Cheap website in Cameroon: what you really get for your money

A cheap website can be a great choice to get started, as long as you check four things: the domain is in your name, hosting and backups are included, the site is fast on phones, and it can grow. Between 60,000 and 150,000 FCFA you get a clean, simple site; below that, the compromises become risky. Read the guide →

After it’s built, a business website usually costs 30,000 to 150,000 FCFA a year for domain, hosting and SSL, plus maintenance if it runs on WordPress or is a store (10,000 to 100,000 FCFA a month depending on the service level).

Freelancer, web agency or DIY: who should build your site in Cameroon?

Doing it yourself suits a tiny budget and someone with time. A freelancer works for a simple site if you check their past work and keep your logins. An agency or studio is better as soon as the site must bring clients, integrate payments or tools, and be looked after over time. Read the guide →

Website quotes: how to read them and avoid the traps

A good website quote states the number of pages, included features, who writes the copy, the timeline, number of revisions, renewal prices (domain, hosting), ownership of the domain and code, and the payment schedule. Be wary of a one-line quote with no timeline or conditions. Read the guide →

Website: expense or investment? How to calculate your ROI

A website is an investment if it brings in more than it costs. To check, multiply visitors by conversion rate and by client value, then compare with the total cost over one or two years. For most SMEs, two to five extra clients a month are enough to pay back a professional website in under a year. Read the guide →

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a showcase website cost in Cameroon?

Plan 100,000 to 250,000 FCFA for a simple 1 to 5 page site, and 280,000 to 750,000 FCFA for a custom showcase site with copywriting and basic SEO.

Can I get a free website in Cameroon?

Yes, with tools like Google Sites or free website-builder plans, but the address includes the tool’s name, design is limited and it looks unprofessional for a business.

Do I pay for the domain every year?

Yes. A domain is rented yearly. If it isn’t renewed it is deactivated, then can be bought by someone else.

Is a freelancer cheaper than an agency?

Often, on the initial quote. But if the freelancer becomes unavailable, having someone else take over the site can cost more than you saved.

What deposit is normal for a website?

40 to 50% on order is common. The balance is paid on delivery or launch. Paying 100% upfront is risky.

How long until a website pays for itself?

It depends on your sector and visibility. With good local SEO or advertising, many SMEs recover their investment within three to twelve months.
