Every website conversation starts with "how much?" — but that's the wrong first question. The right one is what is this site actually for, because that answer determines the type, the cost and the timeline.
First: which kind of site do you need?
In Egypt, most projects fall into four brackets with genuinely different costs:
1. E-commerce store (Shopify) — 14,000–18,000 EGP
If you're selling products and need to move fast, Shopify is the shortest path. You get a custom design, product upload, payment gateway and shipping integrations, basic SEO setup, and a training handover. Two to three weeks.
2. WordPress website — 16,000–24,000 EGP
Best for company and brochure sites. It includes hosting and domain for a full year, CMS training, and bilingual readiness. The point is you can update it yourself instead of calling a developer for every text change.
3. E-learning platform — 20,000 EGP
Courses, lessons, student accounts, progress tracking, payments and an instructor dashboard. Four to six weeks.
4. Custom-coded site with admin panel — 35,000–90,000 EGP
For business logic no template covers. Built from scratch with a bespoke dashboard, integrations and an architecture that scales.
The steps, in order
- Define the job — sell, inform, or capture leads? This changes everything downstream.
- Prepare content — the single biggest cause of delayed projects. Copy and images ready before build.
- Structure — which pages exist and how a visitor moves between them.
- Design — mobile first, because most of your Egyptian traffic is mobile.
- Build and integrate — payments, shipping, forms, analytics.
- Baseline SEO — titles, descriptions, speed and sitemap from day one.
- Test and launch — across real devices and browsers before going live.
What delays websites is rarely the code. It's the content.
Two things that quietly kill websites
Mobile speed and checkout friction. A beautiful slow site loses visitors before they read a word, and every extra checkout step costs orders you already paid to acquire.

How much does a website cost in Egypt?
It depends on the type. A Shopify store starts at 14,000 EGP, a WordPress site at 16,000 including hosting and domain for a year, a custom-coded site with an admin panel at 35,000, and an advanced Next.js platform at 150,000. The difference isn't looks — it's control and how far it can scale.
How long does it take?
A Shopify store takes 2–3 weeks, WordPress 2–4, a custom build 6–10 weeks. The real variable is usually your decision and content speed, not development speed.
Should I choose WordPress or custom?
If you need a brochure site or blog and want to edit content yourself, WordPress is faster and cheaper. If you have specific business logic, an admin panel, or integrations, custom saves money over time.
