The verdict in three sentences
For a management consultancy in Luxembourg, a redesign hinges on the insights archive, author pages and service and sector pages that already rank, often several hundred URLs in French, English and German. Luxembourg agencies commonly quote EUR 15,000 to 50,000 for this kind of project, against EUR 4,500 (Growth) or EUR 8,200 (Premium) on Kolonell's fixed grid, with gated content, events and CRM integration on quote. Plan 3 to 4 weeks of build once the partners have signed off the content, which in practice is the longest step.
Which signals say it is time to redesign?
In Luxembourg, a consultancy serves the financial centre, fund managers, European institutions and industry, from Kirchberg, Cloche d'Or or the Ville-Haute. The recurring signals:
- the offer has moved on (transformation, regulatory, operations) but the service pages are three years old;
- the insights archive is a chronological feed with no themes or author pages;
- the German or English version has drifted from the French one;
- the careers pages say nothing about consultant career paths;
- the contact form asks for ten fields, including the prospect's revenue.
Three or more signals justify a redesign rather than a new theme laid over the old structure.
What does a consultancy website redesign cost in Luxembourg?
A 2026 ballpark drawn from typical agency quotes and public agency rate pages, not from a survey. Excluding gated content, CRM and events.
| Option | 2026 ballpark | Languages | Insights archive | Typical timeline |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Luxembourg agency, full redesign | EUR 15,000 to 50,000 | Usually FR, EN, DE, LB optional | Migration quoted separately | 10 to 20 weeks |
| Greater Region agency (Metz, Trier, Arlon) | EUR 10,000 to 30,000 | Often FR and DE | Variable | 8 to 16 weeks |
| Freelancer | EUR 6,000 to 15,000 | Depends on the profile | Often manual | 6 to 12 weeks |
| Kolonell Starter | EUR 2,700 | Compact site | Limited archive | 3 to 4 weeks |
| Kolonell Growth | EUR 4,500 | Services, sectors and insights structure | Migration with 301 map | 3 to 4 weeks |
| Kolonell Premium | EUR 8,200 | The multilingual tier, languages set in the quote | Migration with 301 map | 3 to 4 weeks |
The Kolonell price includes a project manager reachable in your time zone, native English or French copywriting, delivery in 3 to 4 weeks and 3 months of support. These stay on quote: gated content (white papers behind a form), events and webinar module, CRM integration, client portal, custom integrations and SEO work. Tiers are presented on the international offer page.
What are the risks, and how do you handle them?
| Risk | Concrete example | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
| Traffic loss on the archive | 150 insights change URL without redirects | Full inventory (CMS, crawl, Search Console), article-by-article 301 map |
| Author pages deleted | Partner profiles vanish from search results | Author pages kept or redirected to the new team profile |
| Misaligned languages | A German sector page with no English equivalent | Page pairs and tested hreflang tags |
| Case studies without consent | A client named without written permission | Cases published only with client consent, otherwise anonymised |
| Over-collecting forms | Unneeded fields stored outside the retention policy | Minimum data, defined retention period, clear GDPR notice |
| Broken CRM sync | Enquiries stop reaching the pipeline | End-to-end tests on staging (integration on quote) |
| Unverifiable claims | Unsourced rankings or awards | Compliance review of all copy before go-live |
After the switch (DNS TTL lowered 48 hours ahead, go-live on a weekday morning), Search Console is checked weekly for 6 weeks. The GDPR applies, supervised by the CNPD: minimal forms, stated legal basis and retention period. This is not legal advice.

What is the timeline by phase?
- Audit and URL inventory (3 to 5 days): export of the archive and the service, sector, author and careers pages.
- Partner sign-off on content (1 to 4 weeks, on the firm's side): this is where schedules usually slip.
- Weeks 1 and 2: architecture, mockups, service, sector and careers pages.
- Week 3: migration of the archive and author pages, translations, compliance review.
- Week 4: go-live, redirects active, sitemap submitted, 6 weeks of monitoring.
When is a Luxembourg agency the better choice?
If you are launching a new brand, a secure client portal and an events programme at the same time, or want in-person workshops with every partner, a local agency is justified. Ask any provider: how many URLs the migration includes, who handles author pages, who writes in German, how case studies without consent are handled, and what maintenance costs after the included period. As a professional services reference, Kolonell built the website of TR Signing Group, a signing services company based in New Jersey.
Mini case study
Illustrative example: the fictional Pétrusse Stratégie, a 12-consultant firm in Kirchberg. Inventory: 160 insights each published in a single language, 30 service and sector pages in three languages (90 URLs), 12 author pages and 10 general pages in three languages (30 URLs), so 292 URLs to map. At about 2 minutes per URL, the 301 map takes close to 10 hours including checks. Budget: Premium at EUR 8,200 (the multilingual tier, French, English and German set in the quote), plus portraits by a local photographer (third-party cost, assumption EUR 1,200 to 2,000) and CRM integration on quote. Visible total excluding CRM: EUR 9,400 to 10,200, against EUR 15,000 to 50,000 with a local agency. Maintenance: market assumption EUR 120 per month; Kolonell maintenance after the 3 included months on quote.
