Website design and development is a long-term process. The duration depends on the complexity of the website and its requirements. If you are looking to make a website for your business, then you must be willing to know the cost of website development. You may be puzzled by the wide range of prices quoted by various web agencies and companies. Here, we are trying to clear your doubts about the price of website development in Nepal.
Since you already know there is a wide range of price quotations from various web agencies, some charge you Rs. 5 lakhs per website, while others may charge you just Rs. 1 lakh or even less for the same website. These all depend on the requirements of the website.
If you are trying to build only an informative website with only 5 pages such as Home page, About Us, Contact Us, Privacy Policy, Team then it may cost you Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 15,000. But you may not blame the agency that quotes you more because they may be using another language that requires much time and skilled manpower.
But a website with much more features, suppose a website that requires user registration and login system to collect their data will cost more. Expect the pricing from Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 80,000 depending on your requirements. The pricing may vary with the platform that developers choose. The readymade and most popular CMS(Content Management System) like WordPress may cost you even less. You may ask the company to choose such CMS if you do not want to spend much on your website. Money is yours after all :) .
An eCommerce website to sell your items online will cost you even more. It may easily range from 1 lakhs to 5 lakhs. You want to develop a website only to sell your items and collect the order. If you want to allow vendors to upload the products in your platform, then it may cost you even more, because vendor need to have a separate login system and have a feature to upload products by themselves.
But do not get panicked if the budget goes beyond your expectations. There is always a workaround. There are several open-source eCommerce solutions such as Magento, Opencart, Prestashop which might be your friend.
