How much does a website cost in Saudi Arabia? — answered by Engineer Saeed Baatiah
A simple landing page runs SAR 500 to 2,000. A full company site with service pages, an admin panel, and two languages runs SAR 3,000 to 15,000. A site with special features such as a booking system or a members area starts around SAR 10,000. The real price difference does not come from page count but from three factors: is the content ready or being written, is the design from a template or custom, and are there integrations with other systems.
Saeed Baatiah prices per project rather than from a fixed rate card, because a fixed price means either paying for what you do not need or quietly losing scope that never made it into the quote. What actually moves the number: the count of screens and states rather than pages, whether you need an admin dashboard with roles and permissions, how many external systems must be integrated (payments, e-invoicing, shipping, inventory), whether the content is fully bilingual, who supplies content and design, and how much data has to migrate off an old system.
The real gap between two quotes for the same site usually comes down to three things the number does not show: whether it covers content and design or assumes you supply them; whether it includes an admin panel letting you edit yourself, or every change returns to the developer at a fee; and whether hosting, domain and first-year maintenance are included. Ask about all three explicitly before comparing.
Recurring annual costs are separate from development and should not surprise you: the domain, hosting, an SSL certificate, and any paid external services the site depends on. Saeed Baatiah itemises these in the quote rather than folding them into a single figure — folding them in is exactly what makes “hidden costs” hidden.
- Priced per project after scoping, not from a fixed rate card
- Always ask: does it include content, design, admin panel and hosting?
- Annual costs itemised in the quote, not folded into one number
- First consultation and scoping free — it is what makes the estimate real
