Website design cost in Egypt (2026): what actually drives the price

If you are budgeting for a company site, here is the short answer: website design cost in Egypt in 2026 starts at roughly EGP 2,000 for template-based offers, sits around EGP 20,000 for a small 5–10 page company site according to GoDaddy's regional estimates, and goes past EGP 100,000 once you add custom design, integrations and an online store. The spread is wide, but it is not random.

Most quotes give you one number and very little about what it buys. That is why two agencies can quote EGP 5,000 and EGP 60,000 for what sounds like the same "website".

Below are the published market figures with their sources, the factors that move the price, the yearly costs people forget, and a list of questions to ask any vendor before you sign.

How much does a company website cost in Egypt in 2026?

There is no single price for a company website in Egypt, but the market falls into three tiers. These are rough figures that vary with size, languages, features and who builds the site:

  • Template site: published offers start around EGP 2,000–6,000 for a 5-page site on a ready-made theme with basic hosting, according to offers compiled by Almaal. Fine as a starting point, usually without a distinct identity or a full admin panel.
  • Small to mid-size company site (5–10 pages): about EGP 20,000, and about EGP 120,000 for a medium site with a store, per GoDaddy's 2026 Middle East website cost guide. The same guide puts a basic site in Saudi Arabia at roughly SAR 1,500–3,000 to start.
  • Large or fully custom corporate site: regional pricing guides put corporate sites at $4,000–15,000, noting some Arab markets run 30–40% lower, per StudyShoot's website pricing guide (updated August 2026).

These numbers move with the exchange rate, because a real share of the cost (hosting, themes, plugins, tools) is paid in dollars.

Why do website prices in Egypt vary so much?

Website prices vary because buyers are not comparing the same product: they are paying for hours of work, a level of skill, and responsibility after launch. A EGP 3,000 quote and a EGP 50,000 quote usually describe two different things under the same name.

  1. Who builds it. A solo freelancer or a team with a designer, developer and project manager. Median rates for web designers on Upwork are $15–30 an hour, according to Upwork's cost guide; an agency adds management, testing and support on top.
  2. How much work is actually in scope. Custom design, copywriting, an English version, an admin panel, forms connected to email or a CRM. Each line is hours.
  3. What happens after launch. Some quotes end on handover day; others include support, updates and renewals. It shows in the price, and it shows even more when the site goes down.

Still choosing who should build it? Here are 7 questions to ask any web design company before you pay.

What drives the cost of a company website?

Seven factors drive the cost of a company website, and a serious quote should be explicit about each one:

  • Number and type of pages. An About page is not a detailed service page, and neither is a 200-product catalogue.
  • Languages. Arabic plus English is not "just translation": it means right-to-left and left-to-right layouts, two sets of copy, and SEO for each language.
  • Template or custom design. Templates are faster and cheaper; custom design builds your identity around your own users.
  • Admin panel. Can your team edit text, images and news themselves, or does every change go through a developer?
  • Features and integrations. Quote forms, booking, WhatsApp, payment gateways, links to accounting software or a CRM. Integrations are among the most expensive items.
  • SEO groundwork. Speed, heading structure, clean URLs, a sitemap. Google uses the mobile version of a site for indexing and ranking, so a site that is weak on mobile starts behind.
  • Content. Who writes the copy and prepares the images? Bilingual copywriting is separate work with its own cost.
Checklist of questions to ask before accepting a website design cost quote in Egypt
Eight things every company website quote should make clear.

What will you pay every year after launch?

A company website has recurring yearly costs beyond the build: mainly the domain, hosting, business email and support. If a quote does not separate these, ask.

  • Domain: your address, such as company.com. A .com runs about $10–15 a year, per GoDaddy. More important than the price: it must be registered in your company's name.
  • Hosting: where the site runs. Shared hosting starts around $3 a month and cloud hosting from about $20, per the same source.
  • Business email: name@company.com. Google Workspace starts at $7 per user per month on its pricing page, and prices differ by country. Many hosting plans also include email.
  • SSL certificate: the padlock in the browser. Free certificates exist; paid ones suit sensitive sites.
  • Maintenance and support: security updates, backups and fixes. This is the line that separates a site still working in two years from one that quietly breaks.

Budget for year one and year two together, not just the handover price.

Template or custom design: which one fits your company?

A template fits a company that needs a quick, low-budget presence online; custom design fits a company whose website has to sell and build trust with larger clients.

A template makes sense if:

  • You need a small site quickly.
  • You do not mind looking like many other sites.
  • The website is not your main source of new clients.

Custom design makes sense if:

  • You sell to companies or clients who compare you with competitors before calling.
  • You have several services or products and want a clear path to a quote request.
  • You need Arabic and English at the same quality, or links to your existing systems.

How to compare website design quotes

Compare quotes on written scope, not on the final number. Before you sign, make sure the quote or contract answers these questions:

  1. How many pages exactly, and which ones?
  2. How many languages, and who writes or translates the content?
  3. Is there an admin panel you can use yourself, and training on it?
  4. How many design revision rounds?
  5. Are domain, hosting and email included, for how long, and in whose name?
  6. Is the delivery date written into the contract?
  7. How many payment stages, and what triggers each one?
  8. How long is post-launch support, and what does it cover?

A very cheap quote that cannot answer half of these usually costs more later, through extras or a site no one is responsible for.

How TIQNIA scopes a company website

At TIQNIA, a Dokki-based technology partner working with companies in Egypt and Saudi Arabia for over 9 years and more than 350 delivered companies, we do not put a number down before we understand the need. The process is fixed: discover, define, design, build, test and launch, then operate and improve.

To make comparison fair, every company website proposal from us spells out:

  • Arabic and English versions, with a full admin panel and training.
  • A first design concept plus 3 revision rounds.
  • A delivery date written into the contract, with payment in 3 stages.
  • 6 months of support after launch, plus domain, hosting and business email for the first year.
  • A named project manager and a written update every week.

You can browse our portfolio of corporate sites such as Retal, Arch Builders and Pharma Treat, read about how we build company websites, or see what our after-launch support covers. And honestly: if the lowest price matters most to you, we are probably not the right fit.

The bottom line

A company website in Egypt can cost anywhere from a few thousand pounds for a template to tens of thousands for a custom bilingual site with an admin panel and support. The right number for your company comes from a written scope, not a market average. If you want a proposal built on what you actually need, tell us what you need.

FAQs

How much does a company website cost in Egypt in 2026?

Based on published market figures, template offers start around EGP 2,000, a small 5–10 page company site is about EGP 20,000 according to GoDaddy, and custom bilingual sites with integrations go past EGP 100,000. These are rough figures that move with the exchange rate.

Are domain and hosting included in the website price?

Not always. Some quotes include domain, hosting and email for the first year only; others exclude them entirely. Ask how long they are covered and confirm the domain is registered in your company's name.

What increases the cost of a company website the most?

The biggest cost drivers are custom design instead of a template, a second language with its own copy, a full admin panel, and integrations with payment gateways, accounting software or a CRM.

What are the yearly costs of a company website?

Recurring costs are domain renewal, hosting, business email, a paid SSL certificate if needed, and maintenance and support. Budget for the first two years together before deciding.

Should I hire a freelancer or an agency for a company website?

A freelancer is usually cheaper and fine for simple sites; an agency adds project management, testing, post-launch support and contractual responsibility. Compare scope and support, not just the price.
