If you run a business in Lahore or anywhere in Pakistan, one of the first questions you will ask before getting a website is simple: how much does a website cost in Pakistan? The honest answer is that prices range from around PKR 25,000 to well over PKR 300,000, depending on what you need. This guide explains the typical market prices in 2026, what you get at each level, and how to avoid paying for things your business does not need.
Quick answer: typical website prices in Pakistan (2026)
| Type of website | Typical price range (PKR) | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Basic business website (3–5 pages) | 25,000 – 50,000 | Clinics, shops, consultants, local services |
| Professional business website (6–15 pages) | 50,000 – 150,000 | Growing companies, real estate agencies, schools |
| E-commerce / online store | 100,000 – 300,000+ | Brands selling products online |
| Large custom website | 300,000+ | Corporate sites, portals, custom features |
These are typical ranges based on published prices from Pakistani web companies and hosting providers. Prices vary between agencies and freelancers, so always compare what is included, not only the price.
Yearly costs you should plan for
The build is a one-time cost, but every website also has small yearly costs:
- Domain name (for example yourbusiness.com or .pk): around PKR 1,800 – 2,500 per year
- Hosting (where your website lives): around PKR 3,500 – 10,000 per year for a normal business site
- Maintenance and updates (security, backups, small changes): around PKR 5,000 – 15,000 per month if you want someone to look after it
Tip: make sure the domain and hosting are registered in your name. If an agency or freelancer owns them, you can lose your website if you stop working with them.
What affects the price of a website?
- Number of pages. A simple 5-page site (Home, About, Services, Gallery, Contact) costs much less than a 20-page site.
- Custom design vs template. A good WordPress theme customised for your brand is affordable. A fully custom design from scratch costs more.
- Online store features. Product pages, cart, payment gateway (JazzCash, Easypaisa, cards) and delivery options add cost.
- Content and photos. If the agency writes your text and edits your photos, expect to pay more, but the result is usually much better.
- SEO setup. A website that is set up properly for Google (page titles, speed, mobile, Google Business Profile link) brings far more enquiries than one that just looks nice.
What a good business website should include
Whatever your budget, do not pay for a website that is missing these basics:
- Works perfectly on mobile phones (most of your customers will visit on a phone)
- A WhatsApp button and click-to-call phone number on every page
- Clear services and prices or a “get a quote” form
- Your address, Google Map and opening hours
- Fast loading speed
- Basic on-page SEO, so you can appear on Google for searches like “dentist in Bahria Orchard” or “property dealer in Lahore”
- Your own domain and an email address like info@yourbusiness.com
Cheap website vs good website: which one is better value?
A PKR 15,000 website can look fine on day one, but if nobody finds it on Google and visitors cannot contact you easily, it will not bring a single customer. A slightly higher budget for a website that is found on Google and built to get enquiries usually pays for itself with one or two new customers.
Ask any website designer three questions before you pay:
- Will the domain and hosting be in my name?
- Will the website be set up for Google (SEO) and linked to my Google Business Profile?
- What happens if I need changes after the website is finished?
How long does it take to build a website?
A basic business website usually takes 1 – 2 weeks once you share your logo, text and photos. A larger website or online store can take 3 – 6 weeks. Delays usually happen when content (text and pictures) is not ready, so prepare these early.
FAQs about website design cost in Pakistan
Click a question to see the answer.
What is the difference between website design and website development cost?
Design is how the website looks and how pages are laid out. Development is building it so it works: pages, forms, speed, security and features like online payments. Most agencies in Pakistan quote both together, so ask for a breakdown to see what you are paying for.
Do I have to pay every year for my website?
Usually yes. Your domain name and hosting renew every year, as explained in the yearly costs section above. Maintenance, updates and backups may be an extra yearly or monthly cost, so ask about them before you sign.
Is WordPress good for a small business website in Pakistan?
For most small businesses, yes. It is easy to update, many developers in Pakistan know it, and it works well for SEO. It does need regular updates and basic security. Read our guide on SEO services in Lahore to see how a website and SEO work together.
Do I need a website if I already have a Facebook page?
A Facebook page is useful, but you do not control it and it does little for Google searches. A website plus a Google Business Profile helps people find you on Google and trust you more. See our guides on getting on Google Maps and social media management cost.
