Let’s be honest, trying to figure out the approximate cost of a website in Kenya is a bit of a wild guess. One person says Ksh 20,000, and the other says Ksh 200,000. Who does one believe?
In reality, both can be right. It will ultimately come down to what you envision your website doing for your business. At Chochabyte, we have designed every type of website from a portfolio site to a fully functional eCommerce site. Below is what goes into figuring out the price.
1. Basic website ( Ksh 25,000 – 60,000)

Typically you will get:
- 3 to 5 pages (Home, About, Services, Contact)
