"How much for a website?" is one of the hardest questions to answer honestly, because the real answer is "it depends" — and vague answers erode trust. Here's a clearer breakdown of what actually drives website pricing in Nigeria in 2026.
The rough price bands
- Simple business website (5–8 pages): from ₦150,000 — a professional online presence with contact forms and basic SEO.
- Custom-designed corporate website: ₦350,000–₦800,000 — bespoke design, CMS for your team to update content, stronger SEO foundation.
- E-commerce store: from ₦600,000 — product catalog, Paystack/Flutterwave checkout, inventory management.
- Web application / SaaS MVP: ₦800,000–₦3,500,000+ — custom logic, user accounts, and a real backend, not just pages.
What actually moves the price
Three things drive most of the variance: how custom the design needs to be, how many integrations are required (payments, SMS, third-party APIs), and whether there's a real backend involved versus a mostly static site. A five-page site with a contact form is a very different build from a ten-page site with a booking system, live chat, and a customer portal.
"The cheapest website is rarely the cheapest option once you count the redesign you'll need in a year."
Questions to ask before you accept a quote
- Does the price include mobile responsiveness and basic SEO, or are those extras?
- Will I own the source code, or does the developer retain control?
- What happens after launch — is there a maintenance plan, or are you on your own?
- How long will the build actually take, with milestones you can check?
