Prices for websites in Nigeria swing wildly — you'll see quotes from ₦30,000 to ₦2,000,000+ for what sounds like "the same thing." The gap isn't random. It comes down to a handful of factors: how many pages you need, whether it's custom-built or template-based, if there's a backend (bookings, payments, a database), and who's building it.
Here's a realistic starting-point table based on what these project types actually take to build well in Nigeria right now:
| Project Type | What You Get | Typical Range |
|---|---|---|
| Landing Page | 1-page conversion site — hero, about, services, testimonials, CTA, contact form | ₦130,000 – ₦195,000 |
| Business Website | Up to 5 pages — Home, About, Services, Portfolio, Contact | ₦260,000 – ₦390,000 |
| Booking / Appointment Site | Service site + booking system, calendar integration | ₦310,000 – ₦520,000 |
| Website Redesign | New UI, improved UX, speed & SEO clean-up | ₦210,000 – ₦520,000 |
| E-Commerce Store | Product listings, cart, checkout, Paystack integration | ₦520,000 – ₦1,040,000+ |
These are Nigerian-market freelancer/small-studio ranges — agencies with bigger overhead will quote higher for the same scope, and that's not necessarily a bad thing if you need a bigger team. You can see the full current price list, including AI automation and social media packages, on the EminnTech pricing page.
What actually drives the price up or down
1. Custom design vs. template
A templated site (Wix, a pre-built theme, a page-builder) is cheaper because most of the design decisions are already made. A fully custom design — built from your brand, your content, your goals — takes more hours, but it's the difference between a site that looks like everyone else's and one that actually looks like your business.
2. Number of pages and content
Every extra page is more layout work, more copy to organize, and usually more images to source or shoot. A 3-page site and a 10-page site are simply different jobs.
3. Functionality
Static pages (text, images, a contact form) are the cheapest to build. Anything with logic behind it — a booking calendar, a login system, a shopping cart, a WhatsApp bot integration — needs backend development, which is a different skill set and more time.
4. Hosting and domain (ongoing, not one-time)
A website cost isn't just the build. Budget separately for a domain name (roughly ₦5,000–₦15,000/year depending on the extension) and hosting (free tiers exist on platforms like Netlify for static sites; anything with a backend usually needs a small monthly hosting cost).
5. Who's building it
A student learning to code, an experienced freelancer, and a full agency will all quote differently for the same brief — not because one is "better," but because you're paying for different levels of speed, reliability, and post-launch support.
Questions to ask before you pay for a website
- Does the price include revisions, or is every change an extra cost?
- Who owns the domain and hosting account after the project — you or the developer?
- Is mobile responsiveness included, or is that "extra"? (It shouldn't be — most Nigerian traffic is mobile.)
- What happens after launch — is there a maintenance retainer, or are you on your own?
- Can they show live examples of sites they've actually shipped, not just mockups?
The honest bottom line
If someone quotes you ₦20,000 for a "full business website," ask what exactly that includes — it's usually a single template page with your logo dropped in, not a site built around your business and your customers. On the other end, if an agency quotes ₦3,000,000 for a 4-page brochure site, ask what's driving that number.
The sweet spot for most Nigerian SMEs starting out is a well-built, up-to-5-page site with clear calls to action, fast load times, and mobile-first design — which is exactly where the ₦260,000–₦390,000 Business Website range above tends to land. Need something simpler to test an offer first? A single conversion-focused Landing Page starts at ₦130,000.
