How much does a website cost in Nigeria?

By Jordan Sede, Fritt. Updated October 2026.

The short answer: a simple website for a small business in Nigeria commonly costs somewhere between ₦150,000 and ₦500,000. An online store usually costs more, and a fully custom platform can cost far more again. Quotes vary this much because people are often pricing very different things.

What changes the price of a website

• Number of pages. A five page site costs less than a twenty page one.
• Design. A template adjusted to your brand costs less than a fully custom design.
• Features. Contact forms and WhatsApp buttons are simple. Booking systems, blogs, and member areas add work.
• Selling online. A store needs products, a cart, checkout, payments, and delivery options, which is why it costs more than a business site.
• Revisions and timeline. More rounds of changes and faster delivery both affect the quote.
• Who builds it. A freelancer, a small studio, and a large agency price the same work very differently.

Typical price ranges by type of website

These are broad ranges, not a price list. Published figures vary a lot, so treat any single number with caution and ask for a written quote.

Costs beyond the build

The build is not the only cost. Plan for these as well:

• Domain name. Your web address, renewed every year. A .ng or .com domain is commonly a few thousand to around ten thousand naira a year.
• Hosting. The server that keeps your site online. Basic shared hosting starts from roughly ₦7,000 a month, and busier sites pay more.
• Maintenance. Updates, backups, security, and small edits, either handled by you or by your developer.
• Content. Photos and written text. Good photos of your own work make a real difference.
• Payment fees. If you run a store, payment providers take a small fee on each sale. See how to accept payments on a Nigerian website.

Domain and hosting prices change, so check current rates before you buy.

Questions to ask before you pay

• What exactly is included, and how many pages or products does the price cover?
• How many rounds of revisions do I get?
• Will I own the domain and the website, and who holds the login details?
• How long will it take, and what happens if it runs late?
• Can I edit the content myself, and will you train me?
• What does support cost after launch?
• Will I get a written scope and a fixed price before work begins?

Is a very cheap website worth it?

Sometimes, but be careful. A very low price can mean a generic template, no revisions, no training, and nobody to call when something breaks. For a business that relies on its website to earn trust, it often pays to spend a little more for a site that looks credible and that you can manage yourself.

What Fritt charges

I publish my prices because most developers hide theirs.

• Business Website, from ₦300,000. Up to 5 pages, mobile responsive design, contact form and WhatsApp buttons, Google Maps, basic SEO, one round of revisions, training, your domain and standard hosting for the first year, and delivery in 7 to 10 working days.
• Ecommerce Starter, from ₦500,000. Up to 20 products, cart, checkout and payments, delivery options, two rounds of revisions, training, your domain and standard hosting for the first year, and delivery in 14 to 21 working days.
• Optional maintenance, from ₦25,000 a month. Updates, backups, security, and small edits. Hosting renewals after the first year are separate.

These are starting prices. The final quote depends on your pages, products, and features, and I send a short written scope, timeline, and fixed price before any work begins.
