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

The verdict in three sentences

In Port Louis, a Mauritian agency charges about 150 000 to 900 000 MUR, roughly 3 300 to 19 500 USD, for a property management company website, as a 2026 order of magnitude, and a local freelancer often sits between 30 000 and 120 000 MUR (about 650 to 2 600 USD), clearly below Kolonell. Kolonell offers a fixed price of 2 900, 4 900 or 8 900 USD, with native French and English copy written for investor owners living in Europe or South Africa. If your mandates come mainly from Mauritian owners who already know you, a local provider will do; if you must win investors at a distance, compare the three-year cost and the quality of the landlord pages.

This version is written for the English-speaking directors of property management firms in Port Louis; the French version is the primary one.

How much does a letting website cost in Mauritius?

These ranges are 2026 orders of magnitude, built from rates published by web agencies in Port Louis, Ebene and Moka, minimum project sizes on Clutch.co profiles for Mauritius and rates shown on Upwork and Fiverr by Mauritian developers. Indicative conversion: about 46 MUR to 1 USD.

To be frank: in Mauritius, local web work is often cheaper than Kolonell, and an Ebene agency can come and photograph your residences. What Kolonell brings is native copy that speaks to French and British investors, a project manager with a written update every week, a fixed price paid 50 % at kickoff and 50 % at delivery by bank transfer or Wise, and a domain registered in your name with every access. The tiers are presented on the international offer page.

Why does a Mauritian letting firm's site also target buyers abroad?

A good share of the homes managed from Port Louis belong to non-resident owners: foreign buyers in the schemes open to non-citizens (PDS projects, Smart Cities, apartments in authorised buildings), overseen by the Economic Development Board, and Mauritians of the diaspora. They buy in the north (Grand Baie, Pereybere), the west (Tamarin, Black River) or the centre (Moka, Ebene, Quatre Bornes), then look for a firm that lets, collects, maintains and reports. Tenants are often expatriate managers from financial services firms and the business districts of Ebene and Port Louis.

The site must therefore reassure at a distance:

• landlord pages: full management, letting only, holiday residence management, with fees shown or on request;
• mandate request with region, property type (villa, apartment, penthouse), furnished or not, project handover date;
• owner reporting: show an anonymised sample monthly statement, often what convinces an investor;
• available units from your software or linking to the Mauritian portals you use;
• tenant area: repair request form with photos (air conditioning, pool, garden), the full portal coming from your management software or from an application quoted separately.

Languages: French and English cover most needs; Creole is mainly used on the phone. Kolonell writes both site languages natively, with bilingual included from Premium.

Compliance, stated factually: Mauritius applies the Data Protection Act 2017, supervised by the Data Protection Office; your forms must state how data is used and you should not collect identity documents through a plain form. Tourist letting requires a permit from the Tourism Authority: check your situation before offering short stays. For accessibility, WCAG 2.2 AA is a sound target. This is not legal advice.

What is the real cost over three years?

Hosting, domain and maintenance assumptions are identical for each option. Maintenance is set at 80 USD per month, an order of magnitude, starting after the 3 months of support included by Kolonell.

The freelancer remains the cheapest and the local agency keeps the advantage of on-site photos. Kolonell makes sense if the copy and project management matter more to you.

Which traps should you avoid in quotes?

• A site delivered only in French when half the owners read English.
• A .mu or .com domain registered in the provider's name.
• Units typed in by hand, with no link to the management software.
• A mobile app proposed from the start when a well-designed repair form is enough.
• No mention of a privacy notice or consent.

Questions to ask: who writes the copy, in how many revision rounds, who hosts, and how much does a residence page added in a year cost.

Kolonell's limits: no on-site shoots, no in-person meetings. The team works on GMT, four hours behind Mauritius; Google Meet calls are booked in your morning or early afternoon. For a multilingual property site, Kolonell built the one for Orven Properties, an off-plan property advisory in Dubai, in French, English and Arabic.

Mini case study

Illustrative example. Nadia P. runs a 310-unit firm in Port Louis, mostly apartments in new developments in Moka and Grand Baie, 60 % owned by people living in France. An Ebene agency quotes 520 000 MUR (about 11 300 USD) with a custom client area. She picks Kolonell Premium at 8 900 USD, links her software's owner area and books a local photographer for 45 000 MUR (about 980 USD). Total: 9 880 USD, about 1 420 USD less, with a bilingual site written for her investors.
