The verdict in three sentences
For an independent wealth management firm in Dublin with EUR 25 M under advice, a serious website redesign costs EUR 8,000 to 20,000 ex VAT in 2026, plus EUR 2,000 to 6,000 if you add financial calculators. The budget pays off as soon as the site generates 2 to 3 qualified meetings a month with business owners or professionals. Central Bank of Ireland, Consumer Protection Code and GDPR requirements belong in the specification from day one, because fixing them after launch often costs twice as much.
What a wealth management website redesign costs in Dublin in 2026
A wealth management firm does not sell a product, it sells trust. The site must reassure a company director in Sandyford or a consultant at a Dublin hospital in under 30 seconds: who you are, your regulatory status, your method, your fees. Here is a typical 2026 budget breakdown (order of magnitude, excluding calculators).
| Item | 2026 range (EUR ex VAT) | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Strategy, sitemap and content | 1,500 - 4,000 | Personas: director, professional, business seller |
| Custom design | 2,000 - 5,000 | Premium identity, real photos of the firm |
| Development and CMS | 3,000 - 7,000 | Expertise pages, blog, online booking |
| Regulatory disclosures and GDPR | 500 - 1,500 | Authorisation status, ombudsman, cookies |
| Local SEO Dublin and Leinster | 1,000 - 2,500 | Google profile, Dublin, Cork, Galway pages |
| Typical total | 8,000 - 20,000 | 8 to 12 week timeline |
The low end is a 10 to 12 page site on an adapted premium theme. The high end is a fully custom design with an expert content hub (director pensions, Capital Acquisitions Tax, PRSAs) updated monthly. Then allow EUR 80 to 250 ex VAT per month for hosting, maintenance and security updates.
Regulatory disclosures: what the site must display
A wealth management website is a marketing communication under the Consumer Protection Code. During a review by the Central Bank of Ireland it can be examined like any brochure. The following items must be visible and current.
| Requirement | Where to display it | Risk if missing |
|---|---|---|
| Regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland statement | Footer and legal page | Finding during supervisory review |
| Authorisation type (investment and insurance intermediary) | Legal page | Misleading status for clients |
| Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman details | Legal page and contact page | Consumer protection breach |
| Warning on capital loss and past performance | Product pages and calculators | Communication judged unbalanced |
| Terms of business document to download | About the firm page | Missing pre-contract information |
| Cookie banner and privacy policy | Whole site | Data Protection Commission fine up to 4 % of turnover |
| EU hosting of calculator data | Hosting contract | Unregulated transfer outside the EU |
Plan a review by your compliance officer before launch: half a day of work avoids republishing entire pages.
Calculators: the lever that turns a visitor into a meeting
Calculators are the most profitable investment on a wealth management site, provided they clearly state the assumptions (2026 tax bands, retirement age, assumed return) and offer a detailed PDF report in exchange for an email address.
| Calculator | 2026 cost (EUR ex VAT) | Visitor to contact conversion (estimate) | Main target |
|---|---|---|---|
| Income tax and marginal rate | 1,000 - 2,000 | 3 to 5 % | Professionals |
| Retirement and pension contributions | 1,500 - 2,500 | 4 to 6 % | Directors aged 45 to 60 |
| Inheritance and gift tax (CAT) | 1,500 - 2,500 | 5 to 8 % | Business sellers, families |
| Monthly savings capacity | 800 - 1,500 | 2 to 4 % | Young professionals |
| Pension vs investment comparison | 1,200 - 2,000 | 3 to 5 % | Senior managers |
A standard page usually converts around 1 %. Two well chosen calculators (retirement and inheritance for a client base of directors) are enough in year one. The rules must be updated after every Budget: allow EUR 300 to 600 ex VAT per year to maintain the calculation logic.

Kolonell builds websites that attract clients, optimized for the Sénégalese market. Free quote in 2 minutes.
Siobhan, an independent financial adviser in Dublin, advises on EUR 25 M for 140 families. Her income (fees and trail commission) is about 1 % of assets per year. A new director client brings on average EUR 300,000, or about EUR 3,000 of recurring annual revenue.
She invests EUR 14,000 ex VAT in the redesign and EUR 3,500 in two calculators (retirement and inheritance), a total of EUR 17,500. If the site brings one new client every two months, she signs 6 clients in year one, worth EUR 18,000 of additional annual revenue. The investment is covered in about twelve months, then every client keeps paying in later years. This calculation is illustrative: it depends on your meeting to client conversion rate.
FAQ
How much does a wealth management website redesign cost in Dublin in 2026?
Allow EUR 8,000 to 20,000 ex VAT depending on customisation and content volume. Calculators add EUR 2,000 to 6,000, maintenance EUR 80 to 250 per month.
How long until launch?
Between 8 and 12 weeks, including 2 to 3 weeks for content and compliance review. Delays mostly come from copy that is not approved on time.
Must the regulatory statement appear on every page?
The footer is the safest practice, with full details on the legal page. Also state your authorisation type and the ombudsman contact details.
Does a tax calculator create liability?
It must be presented as an estimate, with assumptions and the date of the tax bands displayed. A clear warning and an annual update, for EUR 300 to 600 ex VAT, greatly limit the risk.
Does a wealth management firm need a blog?
Two expert articles a month on director pensions or succession are enough to rank on Google in Dublin. Allow 6 to 12 months for meaningful organic traffic.
