How much does a business website cost in Kenya?
A useful website budget starts with what the site must do, not simply how many pages it has. Here are Webmetro’s starting scopes and the decisions that determine a written quote.
Begin with the business outcome
A brochure site helps people understand your company and get in touch. A content-managed site gives your team a repeatable way to publish. An online store must also handle catalogue data, payment, fulfilment and customer questions. Those are different projects.
Before comparing prices, write down the main action a visitor should take: call, request a quote, book, or buy. Then list the pages and information that support that action.
What the starting prices cover
Webmetro’s starter business website is a small responsive site with up to five core pages, an enquiry form, WhatsApp contact and basic on-page search setup. The growth option allows up to ten pages and more tailored content management or conversion work. The ecommerce starting point covers a defined catalogue and standard checkout.
These prices are starting estimates. Content production, complex design work, booking features, migration, integrations and unusual approval cycles can change the delivery effort. Ask for an itemised scope rather than treating a starting price as an all-inclusive promise.
Allow for running costs
Domain registration, hosting, premium software, email, backups and maintenance may recur after launch. Payment providers may charge transaction fees. A proposal should state which accounts you own and who pays each provider.
Our website care plan is shown separately from the build price. A care plan should identify the updates, monitoring, response expectations and monthly limits it covers. Feature development is a new scope.
Compare proposals fairly
Check the exact page count, content entry, mobile layouts, accessibility work, search setup, form delivery, testing, revision rounds, ownership, handover and support. Ask what happens if your requirements change during the project.
If your existing website has search visibility, request a page and URL inventory before changing its structure. Preserve useful pages and redirect moved pages to close equivalents.
