Quick answer: A professional business website in Lahore costs from PKR 35,000 for a 5-page site and from PKR 50,000 for a larger site with service pages and full SEO setup. Online stores start from PKR 40,000. Across the wider market, quotes range from under PKR 30,000 for a very basic site to well over PKR 150,000 for larger or custom projects.
If you are comparing quotes, the real question is what each price includes. This guide breaks down what a website costs in Lahore, what drives the price, what you pay after launch, and how to compare quotes fairly. It is written by the team at Webeez Digital, a website development agency in Lahore.
Website development cost in Lahore at a glance
| Project type | Starting price | Typical delivery |
|---|---|---|
| Starter website (5 pages) | PKR 35,000 | 10 working days |
| Business website (8–12 pages, SEO setup) | PKR 50,000 | 15 working days |
| Online store, starter (up to 25 products) | PKR 40,000 | 7–10 working days |
| Online store, business (up to 100 products) | PKR 50,000 | 20–25 working days |
| Website redesign | PKR 45,000 | 10–15 working days |
| Custom website or web application | Custom quote | Depends on scope |
These are starting prices, so the final figure depends on pages, features and integrations. A fixed written quote should be agreed before work begins.
What affects website cost in Lahore?
- Number of pages. A 5-page site is quicker to build than a 12-page site with separate service pages.
- Design approach. A professionally customised layout costs less than a fully bespoke design built from scratch.
- Platform. WordPress, Shopify and WooCommerce each suit different needs. WordPress alone powers roughly 40% of websites worldwide, which keeps skilled developers and plugins widely available.
- Features. Payment gateways, booking forms, WhatsApp integration and courier connections all add build time.
- SEO setup. Heading structure, meta tags, schema markup, image optimisation and Search Console setup take real hours. Sites without them cost less and rank less.
- Content. If you supply text and photos, the project is faster and cheaper. Copywriting is extra on some packages.
What you get at each price
Starter website (from PKR 35,000)
Five pages, mobile-responsive design, a contact form, a WhatsApp button, basic on-page SEO and speed optimisation. It suits local businesses, clinics, consultants and tradespeople who need a credible online presence. See our website development services for full details.
Business website (from PKR 50,000)
Eight to twelve pages, individual service pages, custom design, full SEO setup with schema markup, Google Business Profile setup and content assistance. This is the right choice if you want to rank for several services.
Online store (from PKR 40,000)
A starter store covers up to 25 products, one payment gateway, cash on delivery, basic shipping setup and basic SEO. A business store (from PKR 50,000) covers up to 100 products, multiple gateways, courier integration, shipping zones and full SEO. Our e-commerce website development and Shopify development pages explain how each platform works in Pakistan, including JazzCash, EasyPaisa, cash on delivery and courier integration with TCS, Leopards, M&P, Trax and PostEx.
Website redesign (from PKR 45,000)
Best when your content is fine but the design is dated, slow or poor on mobile. A redesign rebuilds the site with modern design and better structure while preserving your existing SEO rankings.
Custom web applications
Dashboards, portals and booking systems are quoted individually, since scope varies too much for a fixed price.
The costs most quotes leave out
The build fee is a one-time payment. Running the site is ongoing, so ask for the full annual figure up front.
- Domain name: around PKR 3,000 to 5,000 per year. A .pk domain is administered by PKNIC, the official registry.
- Hosting: around PKR 1,000 to 8,000 per month for a business website, depending on traffic. Online stores on WooCommerce typically need PKR 3,000 to 8,000 per month.
- SSL certificate: usually free with good hosting, but confirm it.
- Premium plugins or themes: a one-time or yearly licence, if your project needs them.
- Maintenance: updates, backups and security checks start around PKR 10,000 per month if you want someone else to handle them.
- Shopify stores: the Basic plan costs around $25 per month (roughly PKR 7,400), and local payment gateways typically add about 2% per order.
A useful rule is to add 15 to 20% on top of the build price for the first year of running costs.
How long does it take to build a website?
A starter website takes about 10 working days, and a larger business website about 15. Stores take 7 to 10 working days for a small catalogue and 20 to 25 for a larger one. The clock starts once the advance is paid and you have supplied your content. Most delays come from late text and photos, not slow development.
Does SEO cost extra?
Every website we build includes basic SEO setup: meta tags, heading structure, image optimisation, schema markup and Google Search Console submission. That gives you the correct foundation. Ranking for competitive keywords usually takes three to six months and often needs ongoing work. Monthly local SEO retainers start from PKR 25,000, and we also help businesses become visible in AI-powered search through our AI optimization services. Beware of anyone who guarantees a Google ranking, because nobody controls that.
Freelancer or agency in Lahore?
Freelancers can be cheaper for simple, well-defined jobs. Agencies usually offer a fixed quote, a written scope, defined revisions and post-launch support, which matters if the website is how customers find you. Whichever you choose, ask for live examples and check them on your phone. You can browse our live client projects and judge the quality yourself.
Why do quotes vary so much?
Two quotes for "a website" can describe very different products. A very low price often means a free theme with your logo added, generic text and no SEO. It exists and it loads, but it rarely generates enquiries, and many owners end up paying twice: once for the cheap site and again a year later for a proper one.
How to get an accurate quote
Before you ask anyone for a price, prepare:
- The pages you need (or a competitor site you like)
- Your logo, colours, text and photos, or whether you need help with them
- Features such as WhatsApp chat, booking or online payments
- Your deadline
Then ask every developer the same seven questions:
- Who owns the domain and hosting? (It should be you.)
- Can I see live websites you built?
- What SEO is included?
- What are the payment terms?
- How many revisions are included?
- Is there support after launch?
- What will it cost to run each year?
How payment works
At Webeez Digital, work starts with a 50% advance and the balance is due on delivery. Two rounds of revisions and 30 days of post-launch support are included, and the domain, hosting, files and admin logins are transferred to you at handover. Whoever you hire, get these terms in writing. You can read more about how we work.
