The verdict in three sentences
In Eindhoven, a management consultancy website from a local agency costs, as a 2026 order of magnitude, between 9,000 and 35,000 EUR, while freelancers typically ask 3,000 to 10,000 EUR. Kolonell builds an English-first site with practice pages, case studies, consultant profiles and a careers section for a fixed 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 EUR, which suits firms whose clients and recruits work in English across the Brainport region. If you need a designer in the room for brand workshops, or a Dutch-only site, a local studio remains a sound choice; otherwise compare the three-year cost, not just the build price.
What do Eindhoven providers and Kolonell actually quote?
The ranges below are prudent orders of magnitude, not official figures. They combine public price pages of studios in Eindhoven and North Brabant, minimum project sizes on Clutch.co profiles, hourly rates published by Dutch agencies and freelance rates visible on Malt and Upwork. Rates here tend to sit slightly below Amsterdam.
| Criterion | Eindhoven agency | Local freelancer | Kolonell |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build cost, 2026 order of magnitude | 9,000 to 35,000 EUR | 3,000 to 10,000 EUR | 2 700 / 4 500 / 8 200 EUR, fixed price |
| Extra hours | Often 80 to 125 EUR | Often 60 to 95 EUR | Quoted in writing before work |
| Typical timeline | 8 to 14 weeks | 4 to 10 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks, Premium usually 4 to 6 |
| English copy on operations and supply chain topics | Sometimes, often extra | Rarely | Native English included |
| Dutch version | Native | Native | Supplied by you or quoted separately |
| Careers section and vacancy pages | Usually extra | Depends | Included from Growth |
| Ownership | Check the contract | Check the contract | Domain in your name, all access handed over |
Working with Kolonell means a project manager available during your working day, Google Meet calls at your hours and a written status every week. The team is in Senegal (GMT), one to two hours behind Eindhoven depending on the season. Kolonell does no on-site meetings or photo and video shoots: consultant portraits come from you or an Eindhoven photographer. Payment is by bank transfer or Wise, 50% at the start and 50% at delivery, and you get 3 months of support after launch, 6 in Premium. The full scope is on our international website page.
Which package matches a Brainport consultancy?
| Element | Starter 2 700 EUR | Growth 4 500 EUR | Premium 8 200 EUR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Practice pages (operations, supply chain, product development, organisation) | Core offers | One page per practice | Practices crossed with industries |
| Case studies | 3 | Template, up to 8 at launch | Filterable library |
| Consultant profiles | Team page | One profile per partner | Detailed profiles, publications, languages |
| Careers | Contact link | Careers page and vacancy template | Careers hub with team stories and link to your applicant tracking tool |
| White papers and insights | No | Articles section | Articles with categories and gated downloads |
| Bilingual FR/EN | No | No | Included |
| Delivery | 3 to 4 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks | Written schedule, usually 4 to 6 weeks |
A custom applicant portal, a client extranet or a skills-matching tool is an application quoted on request. Ongoing SEO is quoted on request too.
How does the three-year cost compare?
The model below uses the same maintenance budget on both sides, since Kolonell's maintenance after the support period is quoted on request. It assumes an English site with Dutch key pages for a firm of about 30 consultants.
| Item over 36 months | Eindhoven agency (mid-range) | Kolonell Premium |
|---|---|---|
| Build with careers hub | 26,000 EUR (English and Dutch) | 8 200 EUR |
| Dutch version of key pages | Included | Your in-house marketer or translator, assumption 1,500 EUR |
| Support included after launch | Per contract | 6 months included |
| Maintenance (same assumption) | 200 EUR a month for 30 months, 6,000 EUR | 6,000 EUR, quoted on request |
| 4 white papers laid out over 3 years | 12 hours at 105 EUR, 1,260 EUR | Quoted upfront, assumption 1,200 EUR |
| Portraits for 30 consultants | 1,500 EUR | Local photographer booked separately, 1,500 EUR |
| Indicative total | 34,760 EUR | 18,400 EUR |
These numbers organise the comparison; they are not a forecast. A freelancer building a lean Dutch site would come in lower than both columns.
What does an Eindhoven consultancy need from its site?
Eindhoven's economy revolves around high-tech manufacturing, semiconductor equipment suppliers, automotive and mechatronics, design (Dutch Design Week is held here each October) and research around the TU/e campus and the High Tech Campus. Consultancies serving this ecosystem sell operations excellence, supply chain resilience, product development processes, organisational scaling and change management. The buyers are engineers turned executives, and they want specifics. The site should:
- Explain methods precisely: how you run a lean transformation or a supplier development programme, in plain technical English.
- Publish anonymised case studies: context, engagement scope, type of outcome, with clients named only under written consent and never with invented results.
- Recruit internationally: a large share of engineers and consultants in the region work in English. If your firm is a recognised sponsor with the IND for highly skilled migrants, say so; if it is not, do not imply it.
- Respect confidentiality: suppliers in this sector often work under strict NDAs, so keep client logos and product details off the site unless authorised.
- Offer a simple booking path: Calendly or your chosen tool for a first call.
On compliance, facts only. The GDPR applies to contact forms and job applications, under the supervision of the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens; if you link an applicant tracking tool, check the processing agreement and CV retention period. The European Accessibility Act, applicable since 28 June 2025, covers specific products and services and does not automatically apply to a consultancy brochure site; WCAG 2.1 AA is still the right technical reference. This is not legal advice.

Which questions should you put to every provider?
- Who writes the practice pages and case studies, and is it in the price?
- Is the Dutch version translated and reviewed by a native speaker?
- In whose name are the domain, hosting and CMS account registered?
- What exactly is in scope: number of pages, profiles, case studies, languages?
- How are vacancies published, and does the careers page connect to your recruitment tool?
- What happens after support ends: hourly rate, retainer, notice period?
Mini case study
Illustrative example. Joris K., operations director of a 30-consultant firm advising equipment suppliers on supply chain and production ramp-ups, compares two offers. An Eindhoven agency proposes 24,000 EUR for an English and Dutch site with a careers section, 14 weeks. Kolonell proposes Premium at 8 200 EUR with native English copy, a filterable case library and a careers hub linked to the firm's applicant tracking tool, on a written 5-week schedule; the firm's marketer adapts the key pages into Dutch.
The gap is 15,800 EUR, about two thirds of the agency quote. Joris keeps 3,000 EUR of it for a half-day portrait session with a local photographer and a short team video shot in Eindhoven, which Kolonell does not produce on site.
