How Much Does a Website Cost in Nairobi?

This is the first question every business owner asks, and the honest answer is: it depends. A basic business website costs significantly less than a full e-commerce platform. Here is a realistic breakdown of what Nairobi agencies charge in 2024.

Simple Business Website (5-10 Pages)

A standard business website with an about page, services, contact form, and basic SEO costs between KES 50,000 and KES 150,000. This covers custom design, mobile responsiveness, and basic hosting setup.

Most small businesses in Westlands, Kilimani, and CBD fall into this range. If you are using WordPress, expect the lower end. Custom-coded sites cost more but load faster and offer better long-term flexibility.

E-Commerce Website

An e-commerce website with product catalog, M-Pesa integration, and order management typically costs KES 100,000 to KES 500,000. The range depends on the number of products, payment methods, and custom features needed.

School or Institution Website

School websites with admissions portals, event calendars, and staff directories range from KES 80,000 to KES 300,000 depending on the features required.
