The verdict in three sentences
In Eindhoven, a wealth manager's website redesign often starts with an awkward finding: the contact form collects too much data and nobody knows how long it is kept. On Kolonell's fixed grid the redesign costs EUR 4,500 (Growth) or EUR 8,200 (Premium), against a ballpark of EUR 14,000 to 35,000 with a local agency. The most useful work happens on forms, retention and the redirect map, far more than on design.
Which signals announce a redesign?
Between Strijp-S, High Tech Campus and the city centre, the typical client is distinctive: engineers and managers in tech and semiconductors holding employee share plans, international knowledge migrants from across Europe and Asia, and founders after an exit. This audience often arrives in English, on mobile, and compares several firms in one evening.
The most common signals:
- a form asking for net worth, employer or the value of shares held;
- enquiries landing in a shared mailbox with no deletion rule;
- a Dutch-only site, while part of the audience reads English;
- market notes on share plans no longer linked to any service page;
- a privacy notice that no longer matches the tools actually in use.
What may a public enquiry form collect?
This is the core of the redesign. The GDPR (AVG in the Netherlands), supervised by the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, requires among other things data minimisation and a defined retention period. This is not legal advice: your DPO or counsel signs off the final rules.
| Field | In the public form? | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Name and email | yes | needed to reply |
| Preferred language (NL, EN) | yes | useful, low risk |
| Free message | yes, with a note "do not include financial details" | prevents spontaneous disclosure |
| Net worth | no | sensitive, unnecessary at first contact |
| Employer, number of shares | no | gather later, in a meeting |
| Account number, IBAN | never | no legitimate use at this stage |
| ID document | never | belongs to onboarding, not the public site |
On retention, one simple written rule: enquiries that go nowhere are deleted after a period set by your compliance team (often 6 to 12 months), notifications go to a named address rather than a shared inbox, and no form content is stored in the analytics tool.
What does a redesign cost in Eindhoven over three years?
A 2026 ballpark drawn from typical quotes by Brabant agencies. Market maintenance figures are a market assumption; with Kolonell, maintenance after the 3 included months is on quote.
| Option | Redesign | 3-year maintenance (market assumption) | 3-year total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eindhoven agency, custom | EUR 22,000 to 35,000 | EUR 4,500 to 9,000 | EUR 26,500 to 44,000 |
| Eindhoven agency, template | EUR 14,000 to 22,000 | EUR 3,600 to 7,200 | EUR 17,600 to 29,200 |
| Freelancer | EUR 5,000 to 10,000 | EUR 1,800 to 3,600 | EUR 6,800 to 13,600 |
| Kolonell Growth | EUR 4,500 | 3 months included, then on quote | EUR 4,500 + maintenance on quote |
| Kolonell Premium | EUR 8,200 | 3 months included, then on quote | EUR 8,200 + maintenance on quote |
Kolonell Starter, at EUR 2,700, suits a short one-language site. Every tier includes a project manager in your time zone, native English or French copywriting and delivery in 3 to 4 weeks once content is ready. On quote: client portal, advanced custodian links, CRM integration, online booking and search optimisation. Details on the international offer page.
What timeline and which risks?
| Week | Kolonell deliverable | Watch point |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | URL inventory, 301 map, form mapping | list every field and where it goes |
| 1 to 2 | structure, design, NL and EN copy | no promise of returns |
| 2 to 3 | build, migration of notes and regulatory pages | original dates kept |
| 3 | compliance review of every page | written sign-off |
| 4 | go-live, sitemap in Search Console | 404 tracking for 8 weeks |
Other risks: search traffic loss if share plan notes change address without a 301; regulatory pages (legal notices, complaints procedure, status, fee disclosure) becoming hard to find; financial promotion: the AFM supervises advertising by financial firms, so no performance figures, no assets under management, no rankings and no unapproved testimonials; downtime during the DNS switch, scheduled outside business hours.
Questions to ask any provider: where is form data hosted? Who receives notifications? Is a data processing agreement in place?

When is an Eindhoven agency the better fit?
If you want a full digital onboarding journey with identity verification and e-signature, or a client portal linked to your custodian, a local agency able to run those integrations over several months is the better fit. A portal is not rebuilt inside a fixed-price site: with Kolonell it stays on quote.
Mini case study
Illustrative example: Strijp Vermogensbeheer, an independent discretionary portfolio manager of 5 people at Strijp-S. Its current form has 11 fields, including estimated net worth and employer. It receives about 20 enquiries a month.
- New form: 4 fields (name, email, language, message). Over 12 months, that avoids storing 240 records holding a net worth estimate.
- Quote from an Eindhoven agency, template-based: EUR 18,000. Kolonell Premium (the multilingual tier, languages set in the quote: Dutch and English): EUR 8,200.
- Difference: 18,000 minus 8,200, or EUR 9,800, and go-live in 4 weeks instead of 12.
