The verdict in three sentences
For a cybersecurity firm in Miami, the website is often the first security review a CISO runs on you: a dated design, vague certifications or a slow, unpatched stack quietly remove you from a shortlist. A redesign costs roughly USD 15,000 to 40,000 with a Miami boutique agency in 2026, while Kolonell works on a fixed grid of USD 2,900 (Starter), 4,900 (Growth) and 8,900 (Premium), delivered in 3 to 4 weeks (4 to 6 for Premium) once content is ready. The real risks are lost search traffic, unreviewed claims and accessibility gaps, and each of them can be contained with a short checklist before launch.
Signs your current site is costing you contracts
Security buyers read a vendor's site the way they read a pentest report: they look for precision and for anything that does not add up. The warning signs we see most often on cybersecurity sites in South Florida:
- Services described as "holistic cyber resilience" with no page for penetration testing, managed SOC, incident response or compliance work.
- Certifications shown as logos without detail: which CREST accreditation, which ISO 27001 scope, which individual credentials (OSCP, CISSP) the team actually holds.
- No visible incident hotline, or a hotline with no stated hours and no response time.
- A site that fails basic checks a buyer can run in a minute: mixed content warnings, outdated CMS version in the source, missing security headers.
- A Spanish speaking market served by an English only site, in a city where many decision makers at Latin American headquarters work in Spanish.
- Client logos used without a written agreement, which a careful CISO will notice and a client may object to.
If three or more apply, the question is no longer whether to redesign, but how to do it without losing what already works.
What a redesign costs in Miami in 2026
Miami prices sit between New York rates and those of smaller Florida markets. The figures below are a 2026 ballpark from typical agency quotes and public rate pages, for a B2B services site of 15 to 30 pages. Kolonell figures are our fixed grid, not estimates.
| Option | 2026 range (USD) | What is usually included | Typical timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freelance designer and developer | 3,000 to 10,000 | Design and build, copy supplied by you | 4 to 10 weeks |
| Miami boutique agency | 15,000 to 40,000 | Strategy, design, build, some copywriting | 8 to 14 weeks |
| Larger B2B or tech agency, Miami | 40,000 to 120,000 | Brand work, content, integrations, workshops | 3 to 6 months |
| Kolonell Starter | 2,900 | Focused site, native English copywriting, 3 months of support | 3 to 4 weeks |
| Kolonell Growth | 4,900 | Fuller service architecture, one page per service, 3 months of support | 3 to 4 weeks |
| Kolonell Premium | 8,900 | Multilingual tier, languages set in the quote | 4 to 6 weeks |
| Maintenance after launch | 150 to 600 per month (market assumption) | Updates, backups, monitoring | Ongoing |
Every Kolonell tier includes a project manager reachable in your time zone, native English copywriting and 3 months of support. Client portals, gated resource areas, CRM or ticketing integrations are on quote, as is maintenance after the 3 included months. The details are on our international offer page.
Timeline by phase, once content is ready
| Phase | Kolonell (Starter or Growth) | Typical Miami agency |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery, URL inventory, page plan | Week 1 | Weeks 1 to 3 |
| Copywriting and service pages | Weeks 1 to 2 | Weeks 3 to 6 |
| Design and build | Weeks 2 to 3 | Weeks 5 to 10 |
| Compliance and claims review by your team | Week 3 | Weeks 9 to 11 |
| Redirects, testing, accessibility checks | Week 4 | Weeks 11 to 12 |
| Launch and monitoring | End of week 4 | Week 12 or later |
The phrase "once content is ready" matters. For a security firm, the slowest step is usually internal: getting partners to approve how services, certifications and response times are described.
Risks and how to contain them
| Risk | What can go wrong | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
| Search traffic loss | Old URLs return 404 and rankings built over years drop | Full URL inventory, a 301 redirect map, Search Console checks in the weeks after launch |
| Content migration | Advisories, case studies and whitepapers get lost or broken | Content audit first, keep or merge decisions made page by page |
| Unreviewed claims | A lapsed accreditation or an unapproved client logo goes live | Written sign-off by the partner in charge of compliance before launch |
| Accessibility | ADA Title III demand letters are frequent in Florida | Target WCAG 2.1 or 2.2 AA, test forms and navigation with a keyboard and a screen reader |
| Privacy and email | Forms collect personal data, newsletters fall under CAN-SPAM | Clear privacy notice, consent wording reviewed by counsel, unsubscribe in every email |
| Downtime | DNS change during business hours cuts the hotline page | Launch in a quiet window, keep the old site ready to restore |
The United States has no single federal privacy law, and state rules vary, so the privacy notice is a job for your counsel. This is not legal advice.
Questions to ask, and when a local agency is the better choice
Before signing with anyone, ask: who writes the service pages and how much security knowledge they have; how redirects are mapped and checked; which accessibility standard is targeted and how it is tested; who owns the hosting accounts and the code; what happens after the support period.
Need a professional website?

A Miami agency is the better choice if you need in-person workshops with several partners, a full rebrand with naming and visual identity, or a large integration program with your SOC tooling from day one. If your priority is a precise, credible site delivered in weeks at a fixed price, a remote studio with a reachable project manager is a reasonable alternative.
Mini case study
Illustrative example: "Biscayne Sentinel" is a fictional 25 person managed security provider in Miami. Its current site has one services page and no Spanish version.
- Local quote received: USD 34,000, 12 weeks.
- Alternative: Kolonell Growth at USD 4,900 in 4 weeks, with a gated client resource area added on quote.
- Difference on the site itself: 34,000 minus 4,900, so USD 29,100.
- Business test: one pentest engagement at USD 18,000 would cover the Growth redesign about 3.7 times.
The firm could also choose Premium at USD 8,900 to add Spanish, with the language scope written into the quote.
FAQ
How much does a cybersecurity website redesign cost in Miami in 2026?
Expect USD 15,000 to 40,000 with a boutique agency and more with larger firms. Kolonell's fixed grid is USD 2,900, 4,900 or 8,900, with portals and integrations on quote.
Will we lose our Google rankings?
Some movement is normal for a few weeks, but a complete 301 map and Search Console monitoring limit the loss. No serious provider promises a ranking after a redesign.
Should a Miami security firm have a Spanish site?
If you sell to Latin American headquarters or local family groups, often yes. Kolonell Premium at USD 8,900 is the multilingual tier, with languages set in the quote.
How long does it take?
3 to 4 weeks for Starter or Growth and 4 to 6 weeks for Premium, once content is ready. Internal approval of claims is usually the longest step.
Can we show client logos and incident stories?
Only with written consent from each client, and incidents are best described in general terms. Many firms rely on certifications, team credentials and published research instead.
