What drives the price up (or down)
- Number of pages and languages: a bilingual site means twice the copy and proofreading
- Design: an adapted template costs less than a design from scratch
- Features: booking, payments, customer accounts, blog
- Copywriting: is your text ready, or does it need writing?
- Where the team works: hourly rates vary widely by city and country
What about Africa?
Prices vary enormously from one country to another, and between providers in the same city. The safest approach is to compare detailed quotes: what is delivered, who owns the domain and the code, and what is paid every month.
