The verdict in three sentences
In Aarhus, a property management company website (for an administration firm managing rental homes and owners' associations) costs, as a 2026 order of magnitude, about 60 000 to 250 000 DKK (roughly 8 000 to 33 500 EUR) with a local agency. A good Danish freelancer delivers a simple site for 18 000 to 55 000 DKK (roughly 2 400 to 7 400 EUR), on a par with Kolonell, which charges a fixed 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 EUR with native English copywriting, a project manager and a written scope, but no Danish copywriting. If your boards and tenants read Danish, local is often the better choice; if you serve international tenants and foreign investors, compare the three-year total cost.
What do Aarhus agencies, freelancers and Kolonell charge?
These ranges are cautious orders of magnitude, not official figures. They draw on public price lists from web agencies in Aarhus and Central Jutland, minimum project sizes visible on Clutch.co profiles, hourly rates published by local agencies (often 800 to 1 200 DKK an hour, about 107 to 160 EUR) and rates visible on Upwork and Danish freelance platforms.
| Criterion | Aarhus agency | Local freelancer | Kolonell |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build cost, 2026 order of magnitude | 60 000 to 250 000 DKK (about 8 000 to 33 500 EUR) | 18 000 to 55 000 DKK (about 2 400 to 7 400 EUR) | 2 700 / 4 500 / 8 200 EUR, fixed price |
| Danish copy | Native | Native | Supplied by you or quoted separately |
| English copy | Often translated | Variable | Native English copywriting included |
| Typical timeline | 8 to 12 weeks | 4 to 8 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks, Premium usually 4 to 6 |
| Out-of-scope changes | 800 to 1 200 DKK an hour | 500 to 800 DKK an hour | Quoted before any work |
| Support after launch | Separate contract | Case by case | 3 months, 6 on Premium |
| Ownership | Check | Check | Domain in your name, all access handed over |
Payment is by bank transfer or Wise: 50 % at kickoff, 50 % at delivery, in EUR. The team is based in Senegal (GMT), one to two hours behind Aarhus depending on the season, so Google Meet calls happen during your office hours, with a written update every week. Kolonell does not visit buildings or take photos: your team or a local photographer provides them. Details are on our international website offer.
What budget should you plan over three years?
The firm in this example picks an English site (Growth) whose Danish pages are written by its own team. The table keeps the same maintenance assumption on both sides, as Kolonell quotes maintenance after the support period separately.
| Item over 36 months | Aarhus agency (Danish and English) | Kolonell Growth (English) |
|---|---|---|
| Site build | 150 000 DKK (about 20 100 EUR) | 4 500 EUR |
| Danish pages | Included | Written by your team; integration priced in the quote |
| Maintenance (same assumption) | 30 months at 100 EUR, 3 000 EUR | 3 000 EUR, maintenance quoted separately |
| Available homes linked to your software or BoligPortal | 15 hours at 1 000 DKK, 15 000 DKK (about 2 010 EUR) | Included if the tool provides an embed code |
| Building photos | Local photographer, about 8 000 DKK (1 070 EUR) | Same photographer, 1 070 EUR |
| Indicative total | About 26 180 EUR | About 8 570 EUR, plus integration of the Danish pages |
To be frank: an Aarhus freelancer at 40 000 DKK (about 5 360 EUR) would come to about 9 430 EUR over the same period, barely more than Kolonell, with native Danish copy. Kolonell only comes out ahead if English carries a real share of your business.
What does each package include for an administration firm?
| Item | Starter 2 700 EUR | Growth 4 500 EUR | Premium 8 200 EUR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Administration of owners' associations and housing cooperatives | One services page | Dedicated page (budget, general meeting, accounts) | Full section with qualified proposal request |
| Letting management for investors | Paragraph | Owner page (fees shown or on request, reporting) | Owner section with onboarding process |
| Available homes | Link to your listings | Embedded listings | Embedded listings with district pages |
| International tenants | Information page | Arrival guide (lease, deposit, notice) | Step-by-step guides and FAQ |
| Repair requests | Contact form | Form with photos | Urgent and non-urgent paths |
| Languages | One language | One language | English and French; Danish supplied or quoted |
| Support | 3 months | 3 months | 6 months |
A custom portal for board members or tenants is an application quoted separately; most firms link the one in their management software. Ongoing SEO is also quoted separately.
What does an Aarhus property manager need?
Aarhus combines a large student population around the university, new districts such as Aarhus Ø on the former harbour, and employers that hire internationally, from wind energy to food. Administration firms here manage rental buildings for private and institutional investors, and administer owners' associations (ejerforeninger) and housing cooperatives (andelsboligforeninger), whose boards choose their administrator on the strength of a proposal.
- Speak to boards: what administration covers, accounts, the general meeting, how long a handover takes.
- Welcome international tenants in English: lease, deposit, move-in report, notice.
- Link your listings published on BoligPortal or from your software.
- Show your Google reviews and an emergency number.
On compliance, facts only. Private renting in Denmark falls under the Rent Act (lejeloven), consolidated as of 1 July 2022, which among other things caps the deposit at three months' rent: your tenant guides must stay aligned with it. Forms fall under the GDPR, supervised by the Danish Data Protection Agency (Datatilsynet). The European Accessibility Act, applicable since 28 June 2025, covers certain consumer services; WCAG 2.1 AA remains a sound reference. This is not legal advice.

Which questions should you ask providers?
- Who writes the Danish and the English? Unreviewed machine translation undermines an administration proposal.
- Does the quote separate associations from letting management? They are two different decision makers.
- Are listings linked to a tool?
- Is the domain in your name?
- Is the out-of-scope rate written down before the work?
Mini case study
Illustrative example. Mette K. runs a firm administering 38 associations (about 1 400 apartments) and managing 600 rental homes in Aarhus, a growing share let to international employees. An Aarhus agency quotes 150 000 DKK (about 20 100 EUR) over 10 weeks; Kolonell proposes Growth at 4 500 EUR for an English site, with Danish pages written by her team, in 4 weeks.
Build gap: about 15 600 EUR, before the Danish integration priced in the quote. Mette sizes what she controls: a new association of 30 apartments, at her fee of 1 900 DKK per apartment per year, brings 57 000 DKK a year (about 7 640 EUR). The site guarantees no mandate; it makes the proposal request clearer for a board.
