This is usually the first question business owners ask, and the honest answer is: it depends on what the website needs to do. That said, here's a realistic breakdown based on typical needs.
Simple websites (from TZS 350,000)
A 1-5 page site with mobile responsive design, a contact form, WhatsApp integration, Google Maps and basic SEO. This suits a shop, small service business, or anyone who mainly needs an online presence people can find and contact.
Business websites (from TZS 650,000)
Up to 10 pages with a custom design, a blog, a quotation form, SEO setup and Google Analytics. This fits a growing business that wants to look established and start showing up in search results.
Advanced sites (from TZS 1,000,000)
Custom functionality such as booking systems, online payments, or a content management system so you can update the site yourself. This is for businesses with more complex needs - hotels, e-commerce, or multi-service operations.
What else affects the price
- Number of pages and languages
- Whether you need a booking or payment system
- How much content (text, photos) is ready versus needs to be created
- Ongoing maintenance and support
