The verdict in three sentences
In Monaco, a portfolio management company, multi-family office or single family office redoing its website receives quotes from Monegasque and French Riviera agencies that usually sit at the top of a 6 000 to 35 000+ EUR range, as a 2026 ballpark, since the Principality is among the most expensive places in Europe. Kolonell builds this type of site on a fixed grid of 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 EUR, native English or French copywriting included, with a bilingual FR/EN site in Premium and a project manager on Google Meet at Monaco hours. For an English-speaking partner in Monaco, the decision turns on discreet content, compliance sign-off and three-year cost, far more than on the launch price.
What do agencies in Monaco and on the Riviera charge?
A firm in the Carré d'Or, Fontvieille or Monte-Carlo often consults a Monegasque agency, an agency in Nice or a studio in Sophia Antipolis, sometimes a Paris agency. The ranges below are prudent: they come from public rate cards of eurozone agencies, rates visible on freelance platforms (Malt, Upwork) and minimum project sizes listed on Clutch.co profiles. They are not official figures and they vary a lot with brand creation, photography, animation and the number of languages.
| Provider | Build price (2026 ballpark) | Timing | Positioning | To check |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monegasque agency | 15 000 to 35 000+ EUR | several weeks to a few months | proximity, used to Principality clients | copy, translations and photos often extra |
| Nice or Sophia Antipolis agency | 6 000 to 25 000 EUR | variable | more moderate cost, same time zone | knowledge of the Monaco framework |
| High-end Paris agency | 15 000 to 35 000+ EUR | several months | strong brand work | maintenance budget |
| Freelancer | 2 500 to 9 000 EUR | depends on availability | price | continuity and support |
| Kolonell Starter | 2 700 EUR | 3 to 4 weeks | fixed price, native copy, 3 months of support | other languages supplied or quoted |
| Kolonell Growth | 4 500 EUR | 3 to 4 weeks | detailed service pages, full team page | other languages supplied or quoted |
| Kolonell Premium | 8 200 EUR | usually 4 to 6 weeks, written schedule at kickoff | bilingual FR/EN site, more refined design | client area quoted on request |
The chosen tier is paid by bank transfer or Wise, 50 % to start and 50 % at delivery. Details are on our international website offer.
What a wealth management site has to show in Monaco
In Monaco almost everything comes through referral: a lawyer, a notary, a bank or another family office. The site is there to confirm, in a few seconds, that the firm is serious, regulated and reachable.
Restraint first. No client names, no performance, no assets under management unless already published, no investment advice. The site presents a philosophy, services (wealth planning, investment advisory, succession, philanthropy), a team, a governance structure and contact details.
The languages of the Principality. French is the official language, Italian is very present and English is the shared language of the international clientele. Kolonell writes natively in English and French, so the bilingual FR/EN Premium tier covers most needs. Italian or any other language is supplied by you or quoted separately.
Compliance. Data protection falls under Monaco Law No. 1.565 of 2024, which applies to the contact form, cookies and analytics. Financial marketing rules depend on the firm's licence; for portfolio management companies the supervisor is the Commission de Contrôle des Activités Financières (CCAF). Your compliance officer signs off every page before launch. A single family office that does not take clients may want a minimal, very discreet presence, and that is a perfectly legitimate brief. This is not legal advice.
Client area. A secure portal for documents, reporting or onboarding is a custom application, quoted on request, outside the grid.
| Site element | Starter 2 700 EUR | Growth 4 500 EUR | Premium 8 200 EUR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home, philosophy, contact, legal notices | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Services (planning, succession, philanthropy) | Single page | One page per service | One page per service, richer layout |
| Team and governance | Short section | Full team page | Full team and governance pages |
| Regulatory information | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Secure contact form with consent wording | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Bilingual FR/EN site | No | No | Yes |
| Italian or another language | Supplied or quoted | Supplied or quoted | Supplied or quoted |
| Client or investor portal | Quoted on request | Quoted on request | Quoted on request |
How do you compare quotes over three years?
In Monaco the gap between two quotes for comparable sites can exceed 25 000 EUR. Put them side by side over 36 months.
| Line over 36 months | Typical local agency | Kolonell |
|---|---|---|
| Build | 6 000 to 35 000+ EUR | 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 EUR |

| Bilingual FR/EN version | often billed as an extra language | included in Premium |
| Italian | translation billed | supplied by you or quoted |
| First 3 months of support | depends on contract | included |
| Maintenance, months 4 to 36 | monthly retainer or time and materials | quoted |
| Domain and access | sometimes in the agency's name | in your name, all access handed over |
Need a professional website?
Kolonell builds websites that attract clients, optimized for the Sénégalese market. Free quote in 2 minutes.
Red flags: a quote with no page list, copy "to be supplied" with no budget, a monthly visibility package with no deliverables, a domain or hosting held by the provider, analytics with no consent setup. At Kolonell, ongoing search work and maintenance after the third month are quoted on request, in writing.
Two real projects show how we work remotely for demanding clients: TR Signing Group (trsigninggroup.com), notary and apostille services in New Jersey, with a bilingual EN/FR site, quote requests verified file by file, a booking calendar, live chat and a back office; and Orven Properties (orvenproperties.com), off-plan real-estate advisory in Dubai, with a trilingual FR/EN/AR site, project pages and investor guides.
Mini case study
Illustrative example, fictional persona. Marco is a partner in a multi-family office in Monte-Carlo with French-, English- and Italian-speaking clients. A Monegasque agency quotes 30 000 EUR for a trilingual site, copy included. He looks at Kolonell Premium at 8 200 EUR, bilingual FR/EN and copy included, and budgets 2 500 EUR for an Italian translation by a financial translator. Total: 10 700 EUR, a gap of 19 300 EUR at launch. He pays 4 100 EUR at kickoff and 4 100 EUR at delivery, and asks both providers for a written maintenance price to complete his 36-month comparison.
FAQ
Is working with a team outside Monaco compatible with the discretion expected?
Yes, as long as the domain, hosting and accounts are in your firm's name. Kolonell hands over all access at delivery, for a fixed price of 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 EUR.
What is the time difference with Monaco?
The team is based in Senegal (GMT), 1 hour behind Monaco in winter and 2 hours in summer. Google Meet calls are set at your hour, with a written update every week.
Do you write in Italian?
No, Kolonell writes natively in English and French only. Italian is supplied by you or quoted separately, then integrated into the site.
Can the site stay completely low-profile?
A public site remains visible, but it can be limited to 3 or 4 pages with no sensitive information. That is often the choice of a single family office, with Starter at 2 700 EUR.
How do I get a comparable quote?
Send us the page list and languages you gave the local agency and we answer on the same basis. You can request your quote in a few minutes.
