Price guide · Updated 30 September 2026
Website development cost in Pakistan, in rupees.
Most pages on this question give one range and no source. Here are six Pakistani companies' own price lists side by side, the yearly bills that start after launch, and what it actually costs us to keep eight websites online.
for a business website of 5 to 20 pages on published Pakistani price lists in 2026. An online store costs about Rs 40,000 to 3.3 lakh.
Then about Rs 12,000 to 30,000 a year for domain, hosting and email.
What do Pakistani web companies charge?
These are the packages on each company's own pricing page, checked on 30 September 2026. None of the pages shows a date, and the tiers include different things, so compare what's inside a package, not just its name.
| Company | Small site | Bigger business site | Online store |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Idea Web (Lahore) | Rs 15,000 (10 pages, WordPress) | Rs 24,999 (15 pages) | Rs 39,999 (10 products) · Rs 54,999 (25) |

Prices as listed by each company on its own website on 30 September 2026. We don't sell fixed packages ourselves; we give a written price after scoping.
Why do two quotes for "a simple website" differ so much?
Because they're quoting different websites. These are the things that move the price:
- Pages and who writes them. A 5-page site where you send the text is a smaller job than 20 pages the agency has to write.
- A template or a design. Most low packages install a ready-made WordPress theme. A design made for your business costs more.
- Can you edit it? A CMS lets your staff change prices and photos themselves. Without one, every change is a paid request.
- Selling online. Products, a cart, cash on delivery, JazzCash or Easypaisa. Each payment option has to be set up and tested.
- Speed and SEO. A fast site with proper titles, schema and a sitemap takes more work than one that only looks right.
What does a website cost every year after launch?
Build price is a one-time bill. These come every year, and most quotes don't mention them.
| Item | First bill | After that | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| .pk or .com.pk domain | Rs 2,100 a year, billed two years at a time (Rs 4,200) | PKNIC, since 1 Aug 2026 | |
| .com domain | Rs 499 (first year) | Rs 4,399 a year | Hostinger Pakistan |
| Hosting, one site (Single) | Rs 399 a month | Rs 999 a month | Hostinger Pakistan, 48-month promo |
| Hosting, business (Premium) | Rs 599 a month | Rs 1,699 a month | |
| SSL (the padlock) | Free | Let's Encrypt | |
| Business email, per mailbox | Rs 99 a month | Rs 299 a month | Hostinger Pakistan |
| Google Workspace, per user | US$6.30 a month | US$7 a month (about Rs 1,940) | Google, billed in dollars |
A .com.pk domain, Premium hosting at renewal, free SSL and two Hostinger mailboxes come to about Rs 29,664 a year. Dollars converted at Rs 277.15 (State Bank of Pakistan revaluation rate, 28 September 2026).
What we pay to keep eight websites online
Our own hosting account runs eight live websites: this one, our agency site, a computer institute, a toy store, a Quran academy, a real estate company, an accounting firm and a school. They share one Hostinger plan that costs Rs 27,588 a year, the renewal price of the plan Hostinger now calls Unlimited.
That works out to about Rs 3,450 per site per year, or Rs 287 a month. The sites use under 6% of the plan's space and traffic, so the limit that decides the plan is the number of websites, not their size.
This is why hosting is often cheaper through a studio that already runs a shared plan than on your own account. It also means your site sits on someone else's account, so ask who owns the domain and how you'd move it if you leave.
Why the renewal bill surprises people
Hosting companies advertise the first-term price, and that price usually needs a 48-month plan. On Hostinger Pakistan, Premium is Rs 599 a month at signup and Rs 1,699 at renewal, almost three times more. A .com domain is Rs 499 in the first year and Rs 4,399 after. Before you pay for any package, ask what year two costs.
WordPress, Shopify or custom?
- WordPress: free software, and most Pakistani packages use it. WooCommerce turns it into a shop for free. Paid add-ons come later, for example Yoast SEO Premium at US$118.80 a year.
- Shopify: easy to run, but Basic is US$19 a month on a yearly plan, about Rs 63,000 a year, charged in dollars to an international card.
- Custom: built from scratch for a specific process, like a booking system or a portal. It starts around Rs 5 lakh and only makes sense when a ready-made system doesn't fit.
Hire a web developer, or pay an agency?
Indeed puts the average web developer salary at Rs 42,179 a month in Lahore (160 salaries, updated 2 September 2026) and Rs 44,832 across Pakistan. A WordPress developer in Lahore averages Rs 50,573. For a business that needs ongoing work, a salaried developer can be cheaper. For one website you'd still need design, writing, SEO and someone to fix it later, which is what a package price is meant to cover.
How to get a price you can compare
- List the pages you need and say who will write them.
- Decide whether you'll sell online, and how customers will pay.
- Ask for the first-year and renewal price of domain, hosting and email, in writing.
- Ask who owns the domain and the hosting account.
- Ask to see a site they built that's still running today.
FAQ
Website cost, asked plainly.
How much does a website cost in Pakistan?
On the price lists Pakistani web companies publish in 2026, a business website of 5 to 20 pages costs about Rs 15,000 to 1.9 lakh, and an online store about Rs 40,000 to 3.3 lakh. Custom builds start around Rs 5 lakh. Keeping it online adds roughly Rs 12,000 to 30,000 a year.
What is the yearly cost of a website after it is built?
Domain, hosting and email. A .com.pk domain is Rs 2,100 a year (PKNIC, billed two years at a time), Hostinger Premium hosting renews at Rs 1,699 a month, and a Hostinger mailbox renews at Rs 299 a month. SSL is free with Let's Encrypt. That comes to about Rs 30,000 a year for one site with two mailboxes.
Why is my hosting renewal so much higher than the first bill?
The low hosting prices you see are for the first term only, and usually need a 48-month plan. On Hostinger Pakistan, Premium is Rs 599 a month at signup and Rs 1,699 at renewal, almost three times more. Ask for the renewal price before you pay.
Is Shopify cheaper than WordPress in Pakistan?
Not usually. Shopify Basic is US$19 a month on a yearly plan, about Rs 63,000 a year, billed in dollars to an international card. WooCommerce on WordPress is free software, so the yearly cost is mainly hosting, but someone has to set it up and look after it.
Should I hire a web developer instead of an agency?
Indeed puts the average web developer salary in Lahore at Rs 42,179 a month. For ongoing work that can be cheaper. For one website, you would also need design, writing, SEO and someone to fix it later, which is what an agency price covers.
What should a website quote include?
The number of pages, who writes the text, whether you can edit it yourself, the first year of domain and hosting, what happens at renewal, and who fixes it if it breaks. A package name without that list isn't a price you can compare.
