Short answer
In 2026, a basic website in Saudi Arabia typically costs SAR 3,000–8,000, a custom company website SAR 8,000–25,000 and an e-commerce store SAR 12,000–50,000. On top of design, budget about SAR 99 a year for a .sa domain, plus hosting, email and maintenance. Arabic and English versions, payment gateways and custom features push the price up.
If you are planning a website for a business in Riyadh, Jeddah or anywhere in the Kingdom, quotes can range from a few thousand riyals to well over fifty thousand. This guide explains typical 2026 prices in Saudi riyals, what drives them, and the yearly running costs to plan for.
Typical website prices in Saudi Arabia
According to Hyyat Host's 2026 guide to company website costs in Saudi Arabia, design prices usually fall into these ranges:
| Type of website | Typical design cost (SAR) |
|---|---|
| Basic brochure or landing page | 3,000–8,000 |
| WordPress with a customised template | 3,000–10,000 |
| Custom company website | 8,000–25,000 |
| E-commerce store | 12,000–50,000 |
Design is the most variable part of the budget. The infrastructure underneath it, domain, hosting and email, is far more predictable.
Yearly running costs
- Domain: a Saudi
.sadomain costs about SAR 99 a year, according to the same guide. - Hosting and business email: small business hosting with email can start from a few hundred riyals a year. Larger or busier sites need more.
- Maintenance: updates, backups and security monitoring keep the site safe and fast. Budget for it from day one rather than after something breaks.
What affects the price in Saudi Arabia
- Arabic and English. A bilingual site is not just translation. It needs right-to-left layouts, separate keyword research and twice the content, which adds time.
- Number of pages and templates. Five pages sharing a layout cost far less than a large site with many unique sections.
- Payments. If you sell online, your checkout should support mada, Apple Pay and often buy-now-pay-later services like Tabby and Tamara. Each gateway adds setup work.
- Custom features. Booking systems, calculators, customer portals and integrations with your inventory or CRM all add development time.
- Content. Professional Arabic and English copywriting and photography are often quoted separately, and they shape results as much as the design.
WordPress, Salla, Shopify or custom?
- WordPress suits most company and service websites, and your team can edit pages without a developer.
- Salla or Shopify suit online stores. They handle products, checkout and orders out of the box. See our comparison of Shopify vs Salla for Saudi stores.
- Custom development makes sense when you need features no template can handle.
How to get good value
- Decide what the site must achieve, such as enquiries, bookings or sales, before requesting quotes.
- Ask exactly what is included: Arabic version, content, SEO setup, training and support after launch.
- Get a written timeline and pay in stages tied to milestones.
- Make sure the domain, hosting and all content are registered in your company's name.

Frequently asked questions
Does a bilingual Arabic and English website cost more?
Yes. A bilingual site needs right-to-left layouts, separate keyword research and content in both languages, so it takes more time than a single-language site.
Should I use a .sa or .com domain?
A .sa domain signals a Saudi business and suits companies focused on the Kingdom. A .com works well if you also sell across the Gulf or internationally. Many businesses register both.
How long does it take to build a website?
A five-page business website usually takes two to four weeks. Online stores and custom projects take longer, depending on products, features and content.
