Curious how much a website costs in Uganda in 2025? Here’s a local breakdown of pricing, what influences cost and how to choose the right package.

You’re searching: “How much does a website cost in Uganda?” But answers vary widely; UGX 300,000 to UGX 5 million or more. It’s confusing. This guide will break it down clearly, help you understand what influences cost, and how to pick the right website package for your Ugandan business.

Exploring The Costs Of Web Design In Uganda

Price Tiers & What You Get

Basic Package (UGX ~600,000)

Ideal for startups, sole-traders or small service providers. Typically includes: a 5-7 page responsive website, domain & hosting for first year, contact form, social links, basic SEO setup.

Premium Package (UGX ~1.2 m)

For established businesses. More pages (10-15), better visuals, custom UX/UI, advanced SEO, maybe e-commerce or blog integration.

Custom Projects (UGX ~2 m+)

Large scale, complex websites: online stores with hundreds of products, booking systems, custom integrations, multilingual support, ongoing support.

What Affects Website Cost?

  • Number of pages/services: More pages = more design & development time.

  • Custom design vs template: Fully bespoke design costs more.

  • Functionality & integrations: E-commerce, payments, bookings, custom scripts add cost.

  • Hosting, domain, ongoing support: These can add cost if included or separately billed.

  • SEO and optimisation: Basic vs advanced optimisation affects cost and value.

  • Local agency vs overseas: Working local (in Kampala/Uganda) often gives better value, local understanding and support.

How to Choose Smartly

  • Compare what’s included, not just price.

  • Ask for portfolio and local examples.

  • Ensure clarity: domain, hosting, maintenance—who pays after first year?

  • Check for mobile-first design (important in Uganda).

  • Avoid agents who quote very low without showing deliverables or portfolio

Price should not be your only decision factor. A cheap website without mobile-friendliness, fast load, or easy content update will cost you more in lost customers. Choose value, reliability and local support.
