Property management company website cost in Victoria, Seychelles: local agencies vs Kolonell (2026)

The verdict in three sentences

In Victoria, a property management company website costs, as a 2026 order of magnitude, about 35 000 to 200 000 SCR, roughly 2 500 to 14 300 USD, with a Seychellois provider, and a Mahé freelancer often asks 10 000 to 40 000 SCR (about 700 to 2 900 USD): the local market is therefore cheaper than Kolonell on small projects. Kolonell builds the landlord pages, the available villas and apartments, the mandate form and the repair requests for a fixed 2 900, 4 900 or 8 900 USD, with native French and English copy. The choice depends on your owners: if they live abroad and read your site before calling you, the quality of the copy and the three-year cost matter more than the entry price.

This version is written for the English-speaking directors of property management firms in Victoria and across Mahé; the French version is the primary one.

What does a letting website cost in Seychelles?

The Seychellois web market is small: a few studios in Victoria and on Mahé, freelancers, and many companies that hand their site to agencies in Mauritius, South Africa or Dubai. The figures below are 2026 orders of magnitude, built from rates published by these providers, minimum project sizes visible on Clutch.co for the region and rates shown on Upwork. Indicative conversion: about 14 SCR to 1 USD.

Kolonell does not claim to beat a Mahé freelancer on price. What you pay extra for: pages written for owners who decide from London, Paris or Johannesburg, a project manager who sends you a written update every week, a fixed price paid 50 % at kickoff and 50 % at delivery by bank transfer or Wise, and a domain in your name with every access handed over. See the details on the international offer page.

What do Mahé owners and tenants look for on your site?

Property management in Seychelles mainly concerns villas and apartments on Mahé (Beau Vallon, Eden Island, Anse Royale, the hills above Victoria), plus some properties on Praslin and La Digue. Year-round tenants are often expatriates: managers at banks and financial services firms, staff of international organisations, hotel general managers. Owners are Seychellois families letting a house or part of one, and foreign owners, notably on Eden Island, who entrust their property while off the island.

Your site should therefore cover:

• Owner services: annual lets, furnished lets for expatriates, holiday rental management, upkeep (garden, pool, air conditioning), with fees shown or on request.
• Mandate form: island, district, property type, bedrooms, furnished or not, availability period.
• Available properties: one page per villa with photos you supply, access map, letting terms.
• Repair requests: form with photos and a reachable number, as the rainy season brings its share of leaks and outages.
• Holiday rentals: link to your booking tool or to your listings on the platforms you already use.

Compliance, stated factually: self-catering tourist accommodation requires a licence from the Tourism Department, and property purchases by non-Seychellois are subject to government authorisation; your site should promise nothing on this point. Forms must respect the Seychelles data protection law and state how the information collected is used; avoid collecting identity documents through a form. For accessibility, WCAG 2.2 AA remains the right technical reference. This is not legal advice.

How much will the site cost you over three years?

Hosting, domain, maintenance and photo assumptions are the same for each option. Maintenance is estimated at 70 USD per month.

Here, Kolonell Growth is the most expensive option over three years. It becomes worthwhile if you need copy that convinces foreign owners, or if you are weighing a foreign agency above 8 600 USD. A bilingual FR/EN site is included from Premium.

How do you compare quotes without getting it wrong?

Ask each provider these questions:

• Who writes the villa pages and the landlord pages, and in which language?
• Will the .sc or .com domain be registered in your company's name?
• Will the site stay fast on an average mobile connection?
• Who steps in if the site goes down during high season?
• How much does adding a villa or a page cost in six months?

Red flags: no written contract, hosting on the provider's personal account, no privacy notice, a price that changes after the mockup.

Kolonell's limits: no on-site shoots, no in-person meetings. The team works on GMT, four hours behind Seychelles; Google Meet calls fit into your morning or early afternoon.

Mini case study

Illustrative example. Marie-Claire H. manages 65 villas and apartments on Mahé, half of them owned by people living in Europe. She compares a freelancer at 25 000 SCR (about 1 800 USD), a Mauritian agency at 150 000 SCR (about 10 700 USD) and Kolonell Premium at 8 900 USD in FR/EN. She chooses Kolonell and books a local photographer for about 10 000 SCR (700 USD), 9 600 USD in total, 1 100 USD less than the foreign agency. With a villa let year-round at 3 000 USD per month and a 10 % fee, a single new mandate brings in 3 600 USD per year.

FAQ

What does a property management website cost in Seychelles in 2026?

As an order of magnitude, 10 000 to 40 000 SCR (700 to 2 900 USD) with a freelancer and 35 000 to 200 000 SCR (2 500 to 14 300 USD) with a studio or agency. Kolonell charges a fixed 2 900, 4 900 or 8 900 USD.

For native copy, the project manager and the fixed price. If your site mainly displays a phone number, a freelancer under 2 900 USD is enough.

Yes, property pages can be grouped by island from Growth. Photos are supplied by you or a local photographer.
