If you run a business in Sri Lanka and you’ve been thinking about getting a website, the first question on your mind is probably: how much will it cost me?
It’s a fair question — and one that’s surprisingly hard to get a straight answer to. Prices range wildly depending on who you ask. So let’s break it down honestly.
Freelancers are the cheapest option. You’ll find many on Facebook groups and Fiverr offering websites for as little as LKR 15,000.
The catch? Quality and reliability vary enormously. Some freelancers do great work. Others disappear after taking payment, leave you with no support, or build something that breaks on mobile phones. If you go this route, ask to see their previous work and read reviews carefully.
A professional agency costs more but delivers a complete service: custom design, mobile optimization, SEO setup, ongoing support, and someone to call when something goes wrong.
At WebifyLanka, our websites start at LKR 49,000 for a 5-page starter site, going up to LKR 175,000 for a premium custom build. This includes hosting, a domain, and support — so there are no surprise costs later.
Platforms like Wix and Squarespace let you build your own site for a monthly fee. This works if you have the time and patience to learn, but most business owners find it eats hours they don’t have — and the results often look generic.
For most small Sri Lankan businesses, a professional website that actually brings in customers costs between LKR 55,000 and LKR 99,000 as a one-time investment. Think of it as a salesperson that works 24/7 — it pays for itself quickly.
