The verdict in three sentences
In Vaduz, a property management company website from an agency in Liechtenstein or the Rhine valley costs, as a 2026 order of magnitude, about 14 000 to 50 000 CHF, and agencies in neighbouring Vorarlberg are often a little lower. Kolonell builds the owner pages, the residential units and office space, the mandate request and the repair flow for a fixed price of 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 CHF, written natively in English or French. To be frank: if your clients read almost only German, a local agency writing in German may be the better choice; Kolonell makes sense when English matters for your international tenants and foreign owners.
Why is a property management site in Vaduz a special case?
Liechtenstein has about 40 000 residents and more jobs than inhabitants: many employees commute daily from eastern Switzerland and Vorarlberg, and residence permits are subject to quotas. The stock to manage is therefore scarce and in demand. A firm in Vaduz, Schaan or Triesen typically manages:
- Homes let to international employees of the large industrial employers in Schaan and Eschen, or of the banks and fiduciaries in Vaduz.
- Offices and commercial space occupied by fiduciaries, law firms and service companies.
- Property held by foundations, companies or families whose decision makers do not always live in the country.
- Condominiums to administer, with meetings and statements.
The site has to speak to a foundation board member as much as to an engineer arriving from abroad: German for the local market, English for international tenants and owners.
What do regional agencies, freelancers and Kolonell charge?
These ranges are cautious and indicative. They draw on public rate cards from agencies in Liechtenstein, the St. Gallen Rhine valley and Vorarlberg, minimum project sizes on Clutch.co profiles, published hourly rates (often 130 to 190 CHF an hour on the Swiss and Liechtenstein side) and rates visible on Malt and Upwork.
| Criterion | Liechtenstein or Rhine valley agency | Vorarlberg agency | Regional freelancer | Kolonell |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Build cost, 2026 order of magnitude | 14 000 to 50 000 CHF | 8 000 to 30 000 EUR (about 7 500 to 28 000 CHF) | 4 000 to 12 000 CHF | 2 700 / 4 500 / 8 200 CHF, fixed price |
| German version | Written natively | Written natively | Depends on the profile | Supplied by your translator or quoted separately |
| English version | Often extra | Often extra | Varies | Native copywriting included |
| Usual timeline | 8 to 14 weeks | 6 to 12 weeks | 4 to 10 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks, Premium usually 4 to 6 |
| Post-launch support | Separate retainer | Separate retainer | Case by case | 3 months, 6 on Premium |
| Ownership | Check | Check | Check | Domain in your name, access handed over |
Payment by bank transfer or Wise, 50 % at kickoff and 50 % on delivery. A project manager works on your hours, through Google Meet calls and a written update every week; the team is based in Senegal (GMT), one or two hours behind Vaduz depending on the season. No on-site photos and no in-person meetings: a local photographer covers the buildings. Plan details are on our international website offer.
What does the site cost over three years?
Assumption: an English and German site for a mid-sized firm. Since Kolonell quotes maintenance after the support period separately, the table uses the same maintenance assumption on both sides.
| Item over 36 months | Regional agency (mid-range) | Kolonell Growth |
|---|---|---|
| English site build | Included in 30 000 CHF | 4 500 CHF |
| German version | Included in 30 000 CHF | Professional translator, about 2 200 CHF |
| Maintenance (same assumption) | 4 500 CHF | 4 500 CHF, maintenance quoted separately |
| Units embedded from the software or portal | 10 hours at 150 CHF, 1 500 CHF | Included when an embed code exists |
| Building and office photos | Local photographer, about 1 500 CHF | Same photographer, 1 500 CHF |
| Indicative total | About 37 500 CHF | About 12 700 CHF |
The gap is real, but it assumes you manage the relationship with a translator yourself. If nobody on the team has that time, factor it into the comparison.
What does each plan include for a Vaduz property manager?
| Item | Starter 2 700 CHF | Growth 4 500 CHF | Premium 8 200 CHF |
|---|---|---|---|
| Owner pages (management, fees on request) | One services page | Pages by type: private, foundation or company, condominium | Full section with onboarding process |
| Homes and offices | Link to your listings | Units embedded from your software or portal | Separate home and office pages by municipality |
| Mandate request | Simple form | Qualified form (property type, floor area, status) | Qualified form routed by department |
| Tenants and repairs | Contact form | Repair form with photos | Urgent and non-urgent paths, portal link |
| French and English site | No | No | Included |
| Post-launch support | 3 months | 3 months | 6 months |
A custom owner portal (reports for a foundation board, documents, ticket tracking) is an application quoted separately, and so is ongoing SEO.

On compliance, facts only. As a member of the European Economic Area, Liechtenstein applies the GDPR, supplemented by its national data protection act and supervised by the Datenschutzstelle: mandate and repair forms should link to a compliant privacy policy. Liechtenstein tenancy law is not Swiss law, despite the shared franc: do not reuse Swiss property managers' texts as they are. WCAG 2.1 AA is the technical reference for accessibility. This is not legal advice.
In quotes, watch out for:
- Legal texts copied from a Swiss site without adaptation.
- A machine-translated English version for an audience of international professionals.
- A custom portal quoted by default when your software already has one.
- A domain or hosting account in the agency's name.
- No written list of pages and forms.
Mini case study
Illustrative example. Andreas H., partner in a firm managing 150 homes and several office floors across Vaduz, Schaan and Triesen, receives two proposals. A Rhine valley agency quotes 29 000 CHF for a German and English site with a custom tenant portal, over 12 weeks. Kolonell proposes Growth at 4 500 CHF for an English site linked to his software's portal, plus 2 200 CHF of German translation, so 6 700 CHF.
Build gap: 22 300 CHF. Andreas sizes what he controls: managing a 400 m² office floor let at 300 CHF per m² a year, so 120 000 CHF of rent, at his 5 % fee brings 6 000 CHF a year. The site guarantees no mandate; it presents the offer better to owners.
FAQ
How much does a property management website cost in Vaduz in 2026?
With a regional agency, plan on roughly 14 000 to 50 000 CHF; a Vorarlberg agency often asks 8 000 to 30 000 EUR. Kolonell charges 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 CHF fixed.
Does Kolonell write in German?
No. We write natively in English and French; German is supplied by your translator, often 1 800 to 3 000 CHF for a 12 to 15 page site, or quoted separately.
When is a local agency the better choice?
If over 90 % of your owners and tenants read German and you want on-site meetings, a regional agency is often a better fit. Kolonell suits firms where English and a fixed price come first.
Can you present offices and homes separately?
Yes, from Growth with separate forms, and on Premium with separate pages by municipality.
How long does it take?
Starter and Growth go live in 3 to 4 weeks; Premium follows a written plan, usually 4 to 6 weeks, with 6 months of support.
