standard, signed before scoping |
| Usual timeline | 8 to 12 weeks | 6 to 10 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks |
| Property and portrait photos | in-house or partner | partner | local photographer you hire (third party) |
The Kolonell grid in CHF: Starter CHF 2,700, Growth CHF 4,500, Premium CHF 8,200. A single-language English site for an international clientele could fit Growth; a German and English site sits on Premium. Details are on the international offer page.
Where does the local agency clearly win?
Be honest with yourself about these cases:
- Your clients expect to meet everyone who touches their information, including the web team.
- You want a quarterly series of property and lifestyle shoots across the Rhine Valley, directed by the same agency.
- Your site must integrate with a client file system hosted by a Liechtenstein provider, with on-site support.
- Your German copy carries legal-sounding nuance that a local writer will handle with more confidence.
If none of these applies, a remote studio gives you a cleaner process for less money, and your agency budget can go to photography instead.
What should you ask before signing?
| Question | Good answer | Red flag |
|---|---|---|
| Who owns the domain, code and texts? | your firm, from day one | "we keep the account, you get access" |
| Where is form data stored? | EEA or Swiss hosting, named provider | no answer or a free form plugin |
| How long is enquiry data kept? | retention period written in the privacy notice | "indefinitely, in case you need it" |
| What accessibility level? | WCAG 2.1 or 2.2 AA target, tested | "the theme is accessible" |
| How is your role worded? | services described, residence questions referred to lawyers | headlines promising permits |
| What happens if we part ways? | handover of files and credentials within 10 working days | exit fee or locked hosting |
Liechtenstein is an EEA member, so the GDPR applies, supervised locally by the Data Protection Authority (Datenschutzstelle). Your privacy notice, cookie consent and form handling should be designed for that frame from the start.

Mini case study
Illustrative example. Matthias runs a private client relocation office in Vaduz and supports about 18 families a year. A local agency quoted CHF 28,000 for a German and English site. The remote route costs CHF 8,200 for Kolonell Premium. Third-party costs come on top: CHF 2,800 for an independent German copywriter and CHF 1,500 for a local photographer. Total: CHF 12,500.
The difference is CHF 15,500. With an average fee of CHF 11,000 per family, the agency site would need to bring in 2 additional families to pay back the gap; Matthias doubts the design difference alone would do that. He chooses the remote studio and invests part of the saving in a confidential enquiry flow and a German review by his own team.
FAQ
Can a remote studio meet the discretion expected in Vaduz?
Yes, if confidentiality is contractual: an NDA signed before scoping, client names kept out of the project tools and a named contact. Kolonell signs this before the first call and delivers in 3 to 4 weeks.
Should the site mention residence quotas?
It can mention, in general terms, that residence permits for EEA and Swiss nationals are limited by quota, without figures, and invite visitors to discuss their situation. One short paragraph is enough; detailed eligibility belongs to lawyers.
Which tier for German and English?
Premium at CHF 8,200, the multilingual tier, languages set in the quote. The German copy comes from an independent translator or your team, a third-party cost of around CHF 2,000 to 3,500.
How much does a Vaduz agency charge?
2026 ballpark: CHF 20,000 to 40,000 for 10 to 15 bilingual pages, based on typical quotes. Property photography is often billed separately.
What does the privacy setup need?
A GDPR-compliant privacy notice, cookie consent that blocks non-essential trackers by default and a retention period for enquiries, for example 12 months. Kolonell builds these into every tier.
