The verdict in three sentences
A loss adjusting firm does not sell to consumers: its website must reassure insurers, MGAs and brokers who instruct it, and save them time. A realistic 2026 budget in Dublin is EUR 7,000 to 18,000 for a corporate site, plus EUR 2,500 to 6,000 for a secure claim instruction form. Above 300 instructions a year, an insurer portal with claim tracking pays for itself against status calls and chaser emails.
What an insurer looks for on your site
Claims handlers and panel managers compare several firms before adding them to a panel. In under two minutes they check: specialisms (fire, escape of water, construction, liability, business interruption), geographic coverage, attendance times, CILA membership and the capacity to handle major and complex losses. A dated site with no stated turnaround and no named contact loses panel appointments.
| Feature | Value for the insurer | Indicative 2026 cost (EUR, excl. VAT) |
|---|---|---|
| Specialism pages (fire, EOW, construction, liability) | Check technical competence | 1,800 to 3,500 |
| Coverage map and offices | See who covers the loss | 900 to 2,200 |
| Service levels (contact within 24 h, report within 10 days) | Compare firms | Included in content |
| Adjuster profiles with qualifications | Identify the contact | 700 to 1,800 |
| Secure claim instruction form | Send a file without email | 2,500 to 6,000 |
| Insurer portal with claim tracking | Check progress without calling | 10,000 to 30,000 |
| Major loss and weather event pages | Show surge capacity | 600 to 1,400 |
Brochure site or site with insurer portal
The choice depends on instruction volume and the number of recurring clients.
| Criterion | Brochure site + form | Site + insurer portal |
|---|---|---|
| Initial budget | EUR 9,500 to 24,000 | EUR 24,000 to 55,000 |
| Build time | 6 to 10 weeks | 12 to 20 weeks |
| Relevant volume | under 300 instructions a year | over 300 instructions a year |
| Claim tracking by insurer | By phone or email | Online, status and documents |
| Claims system integration | None or email export | API to your claims management software |
| Monthly maintenance | EUR 120 to 300 | EUR 300 to 700 |
| Hosting | Managed, EU | Managed, EU, with access logging |
The portal makes sense once your admin team spends more than 10 hours a week answering "where is this claim?". It connects to the existing claims management system by API or scheduled export to avoid double entry. A nearshore French-speaking agency can deliver the same scope 30 to 45% below Dublin rates, with EU hosting kept in place.
GDPR: claimant data is not ordinary data
An instruction form holds the policyholder's name and address, sometimes photos of their home, loss amounts and, for injury claims, health information. Your requirements should cover encryption in transit and at rest, EU hosting, automatic deletion of attachments once transferred to the claims system, access logs and an up-to-date record of processing. Health data is special category data under Article 9 GDPR and needs stricter safeguards. A leak of claimant data can cost you an insurer's trust, and a fine from the Data Protection Commission.
Mini case study
Siobhan, director of a 14-adjuster firm in Dublin, handles 650 instructions a year for 9 insurers and 30 brokers. Her two administrators spend about 14 hours a week on status calls and emails, or 650 hours a year. At EUR 38 per loaded hour, that is EUR 24,700 a year. A site with an insurer portal at EUR 38,000, plus EUR 450 monthly maintenance, would cut those requests by about 60%, saving EUR 14,820 a year against EUR 5,400 of maintenance. The net gain of EUR 9,420 a year pays back the project in about four years, before counting the panel appointments won from insurers who value transparent tracking.

FAQ
How much does a website for a loss adjuster in Dublin cost?
Budget EUR 7,000 to 18,000 for a well-built corporate site, and EUR 24,000 to 55,000 with a connected insurer portal. Maintenance runs EUR 120 to 700 a month depending on scope.
Does the claim instruction form need to be secure?
Yes. It carries personal data about policyholders and sometimes health data. Plan for encryption, EU hosting and automatic purging, for EUR 2,500 to 6,000.
Do we need special hosting for health data?
Ireland has no HDS-style certification, but Article 9 GDPR requires appropriate safeguards. Expect EUR 100 to 350 a month for hardened EU hosting with encryption and access logs.
Can the site connect to our claims management software?
Yes, if the software offers an API or file import. Integration usually costs EUR 3,500 to 12,000 and removes double entry of instructions.
