What a website actually costs in Nepal, and what moves the price
Real ranges for a business site, a custom build, and an online store in Nepal, plus the five things that decide which end of the range you land on.

The first question in almost every first call is some version of this one, and the honest answer is a range rather than a number. Here is where that range sits in 2026, and what actually decides where in it you land.
The ranges
| What you need | Price | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Simple business website | NPR 50,000 to 150,000 | 2 to 4 weeks |
| Custom design with a CMS | NPR 100,000 to 250,000 | 4 to 8 weeks |
| Online store | NPR 80,000 to 200,000 | 4 to 8 weeks |
| Custom web platform | From NPR 250,000 | 8 to 16 weeks |
Those are build costs. Domain and hosting are separate and recur every year, and a payment gateway takes a cut of every transaction. Any quotation that does not mention them is not finished.
What moves the number
- 1Page count. Five pages and fifty pages are different projects, even at the same design quality.
- 2Custom design or template. A template is cheaper and faster, and it will look like a template.
- 3Features. Forms are cheap. Bookings, dashboards, payments, and multi language are not.
- 4Content. Somebody has to write the copy and supply the photos. That somebody is billable if it is not you.
- 5Support after launch. A site nobody maintains is a site that breaks quietly.
The cheapest quote is rarely the cheapest project
A site built without a content structure has to be rebuilt when you want to rank, and a rebuild costs more than doing it once. Ask what happens when you need a new section in a year. The answer tells you what you are really buying. Our full pricing guide breaks this down further.
Vague scope is the single biggest cause of failed projects in Nepal. Get the deliverables, the timeline, and the ownership terms written down before any money moves.
What to ask before you sign
- What exactly is included, and what is explicitly excluded?
- Who owns the code, the domain, and the hosting accounts at the end?
- What does a change request cost once we have started?
- Is SEO structure part of the build or an extra?
- What does support cost after launch?
If you want the numbers for your own project rather than a range, send us the requirement. The first conversation and the written quotation are free.
