So how much does a website cost?
The short answer: there is no single price, because the price follows what your business needs. A brochure site for a shop or small office is one thing; a company site with bookings, a store or a custom dashboard is another. The better question is "what do I need, and what does that cost?"
Here are our own prices at Hook Marketing, stated plainly:
| Type of site | Price |
|---|---|
| Small-business website (shop, clinic, office, service) | from 990 SAR (about $265) |
| Company website with custom systems (booking, orders, dashboard…) | $500 to $1,000 depending on features |
| Monthly support (separate from the site price) | Basic 199 / Growth 399 / Dominance 799 SAR |
These are starting prices. The final quote depends on your project.
What drives the price?
- Pages. Each page needs design, copy and SEO setup. Separate pages per service are what let you rank for each service, so they are not a luxury if you want leads.
- Languages. An Arabic and English site needs copy written for each language (not machine-translated), right-to-left and left-to-right layouts, and separate URLs so Google indexes both properly.
- Template or custom. Templates are faster and cheaper. Custom design costs more but gives you a distinct look, faster pages and full control over SEO.
- Systems and features. This is the biggest swing: booking or availability calendars, a store with checkout, forms that reach your email or WhatsApp, an admin panel, integrations with a WhatsApp bot. That is why we price company sites by features.
- Copywriting. Many cheap quotes assume you write the text yourself. The text is what customers, Google and AI assistants read.
- Search readiness. Titles and descriptions per page, Schema, a sitemap, Google Search Console and mobile speed should ship on day one. We cover this in how to rank first on Google and how to appear in ChatGPT and Gemini.
What does it cost after launch?
| Item | Recurring? | What to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Domain | Yearly | Is it registered in your name? |
| Hosting and SSL | Yearly or monthly | Included in support or separate? |
| Edits | As needed | How many are included? |
| Content and SEO | Monthly, if you want growth | How many articles, and how is progress measured? |
The one non-negotiable: the domain should be registered in your name. If the agency owns it and the relationship ends, you can lose your address and everything you built on Google.
How to compare two quotes
Ask each agency the same questions: how many pages and languages, is copywriting included, is the site set up for Google, whose name is the domain in, what does support include, and where are their live sites? A cheap quote missing half of these often costs more within a year. We list more questions in how to choose a web design company in Jordan.
We keep the site price and monthly support separate because clients need different things after launch: some want the site renewed and maintained, others want monthly articles and reports. You pay for the site once and pick the support level that fits.
