There's no single answer to "how much does a website cost in Kenya" — the honest answer is "it depends on what you need it to do." A one-page launch site is very different from a 50-product e-commerce store, which is very different from a custom SaaS with M-Pesa subscriptions. This guide walks through each tier with real KES numbers.
Kenyan web pricing generally falls into four bands: freelancer/template (KES 15K – 80K), templated agency (KES 100K – 300K), custom agency (KES 450K – 1.5M), and custom app/e-commerce (KES 800K – 4.5M). Each band has genuine use cases; the mistake is paying for a band you don't need, or expecting the next band's quality at the previous band's price.
We sit in the top two bands — custom agency for marketing sites, custom build for apps and e-commerce. We won't quote a freelancer's price, and we won't take on a freelancer's brief. But we will tell you honestly when a freelancer or Wix template is the right answer — and point you to one if it saves you KES 500K.
