Ask five developers in Pakistan what a website costs and you will get five answers — from PKR 10,000 on a freelance marketplace to several lakh from a software house. Both can be "right". The price depends on what you are actually buying: a template with your logo on it, or a custom-built sales tool engineered around your business.
This guide breaks down typical 2026 price ranges in Pakistani rupees, based on published price lists from Pakistani agencies and common freelancer rates, and explains what you get at each level.
Website development cost in Pakistan at a glance
| Type of website | Typical price (PKR) | Typical timeline | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single landing page | 15,000 – 50,000 | 3–7 days | Ad campaigns, product launches, lead generation |
| Basic business website (5–6 pages) | 35,000 – 60,000 | 1–3 weeks | Small businesses, clinics, consultants |
| Corporate / advanced business site | 60,000 – 120,000 | 3–6 weeks | Companies needing custom design, blogs, integrations |
| E-commerce store (Shopify / WooCommerce) | 80,000 – 200,000 | 3–6 weeks | Brands selling online |
| Custom / complex systems | 150,000 – 500,000+ | 6+ weeks | Portals, marketplaces, booking systems, SaaS |
What actually drives the price?
1. Template vs custom design
The single biggest factor. A premium theme customised with your colours and content is quick and cheap. A custom design starts in a design tool like Figma, is built around your customer journey and costs more — but it converts better and does not look like thousands of other sites.
2. Number of pages and amount of content
Every page needs layout, copy, images and testing. A 5-page site and a 25-page site are very different projects. If you need the agency to write the content as well, budget extra — good copywriting is often the most underestimated part of a website.
3. Features and integrations
Forms are simple. Booking systems, WhatsApp chat, CRM integration, multi-language content, user accounts, payment gateways and custom calculators each add development time.
4. E-commerce complexity
The number of products, variations (size, colour), payment and courier integrations, and features like abandoned-cart emails all affect cost. Uploading 500 products is real work.
5. SEO and speed
A site that is technically sound for Google — fast loading, correct headings, schema markup, a sitemap, clean URLs — takes more care to build. It is cheaper to build it right than to fix it later.
6. Who builds it
A beginner freelancer, an experienced freelancer, a local agency and an international agency will quote very differently for the same brief.
Freelancer vs agency: what's the difference?
| Freelancer | Agency | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Lower | Higher |
| Skills covered | Usually one person (design or development) | Design, development, SEO, copy, QA |
| Speed & availability | Depends on one person's schedule | A team, so less risk of delays |
| Support after launch | Varies a lot | Usually included for a period |
| Best for | Simple sites with a clear brief | Business-critical sites, e-commerce, integrations |
Pakistani developers commonly charge somewhere between PKR 1,000 and 8,000 per hour, with experienced full-stack developers at the upper end.
WordPress website price in Pakistan
WordPress powers a huge share of business websites because your team can edit content without a developer. A WordPress business website typically falls in the PKR 35,000 – 120,000 range depending on design and features. Watch for:
- Premium theme and plugin licences — some renew yearly.
- Page builders — convenient, but heavy builders can slow your site down.
- Security and updates — WordPress needs regular updates and backups.
E-commerce website price in Pakistan
An online store usually costs PKR 80,000 – 200,000 for a well-built Shopify or WooCommerce store, more for custom systems. The main decision is the platform:
- Shopify — monthly subscription, very reliable, fast to launch, less maintenance.
- WooCommerce (WordPress) — no platform subscription, more flexible, but you manage hosting, speed and security.
Either way, budget for payment gateway setup, courier integration, product photography and product uploads.
Yearly costs after launch
| Cost | Typical range (PKR / year) |
|---|---|
| .com domain | ~3,000 – 5,000 |
| .pk domain | ~2,500 – 3,500 |
| Shared hosting | ~8,000 – 15,000 |
| Business hosting | ~15,000 – 25,000 |
| Maintenance (updates, backups, fixes) | ~12,000 – 30,000+ |
SSL certificates are usually free with modern hosting. Shopify stores pay a monthly platform fee instead of separate hosting.
Hidden costs to watch out for
- Domain ownership. Make sure the domain is registered in your name and account — not the developer's.
- Revisions. Ask how many revision rounds are included before extra charges start.
- Content and images. Copywriting, stock photos and product photography are often excluded.
- Licences. Premium themes, plugins and fonts can carry yearly fees.
- Support. Clarify what happens if something breaks a month after launch.
How to get an accurate quote
Send every provider the same short brief so their quotes are comparable:
- What the website must achieve (leads, sales, bookings, credibility).
- A list of pages you need.
- Must-have features (forms, WhatsApp, booking, payments, CRM).
- Who will write the content.
- 2–3 websites you like and why.
- Your deadline and budget range.
Then ask each provider for: a written scope, number of revisions, timeline, what support is included, and who owns the code and accounts at the end.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a basic website cost in Pakistan?
A basic 5–6 page business website typically costs around PKR 35,000 – 60,000 from Pakistani agencies, plus yearly domain and hosting fees.
Why do website prices in Pakistan vary so much?
Because the work is very different: a customised template takes days, while a custom design with integrations and SEO takes weeks of skilled work. Experience level and support also affect price.
How long does it take to build a website?
A landing page can take under a week. A small business site usually takes 1–3 weeks, and an e-commerce store 3–6 weeks, depending on content readiness and revisions.
Do I have to pay every year for my website?
Yes — domain and hosting renew yearly (or monthly for Shopify). Maintenance such as updates and backups is also an ongoing cost.
Is WordPress or Shopify better for an online store in Pakistan?
Shopify is simpler and more reliable to run, with a monthly fee. WooCommerce has no platform subscription and is more flexible, but needs more hands-on maintenance.
