Website development cost in Nepal can run from tens of thousands of rupees to several lakhs. The gap is big because “a website” can mean a five-page business card or an online store with payments and stock. Many quotes also leave out details, so two offers that look alike can hide very different work.
We publish our prices. This post shows what we charge, what each package includes, what raises the cost, and how to spend less without ending up with a site you have to rebuild.
Website development cost in Nepal at a glance
These are the one-time packages on our website development pricing page. Scope and timeline are confirmed after we review your needs.
| Starter | Business Growth | Premium Custom | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price (one-time) | NPR 45,000 | NPR 85,000 | NPR 150,000+ |
| Made for | New businesses and startups | Service businesses | Established brands |
| Pages | Up to 5 | Up to 12 custom pages | 15+ pages or custom modules |
| Design | Responsive, WordPress or CMS | Custom sections matched to your brand | Advanced design system |
| SEO | Basic on-page setup | Technical SEO-ready structure, blog setup | SEO migration or redesign planning |
| Extras | Contact form, Google Maps, WhatsApp | Lead forms, analytics setup | CRM, booking, or other integrations |
A fourth option, Enterprise, has no fixed price. It is for portals, product-heavy sites, and projects with special workflows, and we scope it after a discovery workshop.
One thing the table shows: the Business Growth package costs about NPR 7,100 per page, while Starter costs NPR 9,000. Page count isn’t everything, since the bigger package also has custom design and lead pages. Still, more pages in one build often cost less per page than adding them later.
What changes the cost of a website
Most of the price comes from five things.
The number of pages comes first, since each page needs layout, writing, and testing. Then the amount of custom design. A template with your logo costs less than sections drawn from scratch for your brand.
Features add cost too. A contact form is cheap. A booking system, a quote calculator, or a link to a CRM takes real development time. Content matters as well. If you give us finished text and photos, the job moves faster than if we need to help write and shoot them.
The last factor is the type of site. A brochure site, a business site, and an online store are different jobs. Our online flower marketplace case study shows how much more an online shop has to handle.
Types of websites and what they usually need
A basic site has three to five pages: home, about, services, and contact. It fits a new business that needs to be findable and look real.
A business site has about eight to twelve pages. It adds a page for each service, lead pages, and a blog, so you can grow your search traffic over time.
An online store needs product pages, a cart, checkout, payments, and order tools. We quote these per project, because the number of products and the payment setup change the work a lot.
A custom site is built around a workflow only your business uses, like a portal or a multi-step quote form.
What our packages include
Every package starts with planning. Before we design anything, we map the pages and the main action you want each visitor to take, such as calling you or sending an inquiry.
Then we build a layout that works on phones, tablets, and desktops. Most people in Nepal browse on a phone, so we design for the small screen first. Google also looks at the mobile version of your site first, which you can read about in its mobile-first indexing guide.
We include basic speed and security setup, forms, and Google Maps and WhatsApp buttons on the Starter package. Before launch, we test everything, then help you go live.
The site is also built with SEO in mind. That means clean headings, sensible URLs, and a page structure Google can follow. We cover what comes next in our guides to on-page SEO in Nepal and our technical SEO service.
Costs outside the package price
Some costs sit outside a build price, and companies often leave them out of quotes.
A domain name is paid yearly. Hosting is paid monthly or yearly. Premium plugins, stock photos, and paid fonts may cost extra. Writing and photography cost money if you don’t have your own. And a site needs updates and backups after launch, which some companies charge for.
Ask every company, including us, which of these are included before you pay. Get the answer in writing. A low build price with high hidden costs is not a cheap site.
Five ways to keep your website cost down
- Start with the pages you need now. A five-page site that works beats a twenty-page site that runs late. You can add pages later.
- Get your content ready before the build starts. Text, logo, and photos that arrive late slow the job and can raise the price.
- Use a system you can edit yourself, like WordPress, so you don’t pay every time you change a phone number or a price.
- Skip features you won’t use in the first six months. Booking tools and live chat can wait.
- Decide the scope before work begins. Changes in the middle of a build cost more than changes in the plan.
Is a website worth the price?
A website is the one place online you own. A Facebook page can change its rules or reach, and a post fades in a day. A site stays, and it can bring customers from Google while you sleep.
Here is an example with made-up numbers, so use your own. Say a customer is worth NPR 5,000 in profit to you. The Starter package costs NPR 45,000, so the site pays for itself after about nine customers. If it brings you two a month, that is under five months. Your own numbers will differ, but the sum is simple to do before you spend anything.
A site alone doesn’t bring visitors, though. You still need people to find it, and that is where SEO comes in. If you want to see how that is priced, read our post on SEO pricing in Nepal.
Warning signs when you compare quotes
- a price far below everyone else, with no list of what’s included
- no mention of mobile design
- a site you can’t edit, or one the company refuses to hand over if you leave
- no testing or support after launch
- copied templates sold as “custom design”
- no word on SEO basics, which means you may pay twice to fix it later
Good companies explain their work and show past projects. Look at our portfolio and case studies to see what to expect. If you want a checklist for comparing agencies in general, our post on picking an SEO company in Nepal has questions that work for web companies too.
Website development cost FAQ
How much does a website cost in Nepal?
At Flowrage, packages run from NPR 45,000 for a Starter site to NPR 150,000 and up for a Premium Custom site. Enterprise projects get a custom quote. Other companies price differently, so compare what is included.
How long does it take to build a website?
A small site often takes a few weeks. Larger or custom projects take longer, depending on your content, how fast you give feedback, and any integrations. We confirm a timeline after we review your scope.

Yes. We build on WordPress or a similar system, so you can change text, images, and pages without code. You can ask us for help if you get stuck.
Will my website show up on Google?
A good build gives Google a clear structure to read, but ranking takes ongoing work. Our packages include basic SEO setup. For more, see our SEO package page.
Can you redesign my old website?
Yes. We can rebuild an outdated site, move your content over, and fix its structure. If your old site already has Google traffic, we plan the move carefully so you don’t lose it.
