Property management company website cost in Fribourg: local agencies vs Kolonell (2026)

The verdict in three sentences

In Fribourg, a property management company website built by a local agency costs, as a 2026 ballpark, between 7 000 and 26 000 CHF, with the German version often making the difference between the bottom and the top of the range. Kolonell builds landlord pages, rental listings and new-building pages for a fixed price of 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 CHF, with native French copy and German supplied by you or quoted separately. In a bilingual city where first lettings of new buildings keep multiplying across the agglomeration, the right choice depends on your volume of new projects and your German-speaking clientele.

This version is written for the English-speaking partners of property management firms in Fribourg, a city whose bilingual university and international employers bring many English-speaking owners and tenants.

What do Fribourg agencies, freelancers and Kolonell charge?

These ranges are prudent ballparks, not official figures. They draw on public rate cards of Fribourg and French-speaking Swiss agencies, minimum project sizes visible on Clutch.co, hourly rates published by web agencies in the canton (often 100 to 170 CHF per hour) and rates shown on Malt or Upwork. A bilingual agency in the city has a real asset: it writes French and German in-house.

Payment is by bank transfer or Wise, 50 % at kickoff and 50 % at delivery. The project manager offers Google Meet calls at the firm's hour and a written update every week; the team is based in Senegal (GMT), one to two hours behind Fribourg depending on the season.

What does the second language cost, and do you need it?

In Fribourg, part of the owners and tenants speak German, especially around the Sense (Singine) and Lake districts. Not every firm needs a fully bilingual site: it depends on your portfolio.

What 3-year total cost should a Fribourg firm expect?

The table assumes the same maintenance on both sides, since Kolonell maintenance after the support period is quoted on request.

These figures structure the decision without predicting your invoice: ask every supplier for the same grid.

First lettings, condominiums, students: what should the site cover?

The Fribourg agglomeration (Villars-sur-Glâne, Marly, Givisiez, Granges-Paccot) and the Bulle area see many construction projects, which gives property managers first letting mandates from developers and investors. The city also has a bilingual university, hence student demand, and older housing stock in the Bourg and Auge quarters.

• One page per new building: location, unit types, availability date, plans and renderings supplied by the developer, registration form.
• Landlord and investor pages explaining how you run a first letting and the management that follows.
• Condominium (PPE) administration, with documents and contacts.
• Rental listings pulled from your software or your Homegate and ImmoScout24 ads.
• Repair requests and an emergency number.
• Google reviews tracked per office, Fribourg and Bulle for example.

On compliance, the facts only: the revised Federal Act on Data Protection (nLPD/revFADP), in force since 1 September 2023, applies to registrations and applications, with a duty to inform. Developers' renderings and photos must be used with their written permission. WCAG 2.1 AA is the technical accessibility reference. This is not legal advice.

What should you ask the supplier before signing?

• The cost of a new-building page, since you will add several a year.
• Who translates into German, and at what price per page.
• Is connecting the listings in the quote?
• Are the domain and all access in your name?
• Are the rights to the developer's renderings cleared?

Mini case study

Illustrative example. Nathalie G., partner in a Fribourg firm managing about 700 units and running 3 to 4 first lettings a year, compares two offers. The local agency proposes 18 000 CHF for a bilingual site and 300 CHF per new-building page. Kolonell proposes Growth at 4 500 CHF, 200 CHF per page quoted in advance, and her German-speaking colleague reviews a translation costing 2 200 CHF.

Over 3 years, with 9 new-building pages, 1 400 CHF of photos and the same maintenance (3 960 CHF), the total is 26 060 CHF versus 13 860 CHF, a 12 200 CHF gap. Nathalie picks Kolonell; a firm with no in-house German speaker would have done well to compare closely with a local bilingual agency.
