How much does a website cost in the Philippines in 2026? Real ranges, and what moves the price

A small business website in the Philippines costs ₱15,000 to ₱60,000 in 2026, going by the price guides Philippine agencies and freelancers publish. A single landing page runs ₱10,000 to ₱40,000, an online store or custom system starts around ₱80,000 and climbs past ₱400,000, and agency builds of any of these cost two to five times more. My own starting prices are ₱25,000 for a landing page, ₱45,000 for a business website and ₱150,000 for a custom CRM or web app. This guide shows where every one of those numbers comes from, so you can judge any quote you receive, including mine.

How much does a website cost in the Philippines in 2026?

The table below is built from the public pricing pages and cost guides of six Philippine web studios and agencies (WAZILE, Praferosa Web Works, JJSC IT Solutions, NetizenWorks, Qadra Studio and SEO.com.ph), checked on 10 September 2026, plus the promotional prices two more were advertising on Google search the same day. Where the guides disagree, the range is widened rather than averaged, because the disagreement is real: the same words describe very different jobs.

What you are buying	Published range, Philippines, 2026	What sets the low and high ends
Landing page (one page, one action)	₱10,000 – ₱40,000; agency builds ₱70,000 and up	A theme with your text dropped in, versus written copy, tracking and a design made for the offer
Small business website (5–7 pages)	₱15,000 – ₱60,000; agency builds ₱90,000 – ₱400,000	Template versus designed; who writes the words; whether you can edit it yourself
Online store	₱80,000 – ₱400,000 and up	Platform, number of products, payments, shipping rules
Custom system (CRM, booking, client portal)	₱100,000 – ₱500,000 and up	Screens, user roles, integrations, and how much of your process it has to carry
Monthly maintenance	₱3,000 – ₱12,000; agency retainers ₱25,000 and up	Hosting only, versus updates, backups, monitoring and small changes

Two things stand out. First, the cheapest published packages, ₱8,880 to ₱15,000 for a business website, are template builds: a WordPress or Wix theme with your text and photos dropped in, usually with the domain and hosting bundled for the first year. They are honest offers for what they are. Second, the ₱90,000-and-up agency quotes for the same five-page site are also honest: they include strategy workshops, copywriting, photography, a project manager and an account manager, whether or not you need those people.

Everything between those ends, roughly ₱25,000 to ₱60,000, is where independent studios and experienced freelancers price a business website that is designed and built for one business rather than assembled from a theme. That is the band most Philippine SMEs end up in, and it is where my prices sit.

Why do two quotes for "a website" differ by ten times?

Because "a website" is not one thing. When a clinic, a contractor and a restaurant each ask for "a website", they are asking for three different amounts of work. These are the items that move a quote most, roughly in order:

1. Who writes the words

Editing your draft into headlines, sections and a clear offer costs little. Writing everything from a blank page, after interviewing you and your customers, costs a lot, and it is the part most SMEs underestimate. If a quote is low and you have no text ready, ask who is writing it.

2. Pages, screens and user roles

A five-page site and a twenty-page site are not the same job. A system where staff log in with different permissions, or where customers see their own records, is a different category again. That is where quotes jump from tens of thousands of pesos to hundreds of thousands.

3. Payments, bookings and integrations

Accepting GCash, Maya or cards through PayMongo, taking bookings against a live calendar, or syncing with your accounting or inventory software each add real work and real testing. Each integration is typically a five-figure line on its own.

4. Photos and video

If you have good photos, you save money. If you do not, either budget for a photographer or accept that stock photos make a business look like every other business. Agencies bundle photography; studios and freelancers usually quote it separately or leave it to you.

5. Whether you can edit it yourself

A site your team can update without calling a developer costs a little more to build and much less to run. A site where every text change is a paid request looks cheaper on the quote and costs more by the end of the year.

6. How fast you need it

Two weeks instead of six means either someone drops other work or the scope is cut. Either way the price moves.

7. Who is actually doing the work

An agency quote pays for a team, including the people who will never touch your site. A solo senior engineer's quote pays for one person's time. A ₱10,000 quote pays for a few hours. None of these is wrong, but you should know which one you are buying, which is the next section.

Template builder, freelancer, one-engineer studio or agency: what are you paying for?

Who builds it	Typical price for a business website	What you get	Watch out for
Do-it-yourself builder (Wix, Squarespace, Canva, Shopify)	₱600 – ₱2,500 a month, for as long as the site exists	Templates, hosting and an editor, in a weekend	Monthly fees that never end; slow on mobile data; hard to move away from; your own time
Template package from a small shop	₱8,000 – ₱15,000	A theme with your content in it, domain and hosting for a year	Renewal prices; passwords not in your name; no one to call in year two
Freelancer	₱15,000 – ₱60,000	One person, direct contact, flexible	Quality varies widely; availability after launch; ask to see live sites
One-engineer studio (this is me)	₱25,000 – ₱150,000 depending on scope	A senior engineer who designs, builds and supports it; a fixed written quote; accounts in your name	One person's calendar; not the right fit for a 40-page corporate site with a photo shoot
Agency	₱90,000 – ₱400,000 and up	A team: strategy, copy, design, development, project management	You pay for the whole team; changes go through an account manager; retainers

The right-hand column matters more than the price column. A ₱12,000 site that you cannot log into, on a domain registered in someone else's name, costs far more than ₱12,000 when that person stops answering. A ₱300,000 agency site is a fine purchase for a company with a marketing department to brief it, and a poor one for a three-person clinic.

What does a website cost per month after it launches?

Most quotes only show the build. The running costs are small, but they are real, and you should know them before you sign.

• Domain name. Roughly ₱600 to ₱1,500 a year for a .com, and ₱1,500 to ₱3,500 a year for a .ph or .com.ph. It should be registered in your business name, on an account you control.
• Hosting. A modern business website can run on free or near-free hosting tiers; this site does. Older WordPress builds need a paid host at roughly ₱200 to ₱1,500 a month. Online stores and custom systems need more, usually ₱1,500 to ₱5,000 a month including the database.
• Business email. A few hundred pesos per user per month on Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. Often the item SMEs forget to budget.
• Security certificate. Free. Anyone charging for SSL in 2026 is charging for nothing.
• Payment fees. GCash, Maya and card payments through a gateway such as PayMongo cost roughly two to four percent of each transaction. They are deducted from the payment, not billed to you.
• Maintenance. ₱3,000 to ₱12,000 a month for updates, backups, monitoring and small changes, from the published ranges above. Mine is ₱8,000 a month, or ₱12,000 with a monthly search and inquiry report. Agencies charge retainers from ₱25,000. You can also pay nothing and call someone when it breaks, which works until it does not.

A typical small business site therefore costs ₱1,000 to ₱3,000 a month to keep alive with no one looking after it, and ₱10,000 to ₱15,000 a month with someone who is.

What should be included in any quote?

Whatever the price, a quote you can trust includes all of these in writing:

• The pages or screens being built, listed one by one
• Who provides text and photos, and by when
• Domain, hosting and email set up in your name, with the passwords handed over
• What happens after launch: a fix window, and what maintenance costs
• Correct page titles, a sitemap and Google Search Console connected, so the site can be found
• A fixed price, not an estimate, and a payment schedule

If a quote is missing any of these, the missing item is where the extra cost will appear later.

How do you compare website quotes fairly?

1. Write down what you need in one paragraph before asking anyone, and send the same paragraph to everyone. Different briefs produce different quotes, and then you are comparing nothing.
2. Ask each provider what is not included. The answers differ more than the prices do.
3. Ask who will do the work and who you will talk to. If those are different people, ask how a change you request on Tuesday reaches the person building it.
4. Ask what you own at the end. Domain, hosting, code and content should all be yours, on accounts you can log into today.
5. Ask for one past site you can open on your phone right now, on mobile data, and open it. If it takes more than three seconds to show anything, that is your answer.
6. Ask what happens in month thirteen: renewal prices, maintenance, and who answers the phone.

What I charge, and why

What	Starting price	Typical timeline
Landing page	₱25,000	Under a week once copy and images are in hand
Business website	₱45,000	Two to four weeks
Custom CRM or web app	₱150,000	Four to eight weeks, shipped in weekly demos
Website rescue	₱10,000 for a written verdict, then maintenance from ₱8,000 a month	Verdict within three working days
Get found on Google	₱15,000 as an add-on to a new site, ₱20,000 on an existing one	One to two weeks, then a written report

These sit above the template end because the work is designed and built for your business by a senior engineer (the four-country marketing platform and NudgeNow show what that looks like in production), and below the agency end because there is no team to pay for. Every project gets a written fixed quote after a short call, half is paid on approval and half on launch, and the quote is what you pay. The full breakdown, what moves the price, and what every quote includes are on the pricing page.
