Short answer
In 2026, a template website in Pakistan typically costs PKR 25,000–80,000, a custom business website PKR 80,000–250,000, and an e-commerce or content-heavy site PKR 250,000–600,000. Budget PKR 2,500–6,000 a year for a domain, PKR 8,000–25,000 for shared hosting, and 15–25% of the build cost each year for maintenance.
Website quotes in Pakistan range from a few thousand rupees on freelance marketplaces to several lakh from established agencies. This guide explains typical 2026 prices in PKR, the yearly running costs, and how to tell a fair quote from one that will cost you more later.
Typical website prices in Pakistan
According to Ezitech's 2026 breakdown of website development costs in Pakistan, prices usually fall into these ranges:
| Type of website | Typical cost (PKR) |
|---|---|
| Template website | 25,000–80,000 |
| Custom business website | 80,000–250,000 |
| E-commerce or content-heavy site | 250,000–600,000 |
| Custom web application | 600,000–2,000,000+ |
Yearly running costs
The same guide lists these recurring costs:
- Domain: PKR 2,500–6,000 a year.
- Shared hosting: PKR 8,000–25,000 a year. Busier sites on VPS or cloud hosting cost much more.
- SSL certificate: free with most good hosts.
- Maintenance: PKR 30,000–150,000 a year. A sensible rule is to budget 15–25% of the build cost each year to keep the site healthy.
What changes the price
- Template or custom design. A customised template is quicker and cheaper; a design made for your brand takes longer.
- Number of pages and features. Booking forms, product filters, calculators and customer accounts all add time.
- Online payments and delivery. Cash on delivery, card payments, courier integration and WhatsApp order confirmation each need setup and testing.
- Content. Professional copy and product photos are often quoted separately, but they decide whether visitors buy.
- Who builds it. A freelancer, a small studio and a large agency have very different costs and levels of support.
The real cost of a very cheap website
A PKR 15,000 website can be fine for a simple online card, but it often comes with problems that cost more later: slow pages, no SEO setup, a domain registered in someone else's name, or no way to edit the site yourself. Ask these questions before you pay:
- Will the domain and hosting be registered in my name?
- Can I edit text and images myself after launch?
- Is basic SEO included: page titles, descriptions, sitemap and Google Search Console?
- How fast will it load on a phone using mobile data?
- What support do I get after launch, and what does it cost?
WordPress, Shopify or custom?
- WordPress suits most company, school, clinic and service websites, and you can edit it yourself.
- Shopify or WooCommerce suit online stores with many products, cash on delivery and courier integration.
- Custom development makes sense for portals, booking systems and features no template can handle.

Frequently asked questions
Is a PKR 15,000 website worth it?
It can work for a simple online card, but very cheap websites often lack SEO setup, speed and editing access, and the domain may not be in your name. Check what is included before you pay.
Should my website be in Urdu or English?
Most business websites in Pakistan lead in English. Urdu or Roman Urdu content helps when your customers search and buy in those languages, especially for local consumer services.
How long does a website take to build?
A small business website usually takes two to four weeks. Online stores and custom projects take longer, depending on products, features and content.
