A website in Nigeria typically costs from ₦180,000 for a landing page to ₦400,000 for a standard business website, ₦900,000 for an online store, and ₦1,200,000 or more for a custom build, based on AD Technologies’ published 2026 prices. The final price depends on the number of pages, custom design, features such as payments or bookings, and who writes the content. This guide explains each price level, the ongoing costs most people forget, and how to judge a quote.

What Affects the Cost of a Website
- Number of pages. Every page needs design, content and testing. A 5-page site costs far less than a 20-page one.
- Custom design vs template. A ready-made theme is cheaper. A design built around your brand costs more but looks and converts better.
- Features. Online payments, bookings, member logins, product listings and calculators each add development time.
- Content. If the developer writes your text, the price rises. Good copy is worth it, especially for pages you want to rank.
- SEO and speed setup. Proper titles, schema, sitemaps and speed optimisation take time, but they decide whether anyone finds the site.
- Integrations. Connecting a CRM, WhatsApp, delivery or accounting software adds cost per connection.
Ongoing Costs Most People Forget
The build is only part of the cost. Budget for these every year or month:
- Domain name: renewed every year, whether .com or .ng.
- Hosting: paid monthly or yearly. Cheap hosting often means a slow site, which hurts rankings and sales.
- Maintenance: updates, backups and security. Our Care Plans start from ₦35,000 per month.
- Visibility: a website nobody finds brings no customers. SEO and AI visibility plans start from ₦250,000 per month. See how much SEO costs in Nigeria.
Cheap Website vs Proper Website
| Very cheap website | Properly built website | |
|---|---|---|
| Speed on mobile | Often slow and heavy | Optimised for phones and mobile data |
| SEO setup | Usually missing | Titles, schema and sitemap from day one |
| AI search readiness | Rarely considered | Readable by ChatGPT, Google AI and others |
| Security and backups | Often none | HTTPS, updates and backups set up |
| Ownership | Sometimes held by the developer | You own the site, domain and accounts |
How to Judge a Website Quote
- Is the scope written down? Pages, features, revision rounds and timeline should be in writing before you pay.
- Who owns the domain and hosting? They should be registered in your name or your company’s name.
- Is SEO included? Ask what is set up at launch: titles, descriptions, schema, sitemap and Search Console.
- Can you update it yourself? WordPress lets you edit text and images without a developer.
- What happens after launch? Ask about support, fixes and maintenance costs.
