“How much does a website cost?” is the first question almost every business owner asks — and the answer in Malaysia ranges from a few hundred ringgit to tens of thousands. That range is unhelpful, so let’s make it concrete.
Here is exactly what HaikaiTech Solutions charges, what you get at each price, and what actually drives the cost up or down.
The short answer
In Malaysia (2026), a professionally built business website typically costs:
| Website type | Typical market range |
|---|---|
| DIY builder (Wix, Squarespace) | RM600–RM2,000/year |
| One-page site / landing page | RM800–RM2,500 |
| Basic business website (3–5 pages) | RM1,500–RM5,000 |
| SME corporate website (6–10 pages) | RM4,000–RM12,000 |
| E-commerce store | RM8,000–RM25,000 |
| Custom web app / portal | RM25,000+ |
Ranges are typical for the Malaysian market; the exact price tracks scope, customisation, and who builds it.
Where we sit in that market:
- A one-time business website: from RM1,500.
- A fully managed website: RM199/month (12-month minimum, no large upfront payment).
- A company profile document: RM800–RM1,200.
Those are the packaged numbers we publish because we think pricing should be public and boring. Below is what sits behind them.
The two ways to work (and the price difference)
The biggest cost decision isn’t about pages — it’s about who maintains the website after launch.
Own it outright: Website Siap, from RM1,500
You pay once, you own the website, and you (or a future developer) manage it yourself. For RM1,500 you get a professional, mobile-responsive site with up to 5 pages, WhatsApp integration, a contact form, Google Maps, Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console setup, basic SEO, SSL, and deployment.
After launch there’s an optional annual renewal of RM350/year, which covers domain renewal, hosting, SSL, and basic technical maintenance. Content updates are billed separately (usually RM50–RM250 depending on scope).
Hand it to us: Business Website Plan, RM199/month
The managed plan bundles everything — website, hosting, domain (if required), SSL, security monitoring, regular backups, small content updates, and technical support — into one RM199/month subscription. There’s a 12-month minimum and no large upfront payment.
It suits owners who don’t want to think about hosting renewals, security patches, or “small updates” ever again.

What actually changes the price
Beyond the package, five things move a website quote in Malaysia:
| Factor | Typical impact |
|---|---|
| Number of pages | RM150–RM250 per additional page |
| Extra language (BM/English) | From RM500 |
| Blog or CMS so you can publish yourself | From RM500 |
| Professional copywriting | Quotation |
| Logo design | From RM300 |
| Google Business Profile setup | RM300 |
| Business email setup | RM150 |
| Migrating an existing site | Quotation |
These add-ons are charged transparently, so a quote you receive is a quote you can trust — no surprises on the final invoice.
Hidden costs to watch out for
Every website has a life after launch. In Malaysia, these running costs get missed:
| Ongoing cost | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Domain renewal | RM40–RM80/year |
| Hosting | RM120–RM600/year (shared), more for VPS |
| SSL certificate | Free–RM300/year (often bundled with hosting) |
| Maintenance & updates | RM50–RM500/month if outsourced |
So a RM1,500 one-time site realistically costs RM300–RM800/year to keep alive — budget the build fee plus running costs, not just the sticker price.
That’s why our Website Siap package bundles the first year and offers a flat RM350/year renewal, and why the managed plan exists at all — you trade the mental load of “website admin” for a single monthly number.
Company profile design
Many Malaysian SMEs pair a website with a company profile — the polished document you send to tender committees, banks, and corporate clients. Pricing is RM800–RM1,200 depending on the number of pages, whether your content is ready, and design complexity.
We commonly bundle it with a website:
- Company profile (RM1,000) + Business Website Plan (RM199/month), or
- Company profile + website for RM2,300 one-time.
How to get an accurate quote
Pricing guides are only useful if they lead somewhere. Here’s our four-step process, and it’s how we work for every client in Malaysia:
- Chat on WhatsApp — no obligation, we just listen and scope.
- Get a fixed quotation — a clear price based on scope, not on how much we think you’ll pay.
- We build and deploy — you see progress throughout.
- You own the result — credentials, source, and full ownership are handed over.

Common questions
Is RM1,500 cheap or expensive for a website in Malaysia? It’s squarely in the range for a professionally built SME website from a registered studio (SSM: 202603149868). Freelance sites start lower; agency sites with branding, copywriting, and CMS often start well above RM5,000.
Do I need a Malaysian developer? Not necessarily, but a Malaysian provider understands local needs — WhatsApp, Google Business Profile, BM/English bilingual content, e-wallet and bank-transfer realities — and same-timezone support helps.
What if my needs are bigger than a website? If you need a custom web app, a business dashboard, or a .NET/Blazor system, those are quoted by scope. Start with custom software in Malaysia.
We’re based in Kuala Lumpur — is that an issue? Not at all. We’re a Penang-based studio serving businesses across all of Malaysia — most of our clients are in Kuala Lumpur, and everything runs remotely with calls and WhatsApp.
