If you run a business in Egypt and are asking how much a website costs in 2026, the short answer is: from about EGP 8,000 for a simple landing page to more than EGP 150,000 for a custom platform. As a full stack developer based in Cairo, here is what actually drives the price and how to choose the right offer.
Website design prices in Egypt (2026)
These are approximate market ranges for Egypt in 2026, not a final quote. The real price depends on your requirements.
Website type | Approximate cost (EGP) | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
Landing page | 8,000 – 20,000 | 1 – 2 weeks |
Company website (5 – 10 pages) | 20,000 – 60,000 | 3 – 5 weeks |
E-commerce store | 50,000 – 150,000 | 5 – 10 weeks |
Custom web platform (LMS, booking, SaaS) | 150,000+ | 2 – 4 months |
What drives the cost?
1. Site type and number of pages
A 5-page company site is very different from a store with hundreds of products, a cart and a payment gateway.
2. Template or custom build
WordPress themes and platforms like Salla or Zid are cheaper and faster but limited. A custom build with Next.js, React and Node.js costs more up front, but loads faster, ranks better and scales with your business.
3. Arabic + English
A bilingual site needs RTL/LTR layouts, separate URLs per language and hreflang tags. It usually adds 20–40% to the cost, and it is essential if your audience is in Egypt and the Gulf.
4. Admin dashboard (CMS)
A custom CMS lets you edit text, images and articles yourself without calling a developer for every change.
5. Integrations
Payment gateways (Paymob, Fawry, Stripe), shipping, e-invoicing, ERP systems like Odoo, or the WhatsApp API each add cost depending on complexity.
6. SEO and performance
A beautiful site nobody finds on Google brings no clients. Building in speed, structured data, a sitemap and proper titles from day one saves you a lot of ad spend later.
Yearly costs to budget for
- Domain: about USD 10–20 per year for a .com.
- Hosting: from a few thousand EGP per year, rising with traffic.
- Maintenance: a monthly or yearly plan for fixes and security updates.
- Content and marketing: articles, images and campaigns if needed.
Hiring from Saudi Arabia or the UAE?
Many companies in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dubai work with developers in Egypt to get the same quality at a much lower cost, with the same language and a small time difference. Work runs on a clear contract with milestone-based payments.
How to get the best price without losing quality
- List the pages and core features before requesting quotes.
- Start with an MVP and grow it later.
- Ask for real past projects and test their speed on mobile.
- Make sure the code, domain and hosting are in your name.
- Ask what post-launch support is included and for how long.
