Website Cost in Qatar: What You Will Pay in 2026
Last updated: 29 September 2026
Website cost in Qatar ranges from a few thousand riyals for a simple business site to tens of thousands for an online shop or custom web application. Published prices differ a lot between agencies, because scope, design and features differ. This guide shows the ranges Qatar agencies publish, what platform subscriptions cost, and what to ask so quotes can be compared.
Published price ranges from Qatar agencies
These are the agencies’ own published figures in QAR, checked 2026-09-29. They are marketing guides, not quotes, and the spread between agencies is wide.
| Source | Type of website | Published price (QAR) |
|---|---|---|
| Sitemap (June 2026) | Basic business website | 1,500 to 3,000 |
| Sitemap | Corporate website | 4,000 to 15,000 |
| Sitemap | E-commerce website | 10,000 to 20,000+ |
| Sitemap | Custom web application | 20,000 to 50,000+ |
| Expert Web | Startup package (5 pages, free domain and hosting, 1 week) | 5,000 |
| Expert Web | Pro package (unlimited pages, 2 weeks) | 8,000 |
| Creative Web Design Qatar | Basic custom website | from 8,000 to 12,000 |
| Creative Web Design Qatar | Medium-complexity business website | 15,000 to 30,000 |
| Creative Web Design Qatar | Complex e-commerce or web application | 35,000 to 100,000+ |
Sitemap also gives yearly running costs: domain registration QAR 50 to 500 a year and hosting QAR 300 to 4,000+ a year. Expert Web’s Elite SEO package (QAR 4,000 a month) is a separate service, not the website itself. Some agencies publish no prices: PowerWeb, for example, says its pricing is customised and asks for a consultation.
Do-it-yourself platforms
Subscription platforms cost less upfront but you build and maintain the site. Shopify’s pricing page (checked 2026-09-29, shown in USD, which may vary by location) lists Basic at USD 39 a month (USD 29 on annual billing), Grow at USD 105 (USD 79 annual) and Advanced at USD 399 (USD 299 annual). Prices exclude apps, themes, payment fees and any agency help. Check the current price and currency on the vendor’s page before budgeting.
What drives the cost
| Cost driver | What changes the price |
|---|---|
| Number of pages and content | More pages, and who writes the text, photos and translations. |
| Template or custom design | A template is faster; custom UI/UX design costs more. |
| Arabic and English | Bilingual sites need right-to-left layouts and extra content work. |
| Features | Online payments, booking, login areas, integrations with CRM or ERP. |
| E-commerce | Product catalogue, payment gateway, inventory and shipping setup. |
| SEO and analytics | Basic setup is often included; ongoing SEO is usually extra. |
| Hosting, domain, email | Yearly costs that continue after launch. |
| Maintenance and support | Updates, security, backups and edits after handover. |

FAQ
How much does a website cost in Qatar? Qatar agencies publish ranges from about QAR 1,500 for a basic site to QAR 20,000 or more for e-commerce and QAR 100,000+ for complex platforms (sources above). Your quote depends on scope.
Why do quotes differ so much? Agencies price different things: templates versus custom design, page counts, languages, features and support. Compare scope before price.
What are the yearly costs after launch? Sitemap publishes domain at QAR 50 to 500 and hosting at QAR 300 to 4,000+ a year. Ask about maintenance and support separately.
Is a Shopify or similar platform cheaper? Monthly fees are lower than an agency build, but you handle setup and running. Compare total cost over a year, including apps and transaction fees.
Do I need an Arabic version? That depends on your customers. Bilingual sites cost more because of right-to-left layouts and translation.

About the sources
Prices come from the agencies’ own pages (Sitemap, Expert Web, Creative Web Design Qatar) and Shopify’s pricing page, all checked 2026-09-29. Agency figures are published marketing ranges, not quotes, and may change. We did not verify them against invoices. Wix’s plan page showed location-dependent tax-inclusive prices, so we do not quote it. Provider details come from our directory records.
