How Much Does a Business Website Cost in Pakistan? (2026 Guide)

Quick answer: The cost of a business website in Pakistan depends mainly on how many pages it has, whether the design is custom, and what it needs to do (forms, online payments, booking, a dashboard, integrations). A simple brochure site is the cheapest; an online store or custom web application costs the most. As a real example, SG Technologies' packages start at $249 for a 3-page website, $599 for an 8-page custom-designed site and $1,299 for a full web application — always agreed as a fixed, written quote.

"How much will my website cost?" is the first question almost every client asks — and the honest answer is it depends on what the website needs to do. This guide explains exactly what changes the price, so you can compare quotes properly and avoid surprises.

The 7 things that decide the price

1. Number of pages

A one-page landing page or a 3–5 page brochure site (Home, About, Services, Contact) is far less work than a 20-page site with separate service, location and blog pages.

2. Template vs custom design

A ready-made template is quick and cheap but looks like many other sites. A custom design is built around your brand, content and customers — it costs more, but it's what makes a business look established and trustworthy.

3. Features and functionality

This is usually the biggest factor. Each of these adds work:

• Contact and quote forms, WhatsApp chat
• Online booking or reservations
• E-commerce: product catalog, cart, checkout, payments, order tracking
• User accounts and logins
• An admin panel or dashboard
• Integrations — payment gateways, courier APIs, CRMs, FBR digital invoicing

4. Content

Who writes the text and supplies the photos? Professional copywriting, product photos and translated content (for example English and Urdu) add cost — but they also make the biggest difference to how many visitors become customers.

5. SEO and performance

A site that is fast, mobile-friendly and search-engine ready from day one — with proper titles, structured data, a sitemap and pages Google can read — takes more care than a site that only looks good.

6. Technology

WordPress, Shopify and website builders are fine for simpler sites. A custom React / Node.js build is better for fast, secure sites and for anything with custom features, dashboards or integrations.

7. Support after launch

Updates, backups, security monitoring and small changes are ongoing work. Ask whether support is included and for how long.

These are the starting packages listed on our pricing page:

Larger systems — such as an HR and payroll platform or an FBR-integrated invoicing system — are quoted separately after a free consultation, because their scope varies a lot.

Hidden costs to check before you sign

• Domain name — renewed every year.
• Hosting — monthly or yearly; some sites can run on free or low-cost hosting, busy stores and web apps need more.
• Business email — for example a Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 subscription.
• Paid plugins, themes or apps — common with WordPress and Shopify.
• Payment gateway fees — charged per transaction.
• Maintenance — updates, backups and fixes after the support period ends.
• Ownership — make sure the domain, hosting and code are in your name.

How to get an accurate quote

Before you contact any developer, prepare:

1. What the website must achieve — enquiries, bookings, online sales, internal efficiency.
2. The pages and features you need — even a rough list helps.
3. Two or three websites you like, and why.
4. Your content — logo, text, photos, product list.
5. Your timeline and budget range.

A good developer will turn this into a written scope with a fixed price, so you know exactly what you are paying for before work starts.

Red flags when comparing quotes

• A price with no written scope of pages and features.
• No mention of SEO, mobile performance or security.
• The developer keeps the domain, hosting or code in their own name.
• "Unlimited everything" for a very low price.
• No clear answer about support after launch.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a simple business website cost in Pakistan?

A simple 3–5 page brochure website is the most affordable type of site. At SG Technologies, a 3-page website starts at $249 with responsive design, basic SEO and a contact form.

How much does an e-commerce website cost?

An online store costs more than a brochure site because of the product catalog, cart, checkout, payments and order management. The final price depends on the number of products, payment and courier integrations, and admin features.

How long does it take to build a website?

A small website can be ready in about a week; a larger custom-designed site in two to three weeks; and a web application with a dashboard and integrations in about a month or more, depending on scope.

Do I need to pay every year for my website?

Usually you pay yearly for the domain and hosting, and optionally for maintenance. The design and development are normally a one-time cost.

Will I own my website?

You should. With SG Technologies, your domain, hosting accounts, code and data stay in your name.
