“How much does a website cost?” is the first question companies in Algiers and across Algeria ask us. The honest answer: it depends on what the website needs to do for you. This guide explains what drives the price, so you can compare quotes on a clear basis.
The main types of websites
Corporate (showcase) website
It presents your company, products or services, references and contact details. Its goal is to reassure prospects and generate enquiries and quote requests. It is the most requested format among SMEs, manufacturers and service companies.
E-commerce website
An online store (often built with WooCommerce) displays a catalogue and takes orders, usually with cash on delivery in Algeria. It requires more work: product pages, order management, delivery by province and notifications.
Multilingual website
French, Arabic and English: each language adds translation, an adapted layout (Arabic reads right to left) and its own SEO work.
Custom platform
Customer area, online quotes, bookings, supplier portal: once the site becomes a business tool, it is custom development.
What drives the price
- Number of pages and amount of content.
- Design: an adapted template costs less than a fully custom design for your brand.
- Features: forms, catalogue, online ordering, blog, multiple languages, connection to management software.
- Copy and photos: supplied by you, or written and produced by the agency.
- SEO: structure, tags, speed, structured data and keyword-optimized content.
- Training and support after launch.
Yearly costs to plan for
- domain name renewal (.dz or .com);
- web hosting and SSL certificate;
- professional email addresses, if included;
- maintenance: security updates, backups and small changes.
Good practice: always make sure the domain is registered in your company’s name and that you have administrator access to the site. It is your asset.
Pitfalls to avoid
- A very cheap site with no mobile version, when most visitors use a smartphone.
- A slow site on an overloaded server.
- No SEO work: the site exists but nobody finds it on Google.
- A vague quote with no list of pages or features.
How to get a fair quote
- The main goal of the site (leads, sales, brand image).
- The list of pages.
- The languages.
- Two or three websites you like.
- Must-have features.
- Your deadline.
