Ask five web developers in Pakistan for a quote and you can get five answers between PKR 15,000 and PKR 1,500,000. That spread is not random. It reflects very different things being built — and very different results afterwards.
This guide breaks down what a website really costs in Pakistan in 2026, what you get at each price level, and the questions to ask so you only pay once.
Quick answer: typical website prices in Pakistan
These are honest market ranges for professional work in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad in 2026:
- Basic business website (3–5 pages): PKR 35,000 – 80,000
- Professional company website (6–15 pages, SEO-ready): PKR 80,000 – 200,000
- E-commerce store (Shopify, WooCommerce or custom): PKR 120,000 – 400,000
- Custom web app or portal: PKR 300,000 – 1,500,000+
- Overseas / USD projects: roughly $500 – $10,000+ depending on scope
What actually drives the cost
The price is decided by a handful of factors. Knowing them lets you compare quotes fairly.
- Number of pages and how much unique content each needs
- Custom design versus a ready-made template
- Features: online payments, booking, logins, dashboards, integrations
- Speed and SEO setup — whether the site is built to rank on Google
- Who writes the content and supplies the photos
- Ongoing support, hosting and updates after launch
Why cheap websites often cost more
A PKR 15,000 website is usually a reused template with slow hosting, no SEO setup and no clear way for visitors to call or WhatsApp you. It looks fine, but it rarely brings enquiries — so most owners end up rebuilding it within a year.
The real question is not 'what is the cheapest website?' but 'what will bring me customers?' A site that turns two extra visitors a month into clients usually pays for itself quickly.
Hidden costs to ask about before you sign
Always confirm these in writing:
- Domain and hosting renewal price after year one
- Who owns the website, design files and login details
- Cost of changes after launch
- Whether basic SEO, Google indexing and speed optimisation are included
- Plugin, theme or app subscription fees
