How Much Does a Business Website Cost in Lebanon?

If you have asked around for website prices in Lebanon, you have probably heard answers ranging from “almost free” to several thousand dollars. The difference usually isn’t the website itself. It’s what is included, and what is quietly left out.

Here is what actually goes into a professional business website, so you can compare offers fairly.

The five things you are really paying for

1. Planning. Deciding which pages you need, what each page should say and what you want visitors to do (call you, message you on WhatsApp, request a quote).
2. Design. A layout in your brand colours that looks professional and builds trust.
3. Development. Turning the design into a working, fast website that looks right on phones, tablets and computers.
4. Hosting and domain. The server your site lives on, the SSL certificate (the padlock in the browser) and your domain name.
5. Maintenance. Security updates, backups and fixes so your site keeps working year after year.

Where hidden costs usually appear

• Hosting not included. A low launch price, then a separate hosting bill you weren’t expecting.
• “Small changes” billed at high rates with no estimate given up front.
• No mobile optimisation. Most of your visitors are on their phones; a site that breaks on mobile costs you clients.
• You don’t own your domain. Always make sure the domain is registered in your name.

How DevNode prices websites

We keep it simple:

• $500 for the first year, including planning, design, development, publishing and hosting.
• $450 per year from the second year, covering hosting, maintenance and updates.
• $25 per hour for anything added after the first version (new pages, sections or features), always estimated before we start.

Questions to ask any web designer

• Is hosting included, and for how long?
• What is the yearly cost after the first year?
• Will the site work well on mobile?
• Who owns the domain and the content?
• How are future changes priced?
