The verdict in three sentences
For an Amsterdam real estate investment company with 300 million EUR of assets, a credible corporate website costs 15,000 to 40,000 EUR with a nearshore team in 2026, and often 30,000 to 75,000 EUR with a local agency. Amsterdam agencies bill 120 to 160 EUR per hour versus 55 to 75 EUR per hour nearshore, for a 10 to 16 week project. The site becomes a fundraising and investor relations tool: it must reassure an investment committee in under three minutes of browsing.
What investors, tenants and partners expect
A real estate company speaks to four audiences: investors and limited partners (pension funds, family offices, banks), tenants and retailers, municipalities and developers, and job candidates. The CFO is often the project sponsor, because the investor area and financial publications sit in their remit.
The building blocks to plan:
- Investor area: key figures (appraised value, EPRA occupancy, LTV, yield), financial calendar, annual and half-year reports, AIFMD and SFDR disclosures.
- Asset map: offices, retail, logistics and residential assets geolocated, with floor areas, tenants (if permitted) and BREEAM or GRESB credentials.
- Interactive annual report: a navigable web version alongside the PDF, with charts and ESG indicators.
- Sustainability pages: energy label trajectory, EU taxonomy alignment, CSRD reporting where applicable.
- Newsroom: acquisitions, completions, disposals.
| Scope | Content | Nearshore 2026 (EUR) | Amsterdam agency 2026 (EUR) | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corporate core | 12 to 18 pages, news, contact, headless CMS | 15,000 to 20,000 | 30,000 to 42,000 | 10 weeks |
| Investor area | Key figures, document library, calendar | 4,000 to 8,000 | 8,000 to 16,000 | +2 weeks |
| Asset map | 40 to 80 assets, filters by type and city | 4,000 to 9,000 | 8,000 to 18,000 | +2 weeks |
| Interactive annual report | Web report, animated charts | 5,000 to 10,000 | 10,000 to 20,000 | +2 to 3 weeks |
| Accessibility audit and fixes | WCAG 2.1 AA audit, fixes, statement | 2,500 to 5,000 | 5,000 to 9,000 | in parallel |
| Restricted LP access | Authentication, confidential documents | 3,000 to 6,000 | 6,000 to 12,000 | +1 week |
| Full range | All blocks | 30,000 to 40,000 | 60,000 to 75,000 | 14 to 16 weeks |
Accessibility, EU hosting and editorial governance
Accessibility is no longer optional for public-facing sites: the European Accessibility Act has applied since June 2025 to many services, and an accessible corporate site sends a consistent ESG signal. WCAG 2.1 AA is the practical benchmark for the audit.
| Requirement | What it implies | Indicative 2026 cost |
|---|---|---|
| WCAG 2.1 AA | Contrast, keyboard navigation, alternatives to charts | 2,500 to 5,000 EUR |
| Accessibility statement | Dedicated page, published conformance level | Included in the audit |
| EU hosting | Cloud in the Netherlands or Germany, daily backups | 40 to 150 EUR/month |
| Approval workflow | Editor, legal counsel, CFO before publication | Included in the headless CMS |
| Security | CSP headers, WAF, two-factor login for editors | 1,000 to 2,500 EUR |
| Maintenance and updates | Updates, financial publications | 250 to 700 EUR/month |
The approval workflow is often overlooked. Financial information published by mistake before the board meeting can create a real issue: a CMS like Sanity can enforce multi-level approval.
Amsterdam agency or nearshore team
At 120 to 160 EUR per hour, a 360-hour project costs 43,000 to 58,000 EUR in Amsterdam. A French and English-speaking nearshore team like Kolonell, based in Dakar, works at 55 to 75 EUR per hour, so 20,000 to 27,000 EUR for the same hours, on a time zone one to two hours behind CET. The difference is 23,000 to 31,000 EUR, with equivalent design and code quality if the specification is solid.

Need a professional website?
Kolonell builds websites that attract clients, optimized for the Sénégalese market. Free quote in 2 minutes.
Sanne, CFO of an Amsterdam real estate company with 62 assets and 300 million EUR under management, sends about 140 presentation packs per year to investors and lenders. Each pack takes her team 3 hours to assemble figures, plans and reports.
She chooses a nearshore site at 32,000 EUR with investor area, asset map and restricted access, plus 450 EUR per month of maintenance, so 37,400 EUR in year one, versus a 68,000 EUR local quote. By pointing to the investor area, time per pack drops to 1 hour: 280 hours saved, about 25,200 EUR at a loaded cost of 90 EUR per hour. If the site helps secure even one refinancing 10 basis points cheaper on 20 million EUR of debt, the annual gain reaches another 20,000 EUR (2026 order of magnitude).
FAQ
How much does a corporate website for a real estate company in Amsterdam cost?
Between 15,000 and 40,000 EUR nearshore depending on the blocks, and roughly double with a local agency. The core alone costs 15,000 to 20,000 EUR nearshore.
Is accessibility mandatory for a private real estate fund?
It depends on size and services offered, but European accessibility requirements have widened since 2025. A WCAG audit costs 2,500 to 5,000 EUR nearshore and also strengthens ESG reporting.
What timeline for a site with an investor area?
Allow 10 weeks for the core and 14 to 16 weeks with all blocks. Collecting asset data and legal review often take 3 to 4 weeks.
Can tenant names appear on the asset map?
Only with their written consent. Many companies show asset type, floor area and occupancy instead, for example '8,400 m² of offices, 96% let'.
Should the annual report have a web version?
It is not mandatory, but an interactive web version is easier to share and to read on mobile. It costs 5,000 to 10,000 EUR in year one, then 2,000 to 4,000 EUR for later editions.
