"How much does a website cost?" is one of the hardest questions to answer honestly, because the real answer is: it depends entirely on what you're building. Here's a realistic breakdown.
Simple Brochure Sites
A basic 5-page business website — home, about, services, contact, and one more — is the entry point. Our sister studio Elite Designs prices their Starter Site tier at KES 45,000–65,000 for exactly this kind of build.
Growth-Stage Business Sites
Up to 15 pages with a content management system, advanced SEO, and social integration typically sits in the KES 70,000–120,000 range — this is the most popular tier for growing businesses that need more than a brochure but aren't yet running e-commerce.
E-commerce Stores
A full online store with unlimited products, M-Pesa payment integration, and inventory management costs more — typically KES 130,000–250,000 — reflecting the added complexity of checkout, payments, and product management.
Custom Platforms
Fully custom web applications, unique integrations, or platforms beyond a standard website start from KES 250,000 and are scoped individually based on complexity.
What Actually Drives the Price
- Number of pages and complexity of design
- Whether it's e-commerce (payment integration, product catalogue)
- Custom functionality vs standard features
- Ongoing support/maintenance included
