How Much Does a Website Cost in Nigeria? Prices for 2026

Website prices in Nigeria range from ₦150,000 for a template job to tens of millions for a large platform. That spread is not about greed; it reflects very different amounts of work and, more importantly, very different results. Here is how to read the numbers.

Three tiers, three prices

• Business website (₦1,000,000): custom design on your brand, unlimited pages, mobile-first build, a content management system you can edit yourself, contact and quote forms connected to WhatsApp and email, a blog, SEO setup, hosting, SSL and 30 days of support. Delivered in two weeks.
• E-commerce and growth (₦3,000,000): everything above plus an online store with catalogue, cart and checkout, Paystack, Flutterwave and Stripe payments, delivery and pickup options, advanced UI/UX with a prototype, AI search or support features, landing pages, conversion tracking and 90 days of support.
• Web platform and enterprise (₦5,000,000): customer portals and dashboards, multi-site or multi-brand setups, subscriptions and wallets, headless CMS or WordPress on Kubernetes, regulated-industry compliance, a dedicated team and 6 months of support.

What a ₦150,000 website usually gets you

A purchased theme with your logo swapped in, hosting on a shared server, no content system training, no SEO setup and no one to call when it breaks. It can be a reasonable start for a sole trader. It is rarely a good idea for a company that expects the website to bring in customers, because the page speed, structure and content are all inherited from a template built for someone else.

What should always be included

• A design made for your business, tested on a phone first, since more than 70% of Nigerian visitors use mobile.
• A content management system and training, so your team can publish without a developer.
• Speed: pages that load in under two seconds on a 3G connection, with images compressed and a CDN in front of the site.
• Search setup: titles, descriptions, structured data, a sitemap, Search Console and analytics on day one.
• Ownership: the domain, hosting and accounts in your company's name, with documentation and a hand-over.
• Support: a stated period after launch during which fixes are free.

What is usually extra

• Domain renewal (₦10,000 to ₦40,000 a year for a .ng or .com) and hosting after the setup period.
• Photography, video and copywriting beyond editing what you provide.
• Payment gateway fees, which are charged per transaction by Paystack, Flutterwave or Stripe.
• Third-party tools such as email marketing, booking systems and live chat.
• Ongoing SEO, content and advertising after launch.

Questions that separate good quotes from expensive ones

• Who owns the code and the accounts when we are done?
• What is the page speed target, and will you test it on a real phone on a real network?
• How will we edit the site ourselves, and will you train us?
• What happens to our current pages and Google rankings during the switch?
• What exactly happens in the 30 days after launch, and what does support cost after that?

If a quote cannot answer those five questions in writing, the low price is not the real price.
