How much does a website cost in Nigeria?
Real price ranges for landing pages, business websites, online stores, web apps and mobile apps, what pushes the price up or down, and the yearly costs people forget.
Ask five designers what a website costs and you’ll get five answers between “₦50k” and “₦5 million”. Both can be honest. The price depends on what the site has to do, not how many pages it has.
Here are our current price ranges, in US dollars with the naira equivalent at today’s rate. The final price is always fixed in writing before any work starts.
| Project | Price range | About, in naira | Typical time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Landing pageOne focused page that sells a product, event or launch. | $120 to $350 | ₦160,080 to ₦466,900 | 1 to 2 weeks |
| WebsiteA multi-page site for a business, church, school or brand. | $300 to $1,000 | ₦400,200 to ₦1,334,000 | 2 to 4 weeks |
| Online storeProducts, cart, checkout and order management. | $700 to $2,500 | ₦933,800 to ₦3,335,000 | 3 to 6 weeks |
| Web appLogins, dashboards, bookings, portals and anything with data. | $1,200 to $5,000 | ₦1,600,800 to ₦6,670,000 | 4 to 10 weeks |
| Mobile appAndroid and iPhone apps, usually with a web dashboard behind them. | $2,000 to $7,000 | ₦2,668,000 to ₦9,338,000 | 6 to 14 weeks |
Naira at about ₦1,334 per $1; you pay in naira at the rate shown at checkout.
What actually moves the price
What the site has to do. A brochure site that shows who you are and how to reach you is the cheapest kind. As soon as visitors log in, book, pay or upload something, you’re paying for logic, security and testing, and the price climbs.
How many different page designs there are. Ten pages that share one layout cost far less than five pages that each need their own design. Ask how many templates you’re paying for, not how many pages.
Payments. Taking money online with Paystack or Flutterwave adds checkout, receipts and order handling. It’s worth it, but it isn’t free.
Content. If you already have your logo, good photos and the words for each page, the build moves fast. If the studio has to chase or write them, it takes longer and sometimes costs more.
Who you’re buying from. A freelancer starting out, a studio and an agency all charge differently. Cheap builds often skip the boring parts: backups, security updates, page speed and handing you the logins.
The costs people forget
The build is a one-off. Running a site has yearly costs too:
- Domain name, renewed every year (see the table below).
- Hosting and SSL, which keep the site online and secure.
- Updates and small changes after launch: new prices, photos, staff and opening hours.
| Ending | First year | Each renewal |
|---|---|---|
| .com | ₦15,390 | ₦30,690 |
| .ng | ₦38,390 | ₦50,690 |
| .com.ng | ₦30,690 | ₦39,890 |
| .net | ₦23,090 | ₦27,690 |
| .org | ₦13,790 | ₦27,690 |
Registrar prices change from time to time; your proposal shows the current figure.

How to avoid overpaying
- See it before you pay. A clickable prototype shows what you’re buying. Ours are free to start: describe your idea and you get one in about a minute.
- Get a fixed price in writing with the scope, milestones and launch date.
- Make sure you own it. The domain should be registered in your name, and you should get the logins and files when the final payment is made.
- Pay in stages. A deposit to start, then milestones, protects both sides.
