What affects the price of a website
- Number of pages. A landing page costs less than a ten-page site.
- Design. A ready-made layout is cheaper than a design made for your brand.
- Features. Online booking, an online store and M-Pesa payments add work.
- Content. Writing, photos and logos cost extra if you do not have them.
- SEO setup. Page titles, descriptions, a sitemap and Google tools take time to do properly.

FAQs
How much does a website cost in Kenya?
Many Kenyan providers quote around KES 25,000 to 50,000 for a small business website, and more for online stores and corporate sites. Our starting prices are KES 15,000 for a landing page, KES 30,000 for a starter website, KES 60,000 for a business website and KES 90,000 for an online store.
Is a cheap template website good enough?
It can be, if your needs are simple. Check that it works well on phones, loads quickly, has a clear way to contact you and includes basic SEO. A very low price often leaves out content, SEO setup or support.
Do I pay every year after the website is built?
Usually yes for your domain name and hosting. Updates, security and support are also ongoing costs. Ask for these costs in writing before you start.
Can I pay for a website in instalments?
With us you can pay by M-Pesa or bank transfer, and projects can be split into milestones.
