Company Website Cost in Egypt 2026: What You're Actually Paying For

Ask five web agencies in Cairo to quote a company website and you may get five numbers that look unrelated. That is not because some of them are dishonest. It is because "a website" can mean a one-page template on shared hosting or a fast, bilingual, search-optimised site built to bring in leads for years.

The short answer: the cost of a company website in Egypt in 2026 depends less on the number of pages and more on five things: how the site is built (template, WordPress or custom code), the quality of the content and design, bilingual Arabic and English support, technical SEO and speed, and what happens after launch (hosting, security, updates and support). Published price lists from Egyptian agencies in 2026 place a typical company site roughly between EGP 8,000 and 20,000, but those are entry figures, not a full budget.

This guide breaks a quote down line by line, so you can compare offers fairly and know which items you can safely cut and which ones will cost you more later.

Key takeaways

• Market price lists are a starting point only. One Egyptian agency's published 2026 ranges show EGP 8,000–20,000 for a company site and EGP 6,000–15,000 for WordPress, and they vary widely between vendors.
• The real cost is the total over three years: build, hosting, domain, SSL, maintenance, content updates and fixes.
• With about 67% of Egypt's web traffic on mobile, mobile performance is not an extra. It should be in the base scope.
• An Arabic version is not "translation at the end". It needs its own keywords, layout (right-to-left) and URLs.
• Ask every agency the same scope questions in writing. A cheap quote that excludes SEO, content or ownership of the code is not cheaper.

What Egyptian agencies publish as price ranges in 2026

There is no official price index for web design in Egypt. What exists are ranges that agencies publish on their own sites. For example, a 2026 price guide by the Egyptian agency Geexar lists these indicative figures:

Website type	Indicative range (EGP, 2026)
Personal site	3,000–8,000
Company site	8,000–20,000
WordPress site	6,000–15,000
E-commerce store	15,000–50,000+

Treat these as "what you will see in the market", not as a fair price for your project. Other agencies publish different ranges, and the scope behind each number is rarely the same. A figure at the low end usually assumes a ready-made theme, your own content and no ongoing work. A serious corporate site for a manufacturer in 10th of Ramadan or a clinic group in New Cairo often sits well above these ranges once content, bilingual pages, integrations and maintenance are counted.

The seven cost drivers behind every quote

1. Build approach: template, WordPress or custom code

A ready theme is the fastest and cheapest to launch. WordPress adds a content editor and thousands of plugins, but each plugin is something to update and secure. A custom-coded site costs more to build but gives you full control over speed, structure and security. The right choice depends on how much the site must do. We compare the options in detail in our guide to WordPress versus a custom-coded website.

2. Design: adapted theme or original design

Adapting a theme to your colours takes days. Designing original page layouts, icons and a component library takes weeks. Original design matters most when your brand must stand out, for example a law or engineering firm competing on trust.

3. Content: who writes it, and in which languages

Content is the most underestimated line. Many quotes assume you will supply all text and photos. Writing service pages, an About page and case studies in both Arabic and English is real work, and it is also what Google ranks. If an offer is silent on content, assume it is not included.

4. Arabic and English (right-to-left) support

A proper bilingual site has separate URLs per language, a right-to-left layout for Arabic, translated metadata and correct language signals for Google. Adding this after launch is more expensive than planning it from the start. See our guide to bilingual websites and hreflang.

5. Technical SEO and speed

Google has 95.37% of search engine share in Egypt (StatCounter, August 2026), so a company site that Google cannot crawl or that loads slowly on a phone loses most of its purpose. Technical SEO covers clean URLs, titles and descriptions, structured data, a sitemap, fast loading and server-side rendering where JavaScript is heavy. It costs more upfront and saves money on ads later.

6. Features and integrations

Contact forms are cheap. Booking forms, WhatsApp buttons tied to a CRM, careers pages with CV upload, a client portal, online payments with Paymob or Fawry, or a connection to your ERP each add development and testing time.

7. After launch: hosting, security and maintenance

Hosting, domain renewal, SSL certificates, backups, security updates and small content changes are recurring costs. Some agencies include a year; others charge per request. Ask for this in writing.

How three typical quotes compare

Here is how scope usually differs between a low, middle and higher quote for the same company. These are scope profiles, not prices.

Item	Low quote	Mid quote	Higher quote
Build	Ready theme	Customised WordPress	Custom-coded, server-rendered
Languages	One	Two, shared URLs	Two, separate URLs and metadata
Content	Client supplies	Light editing	Written and optimised per page
SEO	Plugin defaults	Basic setup	Technical SEO, structured data, Search Console
Mobile speed	Not measured	Checked	Targets Core Web Vitals
Support	None	Limited period	Defined maintenance plan
Code ownership	Often unclear	Varies	Stated in contract

The question is not which column is "best". A small trading company in Alexandria that mainly needs a credible page to send to suppliers can live with the first column. A company that wants the website to generate leads from Google needs most of the third.

Hidden costs that appear after launch

• Renewals at a higher price. Hosting and domains are often discounted for year one. Check renewal terms.
• Paid plugins and themes. Premium WordPress plugins usually need yearly licences to keep receiving updates.
• Change requests. Adding a page or a new service after launch can be billed separately if there is no maintenance plan.
• Fixing a hacked or broken site. Out-of-date plugins are a common entry point. Clean-up costs more than prevention.
• Redoing SEO. A site launched without SEO foundations may need restructuring later, sometimes including new URLs and redirects.
• Legal pages. Egypt's Personal Data Protection Law requires privacy notices that are concise, clear and in Arabic, with its grace period ending on 1 November 2026. If your site collects names and phone numbers through forms, plan for this. Our guide on website privacy notices and consent explains what to check.

A checklist before you accept any quote

1. How many pages and templates are included, and in which languages?
2. Who writes the content, and is SEO copywriting included?
3. Is the site built on a theme, WordPress or custom code? Which plugins or libraries will it depend on?
4. Will I own the domain, the hosting account and the source code?
5. What speed targets will you meet on a mid-range Android phone?
6. Is Google Search Console and Analytics set up and handed over to me?
7. What is included after launch, for how long, and what is the price after that?
8. How are backups and security updates handled?
9. How many revision rounds are included in design?
10. Can I see similar live sites you built, and speak to the client?

Send the same list to every agency. Comparing answers, not totals, is how you find the real price difference.

Where you can save, and where you should not

You can reasonably save on: the number of pages at launch (start with core services and add more), custom illustrations (use good photography of your real team and premises), and animations that do not help the visitor.

You should not save on: mobile performance, clear service pages, correct Arabic, a secure setup with SSL and updates, and ownership of your domain and code. With 67.1% of Egyptian web page views coming from mobile devices (StatCounter, August 2026), a site that is slow on a phone is a site most of your visitors will leave.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a company website cost in Egypt in 2026?

Egyptian agencies' published 2026 price lists show roughly EGP 8,000–20,000 for a company site, but these figures vary widely and usually exclude content, bilingual work and maintenance. A reliable budget comes from a written scope, not a headline price.

Why do website quotes in Egypt differ so much?

Because the scope differs. One quote may be a ready theme with your own text, another a custom bilingual site with SEO, content and a year of support. Compare line by line using the same checklist.

What are the yearly costs after the website is launched?

Expect hosting, domain renewal, SSL if not free with your host, backups, security updates, plugin licences if you use WordPress, and content changes. Ask the agency to list each one with its renewal price.

Is SEO included in the price of website design?

Often only basic settings are included. Technical SEO, keyword-based content and Search Console setup are frequently extra. Ask what exactly is delivered, and remember that no one can honestly guarantee first-page rankings.

How long does it take to build a company website?

A template site can go live in days. A custom bilingual site with written content usually takes several weeks, and the timeline depends heavily on how fast content and feedback come from your side.
