How much a WordPress website actually costs in Pakistan
A WordPress website in Pakistan typically costs between PKR 25,000 for a simple starter site and PKR 300,000 or more for a fully custom, dynamic build, with most small business websites landing in the PKR 50,000 to 120,000 range. The final price depends on the design, number of pages, features, and who builds it, not a single fixed rate.
There is no one honest price for every website, and any agency quoting the same flat figure for a one-page brochure and a full online store is leaving something out. On this page we break down exactly what you pay for, the typical PKR ranges for each type of site in 2026, and how to read a quote so your money goes to the right place.

What makes up a WordPress website price
A WordPress website price is not one number, it is several costs stacked together. Here is what each part typically costs in Pakistan, so you can see where your budget goes before you commit.
Domain and hosting
These are the recurring foundations every site needs. A .com domain in Pakistan typically runs PKR 3,500 to 5,500 per year, and reliable shared hosting around PKR 6,000 to 18,000 per year. Cloud or VPS hosting for heavier sites costs more.
- Domain name, renewed yearly
- Web hosting, renewed yearly
- SSL certificate for a secure site
Design and theme
Your design can be a free theme, a premium theme, or a fully custom layout. A premium WordPress theme is usually a one-time PKR 8,000 to 25,000, while a custom design is part of the development cost and is the single biggest reason prices differ.
- Free, premium, or custom design
- One-time theme cost where used
- Mobile-responsive layout
Plugins and functionality
Plugins add features like contact forms, security, SEO, and online shops. Many good ones are free, but premium plugins for SEO, security, or a page builder commonly add PKR 10,000 to 35,000 depending on what your site actually needs.
- Forms, security, and SEO tools
- Premium plugin licences where needed
- Page builder if your site uses one
Custom design and development
This is the labour to actually build your site, and the biggest variable in any quote. The WordPress software is free, so most of your price is the time and skill to design, build, and test the site. Expect PKR 25,000 to 250,000 or more by scope.
- Design and build time
- Custom layouts and features
- Testing across devices
Content and on-page SEO
Words, images, and basic on-page SEO turn an empty shell into a working site. Depending on the number of pages and whether you supply your own text, content and on-page SEO often add PKR 10,000 to 60,000 to a build.
- Page copy and images
- Basic on-page SEO setup
- Meta titles and descriptions
Maintenance and support
A website is an ongoing asset, not a one-time purchase. Updates, backups, and security typically cost PKR 8,000 to 30,000 per month or as a yearly plan, though you can maintain a WordPress site yourself once you own it.
- Core, theme, and plugin updates
- Backups and security monitoring
- Optional, never locked in
WordPress website price by type of site
These are realistic 2026 price ranges in Pakistani rupees for the most common kinds of WordPress website. Treat them as planning guides, since your exact quote depends on pages, design, and features.
| Type of website | What it usually includes | Typical price (PKR) | Build time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter or brochure site | Up to about 5 pages, ready-made theme, essential plugins | 25,000 to 50,000 | 3 to 7 days |
| Business website | 6 to 12 pages, tailored design, basic on-page SEO | 50,000 to 120,000 | 1 to 3 weeks |
| Corporate or custom design | Fully custom design, advanced layouts, integrations | 120,000 to 300,000 | 3 to 6 weeks |
| WooCommerce store | Product pages, cart, payment and shipping setup | 80,000 to 350,000 | 2 to 6 weeks |
| Custom build or web app | Membership, booking, portals, custom functionality | 300,000 and up | 6 weeks and up |
How we turn your brief into a fixed quote
No vague figures and no surprise invoices. Every WordPress project at Bilwebz is priced through the same four steps, so you know the number before any work starts.
Discovery and scope
We map your pages, features, and goals so the quote reflects your real project, not a guess. Clear scope is what keeps the final price honest.
Transparent quote
We send an itemized quote that separates design, development, content, and any third-party costs like domain and hosting, so nothing is buried in one number.
Design and build
We design and develop your site, share progress as we go, and keep changes inside the agreed scope so the price you signed off on stays the price you pay.
Launch and support
We launch the site, hand over full ownership, train you to update it, and offer an optional support plan if you would rather we maintain it.
Pricing you can read, sites you actually own
Plenty of providers in Pakistan advertise a low headline price, then add domain, hosting, content, and revisions as extras once you have signed. We quote the whole project up front in clear PKR, separate what goes to us from what goes to third parties, and hand over full ownership of your site, hosting, and domain. You are never locked in.
A fully custom, dynamic WordPress site for Niilofur Farrukh
Niilofur Farrukh needed a distinctive, content-rich website that reflected a strong personal brand, not a recycled template. This project sits at the custom end of the pricing scale and shows what a bespoke, dynamic WordPress build actually involves.
The brief
The goal was a website with its own visual identity and a layout built around the content, rather than forcing that content into an off-the-shelf theme. That means custom design and dynamic WordPress development, which is exactly why a project like this costs more than a starter site.
What we built
We designed the site from scratch and developed it as a dynamic WordPress build, so pages and content sections can be managed and updated without touching code. Every layout decision served the brand, not a template's defaults.
- Fully custom design, no off-the-shelf theme
- Dynamic WordPress build for easy content updates
- Layout and structure shaped around the content
- Full ownership handed over on launch
If you want a website with a genuinely custom identity rather than a templated one, this is the kind of build, and the kind of investment, it takes.

How to compare WordPress website quotes
A low price means little if the quote leaves out half the project. Ask these questions before you pay anyone, including us.
Is the quote itemized?
A real quote separates design, development, content, and third-party costs. One vague number usually hides extras that appear on the final invoice.
Are hosting and domain included?
Confirm whether the price covers hosting and domain, or adds them later as recurring costs. Either is fine, as long as you know up front.
Custom design or a reused template?
A PKR 25,000 site and a PKR 200,000 site are not the same product. Ask exactly what is custom-designed and what is a ready-made theme.
Who owns the site and accounts?
You should own your domain, hosting, and WordPress login. If the agency keeps them in their name, you lose control the day you leave.
Is SEO and speed included?
Basic on-page SEO and speed optimization are often sold separately. Ask what is in the base price so you can compare quotes fairly.
What does maintenance cost?
Updates, backups, and security are ongoing. Get the monthly or yearly figure before you commit, not after the site is live.
WordPress pricing for Islamabad, Rawalpindi and beyond
We are based in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, so we know what local businesses here actually pay and expect from a WordPress website. Rates are broadly similar across Lahore, Karachi, Faisalabad, and other major cities, with the real difference coming from scope and agency experience rather than location alone.
We also build and price WordPress sites remotely for clients in the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and across Pakistan. International projects often need extra security, multilingual setup, or integrations, which is reflected honestly in the quote rather than buried in it.
WordPress website price in Pakistan, answered
A WordPress website in Pakistan typically costs between PKR 25,000 for a simple starter site and PKR 300,000 or more for a fully custom, dynamic build. Most small business websites fall in the PKR 50,000 to 120,000 range. The exact price depends on the number of pages, how much of the design is custom, the features you need, and whether a freelancer or an agency builds it.
Because a WordPress website can mean a one-page template or a fully custom online store. The core software is free, so almost all of the price is the design, development, content, and expertise that go into it. More custom design, more pages, and more functionality all push the cost up.
A WordPress online store built on WooCommerce typically costs from around PKR 80,000 for a small catalogue to PKR 350,000 or more for a large store with many products, payment gateways, and shipping rules. Product feed setup, inventory, and checkout customization add to the figure.
It depends on the provider, so always ask. At Bilwebz we tell you clearly which costs are one-time development and which are recurring, like domain and hosting, and we set them up in your own name rather than ours.
A template site reuses an existing design, so the work is mostly configuration. A custom site is designed and built around your brand and content from scratch, which takes far more design and development time. That labour, not the WordPress software, is what you are paying for.
In most cases, yes. Many WordPress projects in Pakistan are split into a deposit to start and a balance on completion, sometimes with milestone payments for larger builds. We agree the schedule with you before any work begins.
A simple starter site can be ready in a few days, a tailored business website usually takes one to three weeks, and a fully custom or e-commerce build can take several weeks. Timelines depend on scope, how ready your content is, and the number of revision rounds.
Maintenance is optional and separate from the build. Updates, backups, and security typically run from around PKR 8,000 to 30,000 per month or as a yearly plan, depending on the site. You can also maintain it yourself, since you own it.
Sometimes, for a basic brochure site. But a price that looks too good often skips proper design, security, speed, or SEO, which can cost more later in lost visitors and rebuilds. It usually pays to match the budget to what the site needs to do, not just the lowest figure.
Yes. We are based in Islamabad and Rawalpindi and also build and price WordPress sites remotely for clients in the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and across Pakistan, with pricing adjusted to the scope and any extra requirements.
