Quick answer: In 2026, a small business website in Pakistan usually costs PKR 25,000 to 100,000 to build, an online store PKR 80,000 to 350,000, and custom web apps start around PKR 300,000. On top of that, budget yearly for your domain and hosting, or skip the big upfront fee with a monthly done-for-you plan.
Ask five web developers in Karachi or Lahore for a quote and you'll get five very different numbers. That's normal: a website isn't one product. A 5-page site for a tailor and an online store with 300 products and COD are completely different jobs.
This guide gives you real 2026 price ranges from published Pakistani sources, shows the costs that come after launch, and works out what you'll pay over one year and three years. That's the comparison most quotes leave out.
How much does a website cost by type?
Here's what Pakistani agencies and developers publish for 2026:
| Website type | Typical build cost (PKR) | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Single page / landing page | 15,000 – 35,000 | Ad campaigns, one service |
| Small business website (4–8 pages) | 25,000 – 100,000 | Shops, clinics, salons, service businesses |
| Professional WordPress website | 60,000 – 250,000 | Growing SMEs, corporate presence |
| E-commerce store | 80,000 – 350,000 | Online sellers with a product catalogue |
| Custom web application | 300,000+ | Portals, booking systems, internal tools |

Agencies that publish fixed packages fall inside these ranges. FMEOS lists a 1–3 page Starter at PKR 49,000, a 1–5 page Pro at PKR 110,000 and a 1–20 page Premium at PKR 280,000. Ranglerz lists e-commerce packages from Rs. 225,000. Both were checked in October 2026.
What do freelancers, agencies, builders and done-for-you plans cost?
How you buy matters as much as what you buy. There are four common ways to get a website in Pakistan:
| Option | How you pay | What you get | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freelancer | One-time fee, usually at the low end of the ranges above | A site built to your brief | Support after launch, delays, and whether you get your logins |
| Agency / software house | One-time fee, often 50–100% upfront | Design, project management, testing | Hosting and changes often billed separately after launch |
| DIY website builder | Monthly subscription, often in dollars | Templates you set up yourself | Your time, card payments, and limited local payment options |
| Done-for-you subscription | Small setup fee plus a monthly fee | Site built, hosted and managed for you | Contract length, cancellation and ownership terms |
Payment terms vary widely. Ranglerz says 60% upfront and 40% on completion is standard for e-commerce builds, and FMEOS asks for 100% upfront on its Starter package.
What costs come after your website is built?
The build fee is only part of the bill. Ask about these before you sign:

What will you really pay in year one and year three?
This is the part most quotes skip. Here's a worked example for a small business website, using the published prices above.
Option A: one-time agency build
FMEOS Starter, PKR 49,000, with the domain included in year one:
Option B: done-for-you monthly plan
MatjarX Launch, PKR 22,500 setup + PKR 4,500/month, with hosting, domain, SSL and 1 business email inbox included:
What the numbers mean
On paper, a one-time build is cheaper over three years if you're happy to handle hosting renewals, updates and fixes yourself. A monthly plan makes sense when you want it built fast without a big upfront payment, and want hosting, security and platform updates looked after while you edit your own content with an easy editor. If you'd rather have a team make every change for you, that's what higher plans like Boost are for. If a developer quotes you a monthly maintenance fee, add it to Option A and compare again.
Why do quotes for the same website vary so much?
How do you get an honest website quote?
Send every developer the same brief, then compare the answers:
- What type of site do I need (information, store or custom), and how many pages or products?
- Is hosting included? For how long, and what's the renewal price?
- Who registers the domain, and is it in my name?
- How many revision rounds are included?
- What does support cost after launch, and what counts as a "change"?
- When is the site live, and what do you need from me?
- If I leave, do I get my files and help moving the site?
A developer who asks you questions before quoting is usually giving you a more accurate number than one who quotes instantly.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a 1-page website cost in Pakistan?
A single-page website or landing page usually costs PKR 15,000–35,000 to build, plus yearly domain and hosting.
What is the cheapest way to get a website in Pakistan?
A template-based single page from a freelancer is usually the lowest upfront cost. Free website builders exist, but they typically show the builder's branding and don't give you your own domain, which costs you trust with customers.
Does the website price include hosting and domain?
It depends on the provider. Some include the first year, some bill separately, and done-for-you plans usually include both while you're subscribed. Always ask what happens at renewal.
How much does an e-commerce website cost in Pakistan?
Published 2026 ranges run from about PKR 80,000 to 350,000 for most small and mid-sized stores. Larger custom or multi-vendor stores cost more.
How long does it take to build a website?
Simple template sites can be ready within days to a few weeks. Custom and e-commerce projects take longer. MatjarX's Launch plan goes live in 7 business days.
