“How much for a website?” is the first question every Malaysian business owner asks. The honest answer: it depends on what you need. Here is a transparent breakdown of real 2025 costs. Start with our guide on this topic.
Brochure & landing-page sites
A simple 1-5 page site to establish presence typically runs RM800-RM2,500, including a basic .MY domain and shared hosting setup. Ideal for new SMEs that just need to be found online.
Business & WordPress sites
A full WordPress site with custom pages, blog, contact forms and basic SEO sits around RM2,500-RM6,000. You own the site, can edit it yourself, and it scales as you grow.
E-commerce & custom builds
WooCommerce or custom web apps with payment gateways, inventory and member areas start around RM6,000 and up, depending on features. Ongoing hosting and maintenance are separate, recurring costs to budget for. See also our sme web design insights.
