In 2026, a website in Egypt typically costs anywhere from around 5,000 EGP for a simple brochure site to 50,000+ EGP for a custom online store. The price depends on the type of site, the number of pages, the design quality, and whether you need features like e-commerce or booking. Most small businesses land in the 8,000–25,000 EGP range.

What does a website cost in Egypt in 2026?
There’s no single price because “a website” can mean very different things. A one-page landing page is a few thousand pounds; a full e-commerce store with payment and inventory is a much bigger project. Here are realistic 2026 ranges for the Egyptian market:
| Website type | Typical cost (EGP) | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Landing page | 5,000–10,000 | One offer or campaign |
| Business website (5–8 pages) | 8,000–25,000 | Most small businesses |
| Online store | 20,000–60,000+ | Selling products online |
| Custom web app | 60,000+ | Booking, portals, systems |
What affects the price of a website?
Two websites with the same number of pages can have very different prices, and it usually comes down to a few factors. Knowing them helps you understand quotes and decide where to invest.
- Number of pages and amount of content.
- Custom design vs. a ready-made template.
- Features: e-commerce, booking, multi-language, forms.
- Who builds it: a freelancer, an agency, or a DIY builder.
- Content: who writes the copy and prepares the images.
What about the ongoing costs?
The build price is only part of the story. Every website has recurring costs you should budget for, even if they’re small. Ignoring them is a common surprise for first-time owners.
- Domain name: roughly a few hundred EGP per year.
- Hosting: from around 1,000–3,000+ EGP per year depending on traffic.
- Maintenance & updates: optional, but recommended for security.
- Changes & content: if you want regular updates done for you.
How do you avoid overpaying (or underpaying)?
The cheapest quote is rarely the best value, and the most expensive isn’t always either. Get a clear written scope, ask exactly what’s included (design, content, revisions, hosting setup), and make sure you own the final website and domain. A site that’s too cheap often means a slow, templated result you’ll have to rebuild later.
Common mistakes when buying a website
- Choosing on price alone — you often pay twice when you rebuild.
- No clear scope — leads to disputes and surprise costs.
- Forgetting mobile — most Egyptian visitors are on phones.
- Ignoring speed and SEO — a pretty site that no one finds is wasted.
- Not owning your domain — never let someone register it in their name.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a small business website cost in Egypt?

Is it cheaper to use a website builder myself?
Upfront, yes. But DIY builders often look generic, can be slow, and take a lot of your time. For a serious business, a professionally built site usually pays off through better trust, speed, and results.

Expect to pay for a domain (a few hundred EGP) and hosting (around 1,000–3,000+ EGP per year). Maintenance and content updates are optional but recommended to keep the site secure and fresh.
