How much does it cost to design a website in Ghana?+
Between GHS 2,000 and GHS 15,000 for most businesses, depending on what the site has to do. A one to three page site built around a single action costs GHS 2,000 to 3,500. A business site with a blog and self editing costs GHS 4,500 to 6,000. An online store with Mobile Money and card payments costs GHS 6,000 to 9,000. Anything with logins, bookings or dashboards is a custom build from GHS 9,000, quoted after a scoping call.
How much should a website cost to develop?+
The honest answer is that the number depends on three things: how many distinct page types there are, whether it takes payments, and what it has to connect to. Page count alone is a poor guide. A site quoted purely on pages is usually a template with your logo on it. Ask what is included at each price and whether the person quoting will be the person building.
How much does it cost to pay someone to design a website?+
In Ghana, published agency prices for a basic site run from roughly GHS 800 to GHS 3,500, and for a full business site from GHS 3,500 to GHS 7,000. Our Starter tier is GHS 2,000 to 3,500 and includes custom design, hosting, SSL and testing on real phones. The lower end of the market generally means a template, shared hosting, and nobody to call after launch.
What is included in the price?+
Everything listed under the tier, with no add on charges for the items shown. Design, build, hosting, SSL, testing, the stated revision rounds, and post launch support where listed. Not included in any tier: copywriting, photography, the domain fee, logo design, payment gateway charges, and ongoing SEO or advertising. Those are stated on the page so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Can I pay with MTN MoMo?+
Yes. Bank transfer, MTN MoMo and card are all accepted. Payment is 60% to start, or the full amount if you prefer, and the remaining 40% when the finished site is approved. The site goes live on your domain and the logins are handed over the day the balance clears. International clients can pay in USD or GBP by transfer.
Why does a business need a website?+
Because it is the one channel you own. Strangers who search Google for what you sell find websites, not Instagram accounts or WhatsApp numbers. A stranger deciding whether to send money looks for one before they do. Payments, bookings and orders need somewhere to happen that does not depend on one person answering a chat. And a page that ranks this year still ranks next year, where a post is gone from the feed in a day. If your customers all come by referral and your orders fit in a chat, you may not need one yet. The moment strangers start searching, you do.
What happens if the final balance is not paid?+
The site stays on our staging address, where it was built and approved, and the launch date moves until the balance is settled. Nothing you own is withheld: the domain is yours and the content is yours. What is not handed over is the finished work that has not yet been paid for. Once the balance clears, launch and handover happen the same day. This is stated here so it never has to be a conversation.
Who owns the website when it is finished?+
You do. The code, the domain, the hosting account and every login are in your name and handed over with documentation the day the final balance clears and the site goes live. If you leave a care plan, the site and its code go with you. A site you cannot take elsewhere is a rental, not an asset.
How long does a website take to build?+
A Starter site takes 5 to 7 days. A Business website takes 2 to 3 weeks. An Online store takes 3 to 5 weeks. Custom builds are scheduled at scoping. The most common cause of delay on every tier is content arriving late, which is why copy and images are agreed before design starts.
