Commissioning a professional website is one of the highest-leverage investments any Pakistani business can make. But quotes range from PKR 15,000 to PKR 1,000,000+ — so what actually drives the price, and how long does the work take?
Typical 2026 price ranges in Pakistan
- Basic 5-page business site: PKR 50,000 – PKR 120,000
- Mid-tier custom design + CMS: PKR 120,000 – PKR 250,000
- E-commerce (50–200 products): PKR 150,000 – PKR 350,000
- Custom web app or SaaS MVP: PKR 300,000 – PKR 1,500,000+
What drives the cost
Three factors dominate: (1) custom design vs template, (2) number of pages and content production, and (3) integrations like payment gateways, CRMs, booking systems and inventory.
Realistic timelines
A standard 5–7 page business website takes 2–3 weeks. Custom designs with multiple stakeholders typically run 4–6 weeks. E-commerce builds with payment integrations average 6–8 weeks.
What you should always demand
- Custom mobile-first design (not a recycled template)
- Lighthouse score 90+ on mobile
- On-page SEO baked in from day one
- Editable content via a CMS like WordPress or Sanity
- 30–60 days of free post-launch support
- Source code and full ownership of all assets
Red flags to avoid
Anyone quoting under PKR 30,000 for a 'custom' site is almost certainly using a free Elementor template, will not optimise for performance, and will disappear after launch. Cheap websites are the most expensive marketing mistake Pakistani SMEs make.
