The verdict in three sentences
In Eindhoven, a website for a notaris office costs, as a 2026 order of magnitude, 5 000 to 25 000 EUR at a local agency and 2 000 to 8 000 EUR with a freelancer, who is often the cheapest option over three years. Kolonell delivers deed pages, document checklists and online booking at a fixed price of 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 EUR, with native English written for the foreign engineers, researchers and founders of the Brainport region. Kolonell's value here lies mainly in the quality of the English version and project management, not in the lowest price.
How do prices compare in Eindhoven?
Prudent orders of magnitude, drawn from public price grids of agencies in North Brabant, minimum project sizes on Clutch.co, hourly rates published by Dutch agencies and rates visible on Malt and Upwork. Eindhoven agencies are generally a little cheaper than Amsterdam ones.

Which clients does a notary website serve in Eindhoven?
Eindhoven runs on Brainport: ASML and its supplier chain, Philips, the High Tech Campus, TU/e and a dense layer of startups. A large share of newcomers are highly skilled workers from abroad, often without any Dutch. Their notarial needs are specific: buying a home with a mortgage deed, a prenuptial or cohabitation agreement for a couple of different nationalities, a will covering assets in several countries. On the business side: BV incorporation, share transfers (in the Netherlands, transferring shares in a BV requires a notarial deed), and amendments to articles during a funding round.
- English pages that explain the procedure, not only the deed: who signs, when, with which interpreter if needed.
- A separate business section for founders and finance directors.
- Indicative prices for common deeds, since notary fees are not fixed by law in the Netherlands.
- An explanation of identity checks: as an obliged entity under the Wwft, the notary must identify clients; explaining this upfront avoids tense exchanges.
- Documents for use abroad: translations and apostilles issued by the competent court, without promising lead times.
Compliance, kept factual: GDPR, the Dutch UAVG and the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens; no BSN number or passport copy in a web form, but a secure upload tool instead. The KNB professional rules frame the tone of communication. WCAG 2.1 AA remains the accessibility reference. This is not legal advice.
What does each package include for an internationally minded office?
| Element | Starter 2 700 EUR | Growth 4 500 EUR | Premium 8 200 EUR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Language | English companion site | One language, often English | Bilingual structure; Dutch supplied by you or quoted |
| Private clients | Main families of deeds | One page per deed with documents and indicative price | Paths by situation (purchase, international couple, estate) |
| Businesses | One page | BV, share transfer and articles pages | Paths for founders and finance teams |
| Booking | Link to your calendar | Embedded third-party calendar | Per deed and per staff member |
| Document upload | Link to your tool | Embedded third-party tool | Third-party tool linked to each path |
| Support | 3 months | 3 months | 6 months |
A file tracking portal or a data room for corporate transactions is a custom application quoted on request, as is ongoing SEO.
What is the three-year cost, freelancer included?
Scenario: Dutch and English site with a secure upload tool. Kolonell maintenance after support is quoted on request; the table applies the same assumption to all three options.
| Item over 36 months | Eindhoven agency | Local freelancer | Kolonell Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build | 12 000 EUR, two languages | 5 000 EUR, two languages | 8 200 EUR |
| Copywriting | Included, English translated | English by a translator, 1 200 EUR | Dutch supplied or quoted, assumption 1 500 EUR |
| Maintenance (same assumption) | 100 EUR per month over 30 months, 3 000 EUR | 3 000 EUR | 3 000 EUR, quoted on request |
| Secure upload tool | 20 EUR per month, 720 EUR | 720 EUR | 720 EUR |
| 8 extra pages | 8 hours at 95 EUR, 760 EUR | 8 hours at 70 EUR, 560 EUR | Quoted before work, assumption 600 EUR |
| Indicative total | 16 480 EUR | 10 480 EUR | 14 020 EUR |
The freelancer wins on price. Kolonell makes sense if you want natively written English, a project manager and a schedule that holds; otherwise, a good local freelancer is a reasonable choice.

What red flags should you look for in quotes?
- English included without saying who writes it.
- A contact form that asks for the BSN or a passport copy.
- No business section although corporate work is a large part of your activity.
- Hosting without a clear data processing agreement.
- Access kept by the provider after delivery.
Mini case study
Illustrative example. Joost K., notaris in a seven-person office with a strong corporate practice, sees more foreign founders from the High Tech Campus. An Eindhoven agency quotes 14 000 EUR for a bilingual site; a freelancer quotes 6 500 EUR. Kolonell proposes Premium at 8 200 EUR, with Dutch written by the office and a local photographer at 600 EUR.
Against the agency: 14 000 EUR versus 8 800 EUR, a 5 200 EUR gap. Against the freelancer, Kolonell costs 2 300 EUR more; Joost accepts that gap for the English pages on share transfers, which his clients read before every signing.
FAQ
How much does a notary website cost in Eindhoven in 2026?
As an order of magnitude, 5 000 to 25 000 EUR at an agency and 2 000 to 8 000 EUR with a freelancer. Kolonell charges 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 EUR at a fixed price.
Does an Eindhoven notary office need an English site?
For an office serving Brainport employees and founders, it is often useful. The Growth package at 4 500 EUR is enough for an English-only site.
Why explain identity checks on the site?
The notary is an obliged entity under the Wwft and must identify clients. A clear page listing the documents requested reduces back-and-forth before signing.
