What affects the price?
Not every website costs the same. These factors change the final quote:
- Number of pages - Home, About, Services, Gallery, Contact each add design and content work.
- Custom design vs template - A unique design costs more than a pre-built theme.
- E-commerce features - Product catalog, cart, payment gateway (JazzCash, EasyPaisa, Stripe) increase complexity.
- Content writing - If you need the developer to write all text in English/Urdu, expect Rs 3,000 - 10,000 extra.
- SEO & Google setup - Meta tags are usually included; ongoing SEO is Rs 15,000+/month.
- Domain & hosting - Typically Rs 2,000 - 5,000/year (often not included in the developer quote).
What's usually included in a Rs 15,000 - 25,000 package?
When you hire a web developer in Lahore or anywhere in Pakistan for a starter business website, you should expect:
- Mobile-responsive design (works on phone & tablet)
- 3 - 5 pages with your logo, colours and content
- Contact form or WhatsApp click-to-chat button
- Basic SEO (page titles, descriptions, sitemap)
- Social media links
- Full source code delivered to you
- 1 - 2 rounds of revisions
Always ask for a written scope before paying. Reputable freelancers take 50% advance and 50% on delivery - never pay 100% upfront to an unknown developer.
Hidden costs to watch for
- Domain name - .com or .pk domain (~Rs 2,000 - 4,000/year)
- Hosting - Shared hosting Rs 3,000 - 8,000/year; VPS more for heavy traffic
- SSL certificate - Free with most hosts (Let's Encrypt)
- Maintenance - Updates, backups, small changes: Rs 5,000 - 15,000/year optional
- Stock photos - Free from Unsplash or paid from Shutterstock
WordPress vs custom code - which is cheaper?
WordPress is faster to build and cheaper for blogs or simple sites (Rs 10,000 - 30,000). Custom HTML/CSS/JS or MERN stack costs more but gives better performance, unique design, and no plugin security risks. For a small business in Karachi, Lahore, or Islamabad that just needs an online presence, WordPress or a static site is often enough. For apps with login, dashboards, or AI features, go custom.
How to choose the right developer in Pakistan

- Read reviews on Fiverr or LinkedIn
