How much does a website cost in Pakistan?
A direct 2026 breakdown of what websites actually cost in Pakistan — by type, complexity, and scope — in honest scope factors, with no surprises.
Price ranges by website type
- Simple one-page business site (bio link)
- PKR 25,000 – 40,000. Covers a small business or personal brand that needs one link for their Instagram bio: a short about section, services list, contact buttons, and WhatsApp CTA. Mobile-first, custom design, domain setup included in guidance.
- Restaurant or food business website
- Custom quote. Full menu with categories and photos, opening hours, Google Maps, WhatsApp ordering button, and optional pre-order section. Price depends on menu size and number of food photos to optimise.
- Salon or beauty brand website
- Custom quote. Services list with prices, portfolio gallery, booking CTAs, hours, and location. Bridal package pages and before-and-after galleries add scope.
- Landing page (campaign or product launch)
- PKR 25,000 – 45,000. Single focused page for a specific offer, campaign, or event. Price depends on number of sections and whether form or WhatsApp flow integration is required.
- E-commerce with WhatsApp ordering
- PKR 45,000 – 80,000. Product catalogue with categories, photos, pricing, and WhatsApp order buttons. Suitable for businesses with up to 100–200 products and moderate order volume.
- Full cart-and-checkout e-commerce store
- PKR 80,000 – 180,000+. Full store with cart, checkout, payment gateway (JazzCash, EasyPaisa, Stripe), order management, and admin panel. Price depends heavily on product count, payment requirements, and custom features.
- Custom web application or software
- PKR 120,000 – 500,000+. Applications with user accounts, databases, dashboards, APIs, or complex business logic. Quoted individually after detailed requirements discussion.
What affects the price
The main factors are: number of distinct pages or sections, whether custom photography or illustration is needed, the number of features (booking, ordering, payment, login), the complexity of the design brief, and the developer’s experience and support quality. A cheap website that needs rebuilding in a year costs more than a proper one built once. Cheap Pakistani web development often means a WordPress template with your name swapped in — not a custom site designed for your brand and audience.
Domain and hosting costs
A .com domain costs PKR 2,000 – 3,500 per year depending on the registrar. A .pk domain is PKR 1,500 – 2,500 per year. Hosting costs vary: static sites on Netlify or Cloudflare Pages can be free; shared hosting (cPanel) runs PKR 3,000 – 8,000/year; cloud hosting for dynamic sites runs PKR 6,000 – 20,000/year. I help you choose the right tier for your actual needs and traffic expectations.
Frequently asked questions
- Why do website prices vary so much in Pakistan?
- Because "website" means everything from a single-page Instagram bio link to a full e-commerce platform with payment integration. A one-page business site and a custom booking system are both "websites" but differ by weeks of work and complexity. Price depends on number of pages, features needed, design complexity, and the developer's experience level.
- Is it better to pay PKR 5,000 for a cheap website?
- Usually not. Very cheap websites (PKR 3,000 to 10,000 range) are typically WordPress templates with your logo swapped in — no custom design, no proper mobile optimisation, and no ongoing support. You often end up rebuilding within a year. A proper custom website built once as a proper custom build lasts years without needing replacement.
- Does the website price include domain and hosting?
- Typically no. A domain costs PKR 2,000 to 3,500 per year depending on the extension (.com, .pk, .net). Hosting costs PKR 3,000 to 12,000 per year depending on the type. I help you choose and set up both, and explain the annual costs clearly before you commit.
- Are there ongoing costs after the website is built?
- Yes: domain renewal (PKR 2,000–3,500/year) and hosting (PKR 3,000–12,000/year). For custom-software sites with databases or server-side logic, server costs apply. For simple static sites hosted on platforms like Netlify or Cloudflare Pages, hosting can be free. I design most business sites to minimise ongoing cost while maintaining reliability.
