Website cost in Kenya ranges from KES 25,000 for a simple landing page to KES 400,000 or more for a full e-commerce store. A standard small business website sits between KES 50,000 and KES 120,000. A corporate or professional services website typically costs between KES 100,000 and KES 280,000.
Here is the full breakdown by website type.
Website Prices in Kenya by Type (2026)
| Website Type | Estimated Cost (KES) |
|---|---|
| Landing page | 25,000 to 60,000 |
| Small business website | 50,000 to 120,000 |
| Corporate or professional website | 100,000 to 280,000 |
| E-commerce store | 100,000 to 400,000 |
| Conference or event website | 70,000 to 220,000 |
| Custom web application | 250,000 and above |
Landing Page or Single-Page Website
KES 25,000 to KES 60,000
A landing page is a single focused page designed around one goal, typically to collect leads, promote a service, or launch a product. It has no navigation menu and is not meant to be a full business website. These are common for product launches, event registrations and marketing campaigns.
At this price point you should expect a professionally designed page, mobile responsiveness, a contact or signup form and basic on-page SEO setup.
Small Business Website (3 to 5 Pages)
KES 50,000 to KES 120,000
This is the most common website type for small businesses in Kenya. It typically includes a homepage, about page, services page, contact page and sometimes a blog. It is designed to establish credibility, communicate what you do and make it easy for potential clients to reach you.
At the lower end of this range you are typically looking at a template-based build with your branding applied. Toward the upper end you get a more tailored design, better performance optimisation and proper SEO groundwork laid from the start.
Corporate or Professional Services Website (6 to 15 Pages)
KES 100,000 to KES 280,000
Law firms, accounting firms, healthcare providers, financial advisors and established companies fall into this category. These websites require more pages to cover different service lines, team profiles, case studies and insights sections. The design needs to reflect professionalism at a higher standard, and the development needs to handle a more complex content structure.
E-Commerce Website
KES 100,000 to KES 400,000
Selling products online involves considerably more complexity than a standard website. You need a product catalogue, shopping cart, secure checkout, payment gateway integration, stock management and an admin area to manage orders. The range is wide because a boutique store with twenty products is a very different project from a multi-category store with hundreds of listings.
Payment integration in Kenya adds a specific layer of complexity. M-Pesa integration through Daraja, card payments through Pesapal or Flutterwave, and mobile money reconciliation all require proper implementation and testing. Budget at the higher end if you need multiple payment options.
Conference or Event Website
KES 70,000 to KES 220,000
Event websites need to communicate the event proposition quickly, handle registrations or ticket sales, showcase speakers and sponsors, and manage attendee communications. If ticketing is handled by a third-party platform like Eventbrite or Ticketsasa, integration is straightforward. If you need a custom registration and session booking system built into the site, costs climb toward the upper end.
Custom Web Application
KES 250,000 and above
If you need a platform that does something a standard website cannot, you are in web application territory. Member portals, booking platforms with admin dashboards, directory websites, custom CRM tools and SaaS products all fall here. Pricing depends entirely on scope and cannot be estimated without a detailed brief.
Additional Costs to Budget For
The website build is only part of what you will spend. These recurring costs catch people off guard:
| Item | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|
| Domain name (per year) | KES 1,500 to 3,500 |
| Web hosting (per year) | KES 6,000 to 30,000 |
| Maintenance retainer (per month) | KES 5,000 to 20,000 |
Web hosting is not a place to cut costs. Cheap shared hosting is the single most common reason for slow websites in Kenya, and a slow website ranks lower on Google and loses visitors before they even read a word.
SEO and content are also separate from the website build in most agency quotes. Getting found on Google does not happen automatically just because your site is live.
Why the Cheapest Quote Is Rarely the Cheapest Option
Kenya has a large market of very low-cost website providers, and a quote of KES 10,000 or KES 15,000 is tempting. Extremely low-cost websites are almost always built on generic templates with minimal customisation, have little to no SEO work built in, load slowly on mobile connections, and come with no meaningful support after launch.
For a business that depends on its website to generate inquiries or sales, a website that nobody finds and nobody trusts is not cheaper. It is more expensive than doing it properly because you end up paying twice.
The right question is not “what is the cheapest website I can get?” It is “what is the minimum I need to invest to get a website that actually works for my business?”
What to Ask Before Hiring an Agency
Before signing any contract with a web design agency in Kenya, get clear answers to these questions.
Ask whether the price includes design, development and launch or whether those are billed separately. Ask who owns the website files and the hosting account after the project ends. Ask how long the build will take and what happens if deadlines are missed. Ask what post-launch support is included and for how long. Ask to see case studies from projects similar to yours in industry and scope.
A reputable agency will answer all of these questions clearly and without hesitation.
