One-off build costs
Planning and structure
Deciding which pages exist, how information is ordered, and the visitor's path from arrival to contact. Invisible work that decides whether the site converts.
Content
Text, images and logo. Ready content lowers cost and time; missing content is the single most common cause of project delay.
Design
An interface that reflects the business, works on mobile before desktop, and respects Arabic direction and typography.
Development and launch
Turning design into a real site: speed, working forms, WhatsApp and analytics wiring, indexing setup, then domain connection and testing before publishing.
Factors that multiply or reduce those items
| Factor | Effect on cost |
|---|---|
| Page count | The biggest direct factor — content, design and testing per page |
| Languages | A second version is layout and editing work, not just translation |
| Content readiness | Ready content shortens timelines and reduces revision rounds |
| Revision rounds | Open-ended rounds mean open-ended cost, so they're capped upfront |
| Integrations | Booking or external systems are a separate line item |
Recurring annual cost
- Domain: annual renewal in your business's name.
- Hosting: annual fee depending on size and traffic.
- Updates: service, price or branch changes.
- Optional management: SAR 299/month basic, SAR 499/month ongoing.
Costs that appear later and get forgotten
- A new service that needs its own page.
- A new branch needing a page and map data.
- Refreshed photography after a move or rebrand.
- Adding a second language after expansion.
None of these are hidden costs when they're agreed in advance. We quote additions with a written scope when you request them, never as a surprise fee.
How to compare two offers fairly
- Compare included page counts, not just the final price.
- Ask how many revision rounds are included.
- Ask whose name the domain and hosting are registered under.
- Ask for the expected timeline and what delays it.
- Ask what counts as out of scope and how it's priced.
