What a wealth management or family office website costs in Cork: local agencies vs Kolonell (2026)

The verdict in three sentences

A wealth management or family office website in Cork usually costs 5 000 to 25 000 EUR from a Cork agency in 2026 (ballpark), and Dublin agencies serving financial firms frequently start higher. Kolonell delivers a discreet, GDPR-ready site at 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 EUR, fixed in a written quote, with native English copy and a project manager on Irish time. The cheapest line on a quote matters less than three questions: who writes the copy, who owns the domain, and how your compliance sign-off fits in the schedule.

Why do Cork quotes for a wealth firm vary so much?

Cork has a real local web scene, from small studios in the city centre to digital agencies serving the pharma, tech and food companies around Little Island, Ringaskiddy and the Docklands. Few of them specialise in regulated financial services, so wealth firms often end up choosing between a generalist Cork agency, a Dublin agency with a financial services portfolio, or a freelancer. The ranges below are a prudent 2026 ballpark based on public agency rate cards, Clutch.co profiles stating minimum project sizes and freelance platform rates (Upwork, Malt). Scope moves them a lot.

Two practical points. Irish agencies normally quote ex VAT, and the standard Irish VAT rate is 23 %, so check every quote on the same basis. And a Cork agency that charges by the hour will bill each extra service page, each compliance revision round and each new team bio, whereas Kolonell's tier fixes the scope in advance. The tiers are described on our international website offer.

What must a Cork wealth or family office site contain?

Cork wealth is often built on businesses: farming and agri-food families across the county, founders and senior staff from the pharma and medtech plants, professionals who sold a practice, and returning emigrants. A site that speaks to them talks about succession, retirement, business exit and family governance, plainly.

• Discretion: no client names, no performance figures, and AUM only if already published by the firm.
• People and governance: directors, Qualified Financial Advisers, investment committee, described with the credentials they actually hold.
• Services: financial planning, investment management, pensions and retirement options, succession and business transfer, philanthropy, without investment advice or return figures.
• Regulatory disclosures: the regulatory status statement, complaints procedure and legal pages your compliance team requires. MiFID II marketing communication rules and the Central Bank of Ireland framework apply depending on the firm's authorisation, and the compliance officer must validate the content.
• GDPR: privacy notice, cookie consent, secure contact form; the Data Protection Commission is the Irish supervisory authority.
• Accessibility: the European Accessibility Act applies since 28 June 2025 to certain services, including some banking services; ask your adviser whether it reaches your activity, and aim for WCAG 2.1 AA either way.
• Languages: English by default. Irish or other language pages can be added, with translations supplied by you or quoted separately.

A single family office that does not take clients may still want a short, discreet site for banks, co-investors and recruits. A client or investor login is a custom application, always quoted on request. None of this is legal advice.

Mini case study

Illustrative example, fictitious firm: Siobhán is a director of a family office set up after the sale of a county Cork food business. A Cork agency quotes 11 000 EUR plus 120 EUR a month for hosting and support. Three years: 11 000 + (120 x 36) = 15 320 EUR ex VAT. Kolonell Growth costs 4 500 EUR with 3 months of support; if she budgets the same 120 EUR a month for the following 33 months (3 960 EUR, maintenance being quoted), she reaches about 8 460 EUR. The difference, around 6 860 EUR, covers several years of the family's compliance and legal review costs for the site.
