How much does a website cost
in Saudi Arabia?
A professional business website costs SAR 2,000–25,000 in 2026, and an online store SAR 15,000–80,000 — depending on pages, languages, and features. Below are the real numbers Saudi agencies usually keep hidden, from a Riyadh team that publishes its prices.
Real 2026 prices, by website type.
| Website type | Typical price | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Landing page / one-pager | SAR 2,000 – 5,000 | 1–2 weeks |
| Corporate website (5–7 pages, bilingual) | SAR 2,000 – 8,000 | 2–4 weeks |
| Corporate website (custom, 10–20 pages) | SAR 8,000 – 25,000 | 4–8 weeks |
| WordPress website (custom theme) | SAR 8,000 – 20,000 | 3–6 weeks |
| E-commerce store (Salla / Zid / Shopify) | SAR 15,000 – 30,000 | 3–5 weeks |
| Custom e-commerce platform | SAR 25,000 – 80,000 | 8–12 weeks |
| Next.js web platform / portal | SAR 12,000 – 60,000 | 4–10 weeks |
| Mobile app (iOS + Android) | SAR 40,000 – 300,000 | 10–24 weeks |
| Custom software / SaaS | SAR 60,000 – 500,000+ | 12+ weeks |
These are market-realistic ranges for professional, bilingual work in 2026. Safwa Web's own prices sit at the accessible end of each range — see the full pricing page for exact package contents.
Six factors that decide what you pay.
Number of pages & languages
A 5-page site costs less than a 25-page site, and a bilingual Arabic/English build adds design and content work for every page — but in Saudi Arabia it roughly doubles your reachable market.
Custom design vs. template
Template sites are cheaper upfront (SAR 1,000–3,000) but look like everyone else, load slowly, and rank poorly. Custom design costs more once and keeps paying back in trust and conversions.
E-commerce & payments
Online selling adds product setup, payment gateways (Mada, STC Pay, Tabby, Tamara), shipping integration, and ZATCA e-invoicing — typically SAR 10,000+ over a brochure site.
Content writing
Who writes the words? Professional bilingual copywriting typically adds SAR 150–400 per page but is what actually convinces visitors to call you.
Integrations
CRM, booking systems, WhatsApp Business, SMS gateways, ERP connections — each integration adds development and testing time.
Who builds it
Freelancers are cheapest but risky on deadlines and support. Big agencies charge SAR 50,000+ for the same site. An in-house specialist team with published pricing sits in between.
Website cost in US dollars.
The riyal is pegged at 3.75 SAR per US dollar, so prices convert cleanly: a bilingual corporate website runs about $530–$6,700, an e-commerce store $4,000–$21,000, and a mobile app from $10,700.
Compared with US or European agencies quoting $15,000+ for a corporate site, a specialist Saudi team delivers the same engineering quality — with native Arabic — at a fraction of the price.
Ongoing costs after launch.
- Domain (.com or .sa)SAR 50 – 250 / year
- HostingSAR 300 – 1,500 / year
- Maintenance & updatesFrom SAR 500 / month (optional)
- SEO (if you want to rank)From SAR 5,000 / month (optional)
Pricing questions, answered straight.
How much does a basic website cost in Saudi Arabia?
A professional bilingual business website (5–7 pages) costs SAR 2,000–8,000 in 2026 from a specialist team like Safwa Web. Freelancers may quote SAR 1,000–3,000 using templates; large agencies often quote SAR 20,000+ for the same scope. The full breakdown is on our pricing page.
How much does an e-commerce website cost in Saudi Arabia?
A complete Saudi online store — with Mada, STC Pay, Tabby/Tamara payments, Aramex/SMSA shipping, and ZATCA-compliant invoicing — costs SAR 15,000–30,000 on platforms like Salla, Zid, or Shopify. Fully custom e-commerce platforms range from SAR 25,000 to 80,000.
How much does a website cost in US dollars?
At the fixed rate of 3.75 SAR per USD: a corporate website runs about $530–$2,150, a custom corporate site $2,150–$6,700, an e-commerce store $4,000–$8,000, and a mobile app from roughly $10,700. Saudi agencies bill in SAR, so the dollar price is stable.
Why do most Saudi web agencies hide their prices?
Because they price per client, not per project — the same website can be quoted at SAR 8,000 or SAR 80,000 depending on who is asking. We publish our prices so you can compare before you ever talk to us. That transparency is exactly why clients call us.
What is the cheapest way to get a professional website?
Start with a focused 5-page bilingual site (from SAR 2,000) that does one job: make your phone ring. Avoid paying for features you don't need yet — you can add e-commerce, booking, or a blog later on the same foundation.
Are there monthly costs after the website launches?
The only mandatory recurring costs are domain (~SAR 50–250/year) and hosting (~SAR 300–1,500/year). Maintenance (from SAR 500/month) and SEO (from SAR 5,000/month) are optional. Every Safwa Web site includes 30 days of free post-launch support.
How much does a mobile app cost in Saudi Arabia?
MVP apps start at SAR 40,000. Full consumer apps with backend, admin dashboard, and Saudi payment integration typically run SAR 80,000–300,000+. See our mobile app development page for what drives the price.
