"How much does a website cost?" is the most common question we get. The honest answer: it depends on what the website must do. Here's a transparent breakdown of typical market ranges in Nepal.
Typical price ranges
| Type | Typical range (NPR) | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Landing page / portfolio | 25,000 – 60,000 | 1–2 weeks |
| Business website with CMS | 60,000 – 1,50,000 | 3–6 weeks |
| E-commerce store | 1,50,000 – 5,00,000 | 6–10 weeks |
| Custom web application | 5,00,000+ | 8–20 weeks |
Ranges are indicative market figures; your quote depends on scope.
What drives the price?
- Design: template vs fully custom UI/UX.
- Functionality: bookings, payments, dashboards, integrations.
- Content: copywriting, photography and video.
- SEO & performance: speed optimisation, schema and on-page SEO.
- Ongoing care: hosting, security, backups and updates.
The hidden cost of cheap websites
A slow, insecure or unrankable website costs more in lost leads than it saved at launch. Evaluate cost per lead over two years — not just launch price.
Questions to ask any agency
- Will I own the website and domain?
- Is SEO included, and what exactly?
- What happens after launch — support, updates, hosting?
- Can I update content myself?
