The verdict in three sentences
In St Peter Port, a website for a wealth manager, licensed fiduciary or family office generally costs 7 000 to 28 000 GBP from a Guernsey agency in 2026 (ballpark), and London agencies with private wealth portfolios tend to start around 15 000 GBP. Kolonell builds the same public website for 2 300, 3 900 or 6 900 GBP, fixed in a written quote, with native English or French copywriting and delivery in 3 to 6 weeks. For a Guernsey firm, the right budget depends less on the agency's postcode than on your firm profile: a quiet single family office and a multi-jurisdiction fiduciary do not need the same site.
How much should a Guernsey firm budget, by profile?
Guernsey's supplier market is small: a few island agencies and freelancers serve the finance sector, and many firms also brief agencies in London or Jersey. The local ranges below are a prudent 2026 ballpark drawn from public agency rate cards, Clutch.co profiles stating minimum project sizes and freelance platform rates. They vary with scope and are not quotes from any named supplier.

What a St Peter Port wealth or fiduciary site needs
Guernsey firms serve UK families, international entrepreneurs and institutions, and often administer structures across several jurisdictions. Visitors arrive through introducers, lawyers and banks, and they check credibility in a few minutes.
- Discretion: no client names, no performance figures, no assets under administration unless already published.
- Licence and governance: the board, directors, key persons and the firm's licensed status. Advertising and financial promotion rules apply depending on the licence held under the Guernsey Financial Services Commission (GFSC) framework, and the compliance officer must validate the content.
- Services in plain language: private client and trust services, family office services, wealth structuring, succession and philanthropy, investment management or advice where licensed. No investment advice and no return figures.
- Data protection: the Bailiwick has its own law, the Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2017, overseen by the Office of the Data Protection Authority. A privacy notice, cookie consent and a secure enquiry form are the minimum.
- Languages: English first. French is useful for families from France and francophone countries and is available from Premium; other languages are supplied by you or quoted separately.
- Bailiwick reach: firms with links to Alderney or Sark can present them on dedicated pages without extra cost within the tier's page allowance.
A single family office that takes no clients may still want a discreet three page site so that banks and counterparties can verify it exists. Any secure client area is a custom application, quoted on request. This is general information, not legal or regulatory advice.
Red flags and a three-year comparison
Before you sign, watch for: a domain held by the agency, a CMS that only the agency can edit, a schedule with no time for compliance review, copy written by someone who has never read a fiduciary licence, and photos of other cities' skylines. Then compare three-year costs on the same basis.
| Line over 3 years | Guernsey agency (illustrative) | Kolonell Growth |
|---|---|---|
| Build | 12 000 GBP | 3 900 GBP |
| Copywriting | Often extra | Included, native English |
| Support included | Varies by contract | 3 months |
| Maintenance after support | Retainer, for example 180 GBP a month | Quoted (assumed 180 GBP a month for comparison) |
| Payment terms | Varies | 50 % at kickoff, 50 % at delivery, bank transfer or Wise |
| Domain ownership | Check the contract | Your name, all access handed over |

Mini case study
Illustrative example, fictitious firm: Helen is managing director of a licensed fiduciary in St Peter Port that publishes a quarterly note for introducers. A Guernsey agency quotes 12 000 GBP plus 180 GBP a month: over three years, 12 000 + (180 x 36) = 18 480 GBP. Kolonell Growth costs 3 900 GBP with 3 months of support; with the same 180 GBP monthly budget assumed for 33 months (5 940 GBP, maintenance being quoted), the total is about 9 840 GBP. The gap of roughly 8 640 GBP pays for professional photography of the team and several years of compliance review time.
