IWORQS GUIDES / PLANNING & PRICING

Website cost in Lebanon: compare scope, not just a number

At IWORQS, a landing page starts at $300, a business website at $1,200 and an online store at $1,800. These are starting prices for different scopes, not interchangeable packages or an estimate of every agency’s fees.

Choose the job before the package

A landing page suits one focused offer and a direct enquiry journey. A business website needs room for the company, its services, proof and contact routes. A store adds products, variants, cart, checkout and order operations. If staff roles, approval rules, customer accounts or a custom operational workflow drive the brief, an application may be the better starting point.

Our published starting points also include custom web applications from $4,500, UX/UI design from $200 and graphic or logo design from $150. A design deliverable is different from a developed website. The proposal should say which screens, implementation work and handover files are included.

What changes the quote?

Count page types and functions as well as pages. Ten pages using one existing layout are a different task from ten individually designed journeys. A searchable catalogue, booking flow, multilingual editorial process, legacy content migration or integration with a business system can change the effort more than the number of pages.

Content readiness matters. Agree who supplies and checks text, photography, product information and translations. For Arabic and English, decide which content is translated, who maintains each version and how navigation, forms and right-to-left layouts will be checked. Do not assume that installing a language switch completes this work.

Separate the build from running costs

Our starting project prices are in USD and exclude applicable taxes. Hosting, domains, paid software, platform subscriptions, payment-provider fees and ongoing services are separate unless included in writing. A useful quote identifies who owns each account, who pays each provider and what renews after the first year.

Website Care starts at $39/month for an agreed supported scope. Website Manage starts at $149/month and includes a defined allowance for supplied content and product work. A client can choose care for a suitable website built by another team. These plans maintain an existing scope; they do not replace a new-feature or redesign budget.

Compare a concrete example

For a service business, compare a landing page with a business website by asking whether visitors need separate service explanations, project examples and navigation. For a retailer, first list products, variants, shipping areas and payment requirements. Then compare the store scope with the actual catalogue and operational needs. Starting with those decisions produces a more useful estimate than asking for an unlimited website.

Before accepting a quote, ask for deliverables, content responsibilities, integrations, revision boundaries, launch checks, account ownership and post-launch support. Clarify how changes outside the agreed scope are estimated. Our pricing page is the current reference for published starting prices; the written proposal confirms the final work.
