Website development costs in Islamabad
A small business website in Islamabad costs PKR 25,000 to 80,000 from a freelancer and PKR 100,000 to 350,000 from an agency. Running costs add PKR 8,000 to 20,000 a year for domain and hosting. Our Business bundle from PKR 25,000 a month builds and hosts the site instead.

What these numbers actually mean
The build price is the smaller half of the decision. A PKR 30,000 site that nobody can find is more expensive than a PKR 120,000 site that appears when somebody in G-11 searches for what you sell, because the first one has to be replaced and the second one earns. Ask any developer what they are doing about search before you ask what they are charging. If the answer is 'we will add SEO later', it is a brochure, and you should price it as one.
Own the assets before you pay the invoice. The domain should be registered in your name with your email, hosting should be an account you can log into, and you should get the files. Half the recovery jobs we take on in the twin cities start with a shop owner who cannot change their own phone number on their own website because a developer who has moved to Dubai holds the login. This costs nothing to prevent and a lot to fix.
For a shop or clinic, the monthly route usually beats the one-off build. A PKR 150,000 build leaves you with a site, no Google Business Profile, no posts and nobody watching whether anything works. Our Business bundle from PKR 25,000 a month builds and hosts the site, sets up and posts to the profile weekly, and runs social on one or two platforms — which is what actually brings someone to the door, rather than a beautiful page nobody visits.

Where do these figures come from?
Quotes observed across Islamabad and Rawalpindi web developers and studios, 2026. Registrar and hosting prices observed by Islamabad Digital Marketing, 2026. Everything is dated so you can see how current it is, and we update the tables rather than quietly leaving old numbers up.
Is advertising budget included in any of these prices?
No. Wherever a management or service fee is quoted here, ad spend is separate and paid directly to the platform. We never mark up an ad budget and neither should anyone else.
