How much does a website cost in Malaysia? (2026 honest guide)

Ask three companies what a website costs and you'll get three wildly different numbers. That's confusing — and it's how some agencies overcharge. Here's an honest breakdown for a typical small-business website in Malaysia in 2026.

The honest price ranges

• • Cheap freelancer: RM 500–1,500 — fast and cheap, but quality and reliability vary, and they often disappear after.
• • Boutique studio (like us): RM 888–1,888 one-time + a small monthly fee for hosting & support.
• • Traditional agency: RM 3,000–5,000+ for a basic site, with monthly retainers of RM 300–800.
• • Big agency / custom build: RM 10,000–30,000+ — only worth it for large companies with complex needs.

Why agencies charge RM 3,000–5,000

It's usually not the website itself — it's overhead. Account managers, designers, developers, offices, and long timelines all get baked into the price. For a 5-page small-business site, you're paying for the agency's structure, not extra value on your screen.

What you should actually be paying for

• • A site that loads fast and looks great on phones (where most of your customers are).
• • Copywriting and images included — not billed as extras.
• • A WhatsApp button and clear ways for customers to contact you.
• • Basic SEO so people can find you on Google.
• • Ongoing hosting, security, and someone to call when something breaks.

Watch out for hidden costs

The sticker price is rarely the full story. Before you commit, ask: Is hosting included? Who owns the website — me or you? What's the cost to make a change later? Is there a long contract? Honest providers answer these clearly; the ones who dodge are the ones to avoid.

Our pricing, plainly

We keep it simple: RM 888 for a 3-page site, RM 1,288 for our most popular 5-page package, RM 1,888 for a 7-page site with a blog — plus RM 88/month for hosting, security, and support. You own the site, there's no long contract, and copy and images are included. That's the whole price.
