Website redesign for a wealth management firm or family office in Naples, Florida: budget, timeline and risks (2026)

The verdict in three sentences

A Naples wealth planning firm can redesign its public website with Kolonell for USD 2,900, 4,900 or 8,900, where local agency quotes along the Gulf Coast typically land between USD 12,000 and 40,000 in 2026. The decision that shapes the budget most is where the public site stops and the client portal begins: login links and a clear "client access" page belong in the fixed price, a portal build or a single sign-on integration does not. Time the launch so that it lands before seasonal residents return, and outside the peak of hurricane season.

Why do Naples wealth firms redesign, and why now?

The client base in Naples is concentrated and specific: retirees who relocated from the Midwest and the Northeast, seasonal residents who spend the winter between Pelican Bay and Port Royal, and owners of family businesses who still run companies up north. Many of them first meet a firm through an accountant, an attorney or a neighbor on Fifth Avenue South, then check the website from a tablet.

Typical triggers for a redesign:

• Clients call the office every week asking where to log in, because the site has three different buttons pointing to two custodians and an old reporting tool.
• The site still describes a retirement practice, while half of new relationships now come from business owners planning a sale or a succession.
• There is no page explaining how the office operates during a hurricane, or the business continuity summary is a scanned PDF from years ago.
• Disclosure documents (Form ADV Part 2, Form CRS where it applies, privacy notice, fee schedule) are not linked from every page.
• Text is small, contrast is weak and buttons are hard to tap, which matters for an older audience and for WCAG 2.1 AA conformance under ADA Title III exposure.

What is in the fixed price, and what stays on quote?

The public site links out; it never stores account data or rebuilds the portal. That boundary keeps the project small, keeps sensitive data where your custodian already protects it, and keeps the price fixed. See the tiers on the international websites page.

How much does the redesign cost in Naples in 2026?

Local ranges are a 2026 ballpark from typical agency quotes in Collier and Lee counties, not from a survey.

All Kolonell tiers include a project manager reachable in Eastern Time, native English copywriting, delivery in 3 to 4 weeks once content is ready and 3 months of support. Hosting and maintenance after that period are on quote.

When should the new site go live?

Work backwards from the season. Many seasonal clients are back by November, and hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30.

Choose hosting outside the region with automatic backups, so a local power outage does not take the site offline when clients most need the continuity page.

Which risks should the plan cover?

• Lost rankings for local searches. Map every old URL to its new address with a 301 redirect, keep the insight URLs that bring traffic, submit the sitemap in Google Search Console and watch coverage reports for four weeks.
• Clients locked out. A login button that points to an outdated custodian URL generates calls on day one. Test each link and keep a single "client access" page that staff can update.
• Disclosures out of reach. ADV, CRS where applicable, privacy notice and fee schedule must stay reachable from every page after go-live.
• Marketing claims. No promise of returns, no performance figures, no rankings or testimonials unless the SEC Marketing Rule conditions or the state rules applicable to your registration are met, after compliance review.
• Over-collecting forms. Name, email, phone and a short message. Never account numbers, custodian details or asset amounts. Florida privacy law is evolving; check your obligations with counsel. This is not legal advice.
• Email changes. If the newsletter tool changes, keep CAN-SPAM opt-out links and import unsubscribes.

What should you ask, and when is a local agency the better fit?

Ask: which login links will you test, and on which devices? Is the client access page editable by my staff? Who delivers the redirect map? What happens if the custodian changes its URL during the 3 months of support? Who owns the domain and hosting?

A Naples agency is the better choice if you want in-person workshops every month, client event materials and print, video filmed in your office, or a partner who also handles your seasonal client events. A remote fixed-price team suits firms that prefer a written plan and video calls.

Mini case study

Illustrative example: Laura Brennan is managing partner of a fictional independent wealth planning firm on Fifth Avenue South that serves owners of family businesses, many of them seasonal residents from Ohio and Michigan. In season, staff field about 6 "where do I log in" calls a week, at roughly 10 minutes each.

• Kolonell Growth with a client access page: USD 4,900
• Portal single sign-on: deferred, on quote later
• Time lost today in season: 6 x 10 minutes = 1 hour a week, over 26 weeks at USD 55 an hour = USD 1,430 a season

A local agency proposed USD 34,000 including a portal integration Laura did not need yet. By keeping the portal out of scope and fixing the links, the firm spends USD 4,900, removes most of the login calls and keeps the option to scope single sign-on once the custodian setup is stable.

FAQ

What does a wealth website redesign cost in Naples, Florida?

Kolonell charges USD 2,900 (Starter), USD 4,900 (Growth) or USD 8,900 (Premium). Local agencies typically quote USD 12,000 to 40,000 depending on scope.

Is our client portal rebuilt in the redesign?

No. The new site links to your existing portal and custodian logins from a dedicated client access page; any portal or single sign-on work is quoted separately.

When is the best time to launch?

Aim for September or October, before most seasonal clients return and after the most active weeks of hurricane season. The build takes 3 to 4 weeks once content is ready, so start the audit about 10 weeks ahead.

Should the site have a hurricane season page?

Yes, a short business continuity page tells clients how to reach the firm and their accounts during an outage. It is included in all three tiers.

Will our Google rankings drop?

Not if all old URLs are redirected with 301s and monitored in Search Console. Expect some movement for 2 to 6 weeks.
