Questions

Frequently asked questions

How much does a website cost in Lebanon in 2026?

Across the Lebanese market, expect roughly $500 to $1,500 for a freelancer building on a template, $2,000 to $5,000 for a small agency doing custom design, and $8,000 upwards for a custom platform. Our own pricing sits in that middle band: $1,200 for a starter site, $3,000 to $7,000 for a business site with SEO, and $8,000 and up for custom web applications.

Why do quotes for the same website vary so much?

Because the word "website" covers a template with your logo on it and a custom application that runs part of your business. The honest differences are: whether the design is bought or made for you, whether performance and SEO are built in or sold later, whether the content is written or you supply it, whether it is bilingual, and who is available when something breaks a year later. A cheap quote is not always a bad deal, but it is always a different deal.

Do you ask for payment up front?

Standard terms are 50 percent to start and 50 percent on launch. For larger projects we split it across milestones so payment tracks progress you can see on the staging link. We invoice in US dollars.

Are there ongoing costs after launch?

Hosting and the domain, which run about $100 to $300 a year for a typical business site and are paid to the provider in your own name, not to us. A care plan for updates, backups, monitoring and small changes is optional and runs $80 to $250 a month. A site we build will keep working without a care plan; it just will not be watched by anyone.

What if my budget is smaller than these numbers?

Tell us the budget and what the site has to achieve. Sometimes the answer is a smaller first phase that does one job properly and grows later, which is usually better value than a large site done cheaply. Sometimes the honest answer is that we are the wrong studio for the budget, and we would rather say that in the first email than six weeks in.

Is the price fixed or does it change during the project?

Fixed. The quote follows a written scope, and that scope is what we build for that price. If you ask for something outside it mid-project we price the addition separately and you decide before we start it. You will not receive a surprise invoice at handover.

Want a number for your specific project?

Send a short description and you will get a written scope with a fixed price, usually the same day. No discovery call required first.
