This is the question we hear most often. The honest answer is: it depends on what you need. A one-page site for a shop has nothing in common with an online store that takes Mobile Money payments. Here is how to see clearly before asking for a quote.
The three main types of websites
1. The simple business website
One to three pages presenting your business, your services and your contact details, with a WhatsApp button and a contact form. It is the right choice to get started or for a freelancer. At Gantara Tech, this type of site starts at 150,000 CFA francs.
2. The complete company website
Several pages (services, portfolio, about, contact), a news section, careful Google optimisation and business email addresses. The ideal tool for a small business that wants customer enquiries. Plan from 350,000 CFA francs.
3. The online store or custom website
Product catalogue, cart, online payment, customer area, bookings, bilingual site… These projects take more work and start at around 650,000 CFA francs. Specific apps and software are quoted case by case.
All our prices are listed on the Pricing page.
What changes the price
- The number of pages and the amount of content to lay out.
- The design: an adapted template costs less than a fully custom design.
- The features: Mobile Money payments, appointment booking, member area, several languages.
- The copywriting: whether we write your text or you provide it.
- SEO: basic optimisation or real work to reach the top of Google.
Yearly costs to plan for
A website is not just a one-off build price. Every year you renew the domain name (your address, for example yourcompany.com) and the hosting (the server your site lives on). With our website plans, both are free for the first year, then from 50,000 CFA francs per year.
Also think about maintenance: updates, backups and security. A site that is never updated becomes slow and vulnerable.
Beware of websites that are too cheap
A very cheap website can end up costing you a lot. Before you commit, check three things:
- Is the domain name registered in your name?
- Will you get the access to edit your website yourself?
- Is the site fast on mobile and protected by an SSL certificate (the small padlock)?
