Website Cost in Pakistan (2026): Prices, Packages and What You Actually Pay For

How much does a website cost in Pakistan?

The short answer: A simple landing page can start from around PKR 15,000, a small business website from around PKR 25,000, and a Shopify online store from around PKR 50,000. Larger sites with more pages, custom features and SEO work cost more.

Website prices in Pakistan range widely, which is why so many business owners find it hard to compare quotes. One agency quotes a low price and another quotes several times more for what looks like the same thing. The difference is usually in what is included: design quality, speed, mobile experience, SEO setup, content and support after launch.

This guide explains what each type of website costs, what changes the price, which extra costs people forget, and how to get a fair quote. The prices below are WebForge's published starting rates, so you can see real numbers instead of “contact us for a quote”.

These are starting rates. The final cost depends on your scope, and a good agency will confirm it in writing before work begins.

One-page website cost

A one-page website, usually called a landing page, is built around a single action: book an appointment, place an order or fill in a form. It is the cheapest option and works well for ad campaigns and WhatsApp traffic. At WebForge, landing pages start from PKR 15,000.

Business website cost

A business website has several pages, such as Home, About, Services, Contact and sometimes a blog. This is the right choice for clinics, schools, restaurants, offices and service businesses. A Starter site with up to 5 pages starts from PKR 25,000. A fuller Business site with up to 12 pages, blog setup, Google Business Profile setup and full on-page SEO starts from PKR 55,000.

E-commerce website cost

An online store costs more than a normal website because it needs product management, a checkout, payment options and delivery handling. At WebForge, a Shopify Starter store costs PKR 50,000 and includes theme setup for your brand, up to 20 products uploaded for you, cash on delivery with a local payment gateway, a mobile-optimised checkout, and analytics with conversion tracking. A full custom Shopify store starts from PKR 95,000.

Website redesign cost

If you already have a site that looks old, loads slowly or does not work well on phones, a redesign is often cheaper than starting again. Redesigns start from PKR 35,000.

What affects the cost of a website?

Two websites can look similar and still cost very different amounts. These are the main factors.

Number of pages

More pages mean more design, content and testing time.

Design

A custom design built around your brand costs more than a ready-made template.

Content

If you need copywriting, photos or product uploads, the project takes longer.

Features

Booking forms, WhatsApp integration, online ordering, multi-currency checkout and similar features add work.

Payment and delivery setup

Cash on delivery, local payment gateways and shipping rules need careful setup on e-commerce sites.

SEO

Proper on-page SEO, speed optimization and Google Business Profile setup take extra time, but they decide whether customers can find you.

Speed to launch

Urgent projects can cost more because other work has to be moved.

WordPress vs Shopify: which costs more?

Both platforms can be built at a reasonable price in Pakistan, but the ongoing costs are different.

WordPress

WordPress (including WooCommerce for stores) is flexible and has no monthly platform fee, but you pay separately for hosting, security, updates and plugins. It suits business websites, blogs and content-heavy sites.

Shopify

Shopify charges a monthly subscription to Shopify itself, and some apps and themes cost extra. In return, hosting, security and checkout are handled for you, so it is easier to run. It is a strong choice if your main goal is selling products. On Shopify's Pakistan pricing page, the Basic plan is USD 22 per month when paid yearly, Grow is USD 58 and Advanced is USD 359. Plans change often, so check the page before you budget.

A simple rule: if you mainly need a professional business website, WordPress or a custom build is usually enough. If you sell products and want a smooth checkout, Shopify is usually the better fit.

Domain and hosting price in Pakistan

Every website needs a domain name (like yourbusiness.pk) and hosting (the server where your site lives). Both are yearly costs.

  • Domain: .pk and .com domains are renewed every year. .com is better known internationally, while .pk signals a local business. PKNIC, the official .pk registry, charges Pakistan-based registrants Rs. 2,100 per year, billed for a minimum of two years (Rs. 4,200 upfront), and $15.99 per year for registrants outside Pakistan. Resellers set their own prices, and .com prices vary by registrar, so check the final price before you pay.
  • Hosting: Cheap shared hosting costs less but is slower. Better hosting costs more, and a fast site keeps visitors from leaving.

Always check who owns the domain. Make sure it is registered in your business name, not the agency's, so you can move it later if you need to.

Hidden costs to ask about

A low quote can become expensive if these are not discussed up front.

  • Yearly domain and hosting renewal
  • Premium themes, plugins or Shopify apps
  • Content writing, product photography and logo design
  • Payment gateway fees
  • Monthly maintenance, updates, security and backups
  • Changes after launch
  • Marketing costs such as Google Ads or Facebook and Instagram Ads

A maintenance plan is worth budgeting for. At WebForge, the Care Plan costs PKR 5,000 per month, or PKR 50,000 a year with two months free, and includes security updates, monthly offsite backups, uptime monitoring, up to 2 hours of small edits and a monthly performance report.

Is a cheap website worth it?

Sometimes, but be careful. A very cheap website often means a reused template, slow loading, poor mobile design, no SEO setup and no support. If the site does not bring enquiries, the money is wasted even if the price was low.

A better way to think about it is cost per customer. A PKR 25,000 site that brings you steady enquiries is cheaper than a PKR 8,000 site that brings none.

How to get a fair website quote

  1. Write down what you need: List the pages, features and any online selling or booking requirements.
  2. Ask for a written scope: It should list pages, features, revisions and timeline.
  3. Ask what is not included: Hosting, content and SEO are common gaps.
  4. Check recent work: Look at live projects, not only screenshots.
  5. Test them on mobile: Open the sites on your phone and see how fast they load.
  6. Ask about support: Find out who fixes problems after launch and how quickly they reply.
  7. Compare similar things: Only when two quotes include the same information are they comparable.

Red flags include no written scope, no portfolio, pressure to pay everything up front, and refusing to give you control of your domain.
