A bilingual business website in Saudi Arabia costs from about SAR 3,500 for a five-to-eight page site, SAR 8,000 and up for an online store, and SAR 15,000 or more for anything with custom software behind it. Page count, Arabic copywriting, integrations and photography move the figure; templates and "free" builders move it in ways you only see later.
Owners ask this before anything else, and most agencies answer with "it depends". It does depend, but not on mysteries. Here are the ranges we quote, what changes them, and what a low price usually leaves out.
The ranges in 2026
| What you need | Typical range | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Business website, 5 to 8 pages, Arabic and English | SAR 3,500 to 7,000 | 2 to 4 weeks |
| Online store with local payments and shipping rules | SAR 8,000 to 20,000 | 4 to 8 weeks |
| Website with custom software behind it (portals, booking, dashboards) | SAR 15,000 and up | 6 to 12 weeks |
| Redesign and speed work on an existing site | SAR 2,500 to 6,000 | 1 to 3 weeks |
These are starting figures, not the number on every invoice. Every quote we send is itemised, so you see what each line costs and can remove the ones you do not need.
What moves the price
- Arabic copy written properly. A machine translation of English copy is cheap and reads like one. Native Arabic copywriting adds cost and is the single biggest difference in how a Saudi customer trusts the site.
- Page count and page types. A services page and a booking flow are not the same amount of work. Eight plain pages cost less than four complex ones.
- Integrations. Payment gateways, WhatsApp booking, a CRM, Google Business Profile, a stock system. Each one is a real piece of work and should appear as its own line.
- Photography and design assets. Stock imagery is fine for some businesses and wrong for a clinic or a restaurant. Budget for a half-day shoot if customers need to see the place.
What a low price usually leaves out
A SAR 1,200 website exists. It is usually a template with your logo dropped in, hosted on a shared overseas server, with no Arabic version and no one answering when it goes down. The cost arrives later as a rebuild, a lost month of enquiries, or a hosting bill that quietly doubles.
Ask any quote three questions: who owns the site when we are done, where is it hosted, and what happens after launch. If the answers are vague, the price is not the real price.
What happens after launch
A website is not finished at launch; it is started. Hosting, backups, security updates and small content changes continue every month. We include managed hosting inside the Kingdom from SAR 49 a month, and a care plan if you want someone to make changes for you. Whatever you choose, make sure it is written down before the site goes live.
