How much does a website cost in Malaysia? (2026 guide)
The honest answer: RM0 to RM20,000+, depending on what you actually need. Here's every tier explained — so you can match your budget to the right solution before you talk to a single agency.
If you've searched "berapa harga buat website" or "website cost Malaysia" and got wildly different answers from different agencies, you're not alone. The range is genuinely wide — from free DIY tools to RM20,000 custom builds — and every answer is technically correct depending on what's included.
This guide breaks down every pricing tier honestly, including what you get, what you don't, and where each tier makes sense for a Malaysian business.
The quick summary (2026 prices)
| Type | Price Range | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| DIY website builder Wix, Shopify, Carrd | RM0 – RM150/yr | Hobby, side project, very early testing |
| 1-page landing page Agency-built, custom design | RM599 – RM1,200 | Promo pages, campaigns, simple services |
| 5-page business website Home, About, Services, Portfolio, Contact | RM999 – RM2,500 | SMEs, service businesses, F&B, clinics |
| E-commerce store WooCommerce / Shopify, product pages | RM899 – RM5,000 | Online stores, wholesale catalogs |
| Custom build Booking system, CRM, custom features | RM3,000 – RM15,000 | Complex requirements, portals, integrations |
| Enterprise Full system, API, multi-language | RM15,000+ | Large organisations, government, franchise |
Tier 1 — DIY website builders (RM0–RM150/year)
Tools: Wix, Shopify Free, Carrd, Google Sites.
Free plans exist, but come with a branded subdomain (e.g. yourbusiness.wixsite.com) and ads. Paid plans remove these and cost roughly RM50–150/year. For a very early-stage business testing a concept, this makes sense. For an established business trying to look professional, it doesn't.
The hidden cost: your time. A Wix site that looks halfway decent requires 20–40 hours of design decisions, photo sourcing, copy-writing, and troubleshooting. That's real money at any hourly rate.
SEO limitation: DIY builders generate bloated code that loads slowly. Page speed is one of Google's ranking factors. A Wix site regularly scores 30–50 on Google's PageSpeed test. A properly built static site scores 90–100. This directly affects how often Google shows you versus a faster competitor.
Tier 2 — 1-page landing page (RM599–RM1,200)
A single focused page covering one product, service, or campaign. No navigation, no blog. Just: what you do, why choose you, how to contact you.
This is the right choice if:
- You're running a Google Ads or Meta Ads campaign and need a dedicated landing page
- You offer one clear service and don't need to explain much else
- You want something live quickly — a good agency can deliver this in 3–5 days
At nexweb, our 1-page landing package starts at RM599 and includes custom design, mobile optimisation, SEO setup, WhatsApp button, and free domain + hosting for the first year.
Tier 3 — 5-page business website (RM999–RM2,500)
The most common type of website for Malaysian SMEs. Typically covers: Home, About, Services, Portfolio/Gallery, and Contact. This is what most businesses actually need.
What RM999 gets you from a proper agency:
- Custom design (not a template with your logo slapped on)
- Up to 5 pages, mobile-first layout
- On-page SEO setup (title tags, meta descriptions, schema markup)
- WhatsApp integration
- Free domain and hosting for the first year
- Delivered in 5–7 days
Be cautious of agencies quoting RM300–500 for a "5-page website." At that price point, you're getting a WordPress theme with minimal customisation, stock photos, and no SEO work — a website that looks like every competitor's site and doesn't rank for anything.
At nexweb, our 5-page website package is RM999 flat. See full pricing details.
Tier 4 — E-commerce website (RM899–RM5,000)
Pricing for online stores varies the most because "e-commerce" covers everything from 10 products to 10,000 SKUs with payment gateways, shipping integrations, and inventory management.
RM899–1,500: A WooCommerce store with up to 20 products, payment gateway (FPX, credit card), basic shipping setup. Suitable for small businesses selling a limited product range — food brands, craft sellers, small clothing lines.
RM2,000–5,000: More products (50–200), advanced filters, variation management (size, colour), discount codes, abandoned cart recovery, and integration with third-party logistics.
RM5,000+: Marketplace features, subscription billing, B2B pricing tiers, API integrations with warehouse management systems.
Most Malaysian SMEs starting out online need the RM899–1,500 tier. Don't overbuild at the start — you can always add features as the store grows.
Tier 5 — Custom build (RM3,000–RM15,000)
Custom builds are for businesses with specific requirements that off-the-shelf solutions can't handle. Examples:
- A clinic that needs an appointment booking system integrated with their patient management software
- A property agency that needs a searchable listings portal with filters
- A franchise that needs a multi-location site with each branch's own contact page
- A training company that needs a members-only portal with video access
The price scales with complexity. A booking form that syncs to Google Calendar is RM3,000. A full booking system with staff assignment, automated reminders and payment collection is RM8,000–12,000.
What's not included in most website quotes
Read agency quotes carefully. These items are often excluded and add to the total:
- Domain name — typically RM60–100/year for a .com.my. Some agencies include year 1; check if renewals are at their markup or yours.
- Hosting — RM200–500/year for shared hosting. Premium hosting with daily backups and CDN runs higher.
- Professional photography — stock photos are free; a product or team shoot adds RM500–2,000.
- Copywriting — if you're supplying the text, no cost. If the agency writes it, add RM300–800 per page.
- Annual maintenance — security updates, backups, uptime monitoring. Ranges from RM350 to RM1,500/year.
- SEO ongoing — a one-time setup is included in most packages; monthly SEO management is separate (RM500–2,000/month).
Why do prices vary so much between agencies?
Three main reasons:
1. Template vs. custom design. Agencies using off-the-shelf WordPress themes do significantly less work. You get a recognisable theme with your logo. Agencies building from scratch (or from their own design system) spend 3–5× more hours.
2. Included vs. bolt-on SEO. Some agencies build a site and hand it over. Others set up proper schema markup, title tags, sitemaps, Google Search Console, and a robots.txt that actually lets Google in. The second group delivers a site that can rank. The first delivers a site that exists.
3. After-launch support. What happens when something breaks three months later? A RM400 site from a one-person operation may have no answer. A proper package includes a support window and SLA.
What should you actually pay?
For a typical Malaysian SME — a restaurant, clinic, moving company, service provider, or product brand — a 5-page business website at RM999–1,500 from a proper agency hits the sweet spot. It's enough to look professional, rank on Google, and convert visitors to WhatsApp leads.
Spend less and you risk getting something that looks cheap or can't be found on Google. Spend significantly more at the early stage and you're paying for features you may not need yet.
