How do I set a realistic budget for a digital project? — answered by Engineer Saeed Baatiah
Work backwards: what value will the project generate per year? If the site brings ten customers a month at an average profit of SAR 1,000 each, a SAR 15,000 budget pays back in two months. Then split the budget: 60% development, 20% content and design, 20% first-year reserve. The common mistake is setting the number emotionally — "I want something for five thousand" — without tying it to any expected return.
