How Much Does a Website Cost in Nigeria? 2026 Price Guide

Aug 20, 20269 min read

A professional website in Nigeria costs between ₦100,000 and ₦1,200,000+ in 2026. A single-page landing site sits at the bottom of that range. A multi-page business website sits in the middle. A full e-commerce store with payments, inventory and order tracking sits near the top, and a fully custom web application sits above that. This guide breaks down what each tier actually costs, what you get for it, and which costs nobody mentions until the invoice arrives.

That spread is wide because 'website' describes very different things. Ask five different web design companies for a quote and you'll likely get five very different numbers for what sounds, on paper, like the same project. Here's what's actually driving the price at each tier.

Landing Pages: from ₦100,000. A single-page site built to do one job — launch a product, support an ad campaign, or give a service a dedicated page — typically takes around 2 days to build. At this tier you should still expect custom design (not a stock template), a mobile-responsive layout, basic on-page SEO structure, and a working contact form.

Business Websites: from ₦400,000. A multi-page site — home, about, services, a full breakdown of what you offer, and a contact page, often with a blog or gallery — typically takes about 3 weeks to build. The added cost reflects more design time, more pages to structure and optimise for search, and often custom functionality like booking forms or integrations with tools the business already uses.

E-Commerce Stores: from ₦600,000. Online stores cost more than informational websites because of what has to work correctly behind the scenes: secure payment gateway integration (such as Paystack or Flutterwave), inventory and stock management, order tracking, product search and filtering, and a checkout flow that doesn't lose customers halfway through a purchase. A typical e-commerce build also takes about 3 weeks, though the final price depends on the number of products and whether custom features like subscriptions or delivery-zone pricing are needed.

Custom Web Applications: from ₦1,200,000 upwards. Booking systems, customer portals, marketplaces and other platforms that go beyond a standard website require real software engineering — custom backend logic, user accounts, and often integrations with other systems. These builds take longer than a standard website and are scoped individually based on what the platform needs to do.

Two quotes for 'a website' can differ by hundreds of thousands of naira and both be honest. Page count, whether the design is custom or templated, the functionality required, who supplies the content, and whether proper SEO foundations are built in from day one — all of these move the number, often more than the business type itself.

The Ongoing Costs Nobody Quotes You. The build is one-time. Running the site is not. Budget for these every year: a domain name, which runs around $5/year whether you choose a `.com` or a `.com.ng`; hosting, which typically runs around ₦54,000 or $34 a year depending on the vendor and type of hosting (watch for dollar-denominated hosting — when the naira moves, your renewal moves with it); and an SSL certificate, which should be included free, not billed separately. If you're selling online, Paystack and Flutterwave also charge a percentage per transaction — rates vary by provider, so confirm the current rate before launch.

Maintenance is a separate, ongoing cost worth budgeting for too — regular updates, security monitoring, backups and small content changes. At Slatech Solutions, maintenance runs ₦200,000 per quarter. Skipping it is one of the most common reasons business sites quietly break or get compromised.

Why ₦30,000 Websites Exist — and What You're Actually Buying. You'll see ₦30,000–₦50,000 offers on Instagram and WhatsApp. They're real, and for some people they're the right choice. At that price the work is usually a free template with your logo dropped in, hosted on an account the designer controls — meaning you typically don't own the hosting or the domain. There's no SEO structure, no speed optimisation, and often no way to reach the person who built it six months later. For a business testing an idea this weekend, that might be fine. For a business that needs to be found on Google and trusted by paying customers, it usually means a rebuild within a year, and paying twice. Cheap and affordable aren't the same thing: affordable means the price matches what you get and the site earns its cost back; cheap means the price is low and the bill arrives later.

How Slatech Solutions Prices Website Projects. Slatech Solutions has built over 500 websites for Nigerian businesses, with landing pages from ₦100,000, business websites from ₦400,000, e-commerce stores from ₦600,000, and custom web applications from ₦1,200,000 upwards. Every quote is broken down clearly before any deposit is paid, and every website we build — the domain, hosting, and code — belongs entirely to the client. We also offer instalment plans: pay a 50% deposit upfront and the balance within 2 months of the project starting, rather than paying the full amount at once.

The right question isn't 'what's the cheapest website I can get' — it's 'what does my business actually need to convert visitors into customers, and what does that honestly cost.' Get quotes broken down by exactly what's included, ask about ongoing costs upfront, and confirm you'll own the domain and hosting outright. If you want an honest, itemised quote for your specific project, Slatech Solutions offers a free consultation and sends a fixed quote within 24 hours, with no obligation to proceed.
